Westchester Country Club

“It's 155k to join. The guy above quoted dues a little low. It's probably in the 22k area. Yearly is 19k+ monthly extras. The waitlist is currently closed so you can even start the process to join (aka don't bother now). Im currently sponsoring someone that joined before the shutdown of new members. They were quoting 5 years at the time of shutdown. A heard a few weeks ago a family got in after 10 years of being on the list.”

“One thing is for sure: you won't get a cabana at the beach club. Those alone are by death only and usually part of a will.”

“At westchester, there is a review process in which you will be allowed to partake in the club but will be scrutinized to ensure you are acceptable. This sounds worse than it is; just be sociable and don't act like a jerk. The wait in between application and acceptance can be long, you might be placed on a waiting list.”

“Initiation is about 100k, sounds high but is actually pretty par for the course (no pun intended) when it comes to highly rated golf clubs. Annual dues about 10-15k, as well as minimums for dining.”

“The main path to membership is for your lead sponsor bringing you out to play as a guest with two other members on a few occasions and hopefully those other members will co-sponsor. Really helps to be a 24 or better.”

“Hard club to join. Need to have at least one very enthusiastic and committed sponsors. Living in the city you don't have access to the easiest way to meet such a member - the parent association at Rye Country Day or Greenwich Day, the rich-bro-sports-dad mafia for Mamaroneck, Rye Neck, Rye and Harrison schools - but you could try to join a club in the city that has lots of WCC members - NYAC, NYR&T, Metropolis, University, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Penn or Cornell”
