How to Choose the Right Country Club
Each club has a different culture, cost, and experience. Here’s what we recommend our clients consider before joining:
Practical Questions to Ask Before You Commit
- What is your primary use? If golf is your main focus, Peachtree or Capital City are top-tier. If you want a full social experience, Druid Hills may be a better fit.
- Do you plan to use it year-round? Consider clubs that offer year-round programming, heated pools, or indoor facilities.
- What are the upfront costs? Initiation fees at some clubs can exceed six figures, while others offer more flexible payment options.
- Can you try it out first? Some clubs offer guest passes, trial memberships, or special introductory rates—worth asking about.
- What’s the travel time from your home? Even a 15-minute drive can feel like a hassle if you plan to use the club several times a week.
We can help you assess these details and ensure that your club choice aligns with your home search goals.
