How this profile is researched and calculated

We put this profile together ourselves from official Club materials, published fee schedules and other sources listed below. It is not supplied by the Club. A blank field means we don't know, not that the answer is zero, so don't read a blank as a hidden yes or no. Confirm current pricing, availability and policies with the Club directly before you decide, since details can change.

The first-year cost figure below is a floor, not a full quote: the lowest initiation fee we found plus a year of dues, added together only when both are in the same currency and membership category. It leaves out assessments, spending minimums, taxes and other charges unless we found those documented too, so budget for it to run higher.

The recurring annual cost figure below is also a floor: the lowest yearly dues figure we found, plus any food and beverage minimums or assessments we could confirm are recurring, in the same currency and membership category. Anything we couldn't confirm is left out rather than counted as zero, so your real ongoing cost is likely higher than this number, not lower.
