How much do you guess for membership here?

The Landings Club - Home

6 championship courses!!! Designed by Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, Arthur Hills.

This is where the Georgia Senior Tournament is to be held this year. Applications start being accepted next week. I didn't get in last year, and probably won't this year either, but I'll still try.

Wow, looks awesome!

I'd guess (and I'm pulling this out of my butt) 250,000 initation, and 75,000 a year. Considering the local private here is 30,000, I'd consider it a bargain.

More than I could afford. Probably you too.

Excuse me $30,000!?! for a membership?

What's so surprising? I've paid $150 for a round before, and it is most definitely worth it. There are many courses with high memberships, but it is most likely because it is very well maintained, in a very nice location or just a very nice golf course altogether.

But still who could afford that? I wouldn't waste my money on that I would buy a car or have a down payment on a house.

That's why they denied the Doc. He wanted to pitch a tent in the woods off the the 15th fwy. and live there.

The closest private to me is a gated community and golf course. You need to own a house to be a member, and the houses start in the 600 thousands. The membership is in the area of 30 large, and you also are required to spend a lot in the clubhouse restaurant. Huge status symbol to be a member. The course is supposed to be really nice, but its way too much money.

1% of the people in this country have 99% o the money. $30,000 is pocket change to them.

I'm not one of them.

Like Groucho said: I wouldn't want to belong to a club that would have me as a member.

personally couldn't afford it but its all relative, 30K isn't a huge amount for someone who might run their own business or bring a lot of clients etc out to the course...an awful lot of sales happen on course...
last company I worked for I meet one of the top account managers once(software sales) he was year in year out in the top 5, a pure closer....signed about 30% of his contacts on the 19th....

I can assure you his commision on those accounts would certainly dwarf that 30K...
