What Does It Take To Get Into The World's Most Exclusive Country Clubs?
The Most Elite Of The Elite
There are country clubs, and then there are country clubs. From Augusta and St. Andrews to Trump Miami and Liberty National, these country clubs are the best of the best.
Augusta National Golf Club - Initiation Fee: $300,000
Augusta National Gold Club needs to introduction. Home of the Masters for nearly a century, few people ever even get the chance to play Augusta, let alone become a member. And those who do have to shell out $300,000 to get in, the fourth highest initiation fee in the world.
Do you know what's #1?
Baltusrol Golf Club - Initiation Fee: $150,000
You might be surprised how many of the world's most expensive and elite golf clubs are in New Jersey. Springfield's Baltusrol Golf Club charges a $150,000 initiation fee.
I think watching the US Open is as close as I'll ever get to Baltusrol's iconic clubhouse.
Bear’s Club - Initiation Fee: $90,000
You can get into Bear's Club for a mere $90,000 initiation fee. Bear's Club has only been in Jupiter, Florida since 1999, but with Jack Nicklaus designing the course, that's a bargain!
Boca West Country Club - Initiation Fee: $90,000
Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Floria, isn't just a country club—it's an entire residential community. The 72 pristine holes of golf are just a plus. Not bad for just $90,000.
