I remember my membership fee at the Binghamton, New York Country club. The initiation fee was in excess of $4,000. Then we paid $400 a month memebership fee, plus we paid $20 cart use. Paying all that money, (which is not as expensive as other country clubs) gave us a feeling that we had to play at that one club. Now, I have a choice of 10 or 12 (how many is it now) clubs. It seems like a bargain to me.

Before moving to the Villages, we looked an average housing development in Charleston, SC where there was one country club. The membership fee was $40,000 dollars. The pro shop was in a trailer. :dontknow:

The prices here seem like a bargain to me.
