Golf Membership
There are three different golf courses available to members, but at a cost. The initiation fee for golf membership is $85,000. Yes, you read that right. Annual golf dues are an additional $12,000.

Sticker shock aside, if you are an avid golfer, this may be the place for you. The north course was opened in 2001 and later redesigned by Rees Jones in 2017.
