Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Golf Director is Butch Harmon, Tiger Woods had his lessons with BH there and got into trouble with Nike for wearing their polo shirts when he signed up on turning pro . . . . yep, a bit exclusive.
There's always going to be clubs like that but most Golf Clubs are keen to attract and keep members, the "golf bubble" has burst, in the UK, anyway.
When I joined my current club 10 years ago the waiting list was 5 years for middle handicappers, now you can expect to be in after a couple of months.
