There is an application fee of $350 (as of the 2022-2023 year).

There is no required spend on food or drink.

The athletic membership offers access to the pool, gym, locker rooms, and racquetball courts. Most people choose to get this, but it is not required.

Members without an athletic membership may use the bar, restaurant and social functions. If they wish to use the athletic facilities, they need to pay a daily fee.

The membership year starts on April 1. New members, who join after April 1, will pay pro-rated fees and dues, plus a fixed application fee.
