A sampling of 13 of the highest rated private clubs (out of nearly 80 in metro Atlanta) found the average initiation fee for full membership is just over $50,000, according to consulting firm Global Golf Advisors.
Don’t forget to add in dues and other mandatory fees and charges that average $680 a month at those local clubs.
