Is that all?

I'm thinking of signing up for the $24,000 one

I'll shell out $24k if I get a good ROI.

Do you have to be invited by a member to join?

$24K!!! Oh my.....

I considered joining there when I lived in Houston the first time around. I would have paid ~$2000 for the initiation fee since I was under 30 years old at the time and about $150/month. I looked into it a few weeks ago and it was $10,000 and $180/month.

I don't see golf included there.... I'm sure that is a ton more...

although I don't understand why would you join just to use the 'ameneities' at the hotel? I don't get everyone's facination with this place. I've been there for many events and stayed there many times (my firm has also has a fascination for this place) and it ain't all that. The spa is nice, but you dont' have to be a member to go, so I don't get it. The golf membership, however, is a completely different story.

Its not about amenities and for most that work out there, that isnt a lot of money at all. Its about the social aspects of the club.

I guess so... but click that link and look at the hat on that kid, and tell me that's where you wanna lay doen 24k to rub elbows....

that hat is ****ing awful.

i believe you have privileges to the other redstone courses when you pay the 24k..... so that's definitely a good thing.

I'd like to bump something into the chick on the right though.
