Anyone a member at a New York City metro area club?

[crohrs]

I live in Manhattan but am researching clubs in the area that might be an option to join. I'm looking for a place that would have a junior or associate option since I'm young enough still, and somewhere that costs would be fairly reasonable. Westchester, New Jersey, Long Island all options. Anyone looking for a young new member at their club, or know of places that would be?

I joined at NJ National in basking ridge a couple months ago. They added a jr. Exec membership (35 or younger) this yr which i think is a good deal and the reason I joined. There's no initiation or food/bev mins and annual dues are reasonable. Nice course in great condition this year and it's part of Club Max, which includes access to Minisceongo, Pine Barrens, hollow Brook and 50% off greens fees at Twisted Dunes near AC.

Pretty easy to get there too. I live downtown so it's a straight shot from the Holland though coming back into town can be a pain due construction on 78. Mini may make more sense if you live uptown. Really nice course too.

Happy to give u more info on my experience if you'd like.

I'm a member at Metuchen, and live on the Hudson right across from midtown.

The junior membership is absurdly low initiation and dues. However, this is the ambassador program, which ends June 30 I believe.

We have added net 60 members in the 18 months of the program.

The golf course is an old, classic design. Great greens. Even better membership.

Plus, we are a member owned club and financially very stable.

PM me if you want to go out and play one day.

Westchester can be a bit tough.

Last year Leewood had a special deal that was fairly reasonable. Very old course with a lot of history.

There's a few posts on this in the mid-atlantic forum so check there for more info too.

I am a member of Westchester Hills in White Plains. It's one of the cheaper private options available and we do have junior memberships and associate which they created to bring on more younger members. Here's our pricing to give you a feel:

JR 21 to 30 = $2,000 initiation, dues are $384/month
JR 31 to 34 = $4,700 initiation, $576/month
JR 35 to 40 = $4,700 initiation, $702/month

Associate = golf after 12pm = $2,000 initiation, $596/month

Let me know if you are interested in more info and if you'd like to play.

I'm looking into this at the moment too. Apparently the courses in mid Long Island have no initiation but high subs and north of the city in westchester they have initiations but more reasonable subs. Some of the run of the mill clubs on LI charge about $15k per year plus. Ouch! I have ins at a couple of westchester clubs but they're not where I expect to be living in a few years and the initiations can be a LOT of money. Some thinking to be done
