How much does it cost to join the Austin Country Club?

As per the official website, the Austin Country Club is a privately member-owned club, meaning only those who receive an invitation from current members in good standing can apply here.

For those who are able to receive an invitation or are just curious about the prices of a membership, the costs are not publicly displayed on the official website, with the exception of the type of memberships they offer — golf, tennis and social, each with its own inclusions.  Again, with no information publicly available via the official source, we were able to find some numbers via an unconfirmed third-party website, stating the membership costs could be in the $100,000 range for the golf-only membership, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

According to one member on this City-data.com forum thread, who knew of a member at the club, noted a social membership would have a $13,500 initiation fee and $240 in dues, whereas a resident membership, which included golf, tennis, dining, pool and all of the other club’s facilities, would have an $80,000 initiation fee.  While the thread was a few years old, this could offer an idea as to what you may need to budget if you were a member.

Even if you had the invitation and the cash to join, the Austin American-Statesman also notes there’s a 17-year waiting list for those looking for a golf-only membership.

Club amenities

Golf:  The club offers one 180-acre 18-hole golf course, designed by Pete Dye, one of the top golf architects in the world, according to Golfweek Magazine.  The course, as per the description, is known for its dramatic 18th hole fairway fall, deep pot bunkers and turf, with limestone slabs, all quarried on site, build as revetments for the fairways, greens and tees.  Aside from the golf course, additional golf amenities include the Harvey Penick learning center.

Tips to know

The club, like many country clubs, follows a strict dress code while on the premises.  In general, men are not allowed to wear hates in the Terrace of banquet areas, for example, while Harvey’s, the restaurant on site, does allow causal attire.  For more information in regards to the official dress code policy, refer to the “attire” page on the official website.
