This is one of the most exclusive country clubs in the country, and it’s a favored haunt of many Hollywood bigwigs. That’s especially true for those celebs who love golf, as the golf here is topnotch. The RCC has hosted several prestigious golf tournaments ever since its founding in 1926, and these include the 1948 US Open, the PGA Championships in 1983 and 1995, the 1998 US Senior Open, and the 2017 US Amateur. It will also host the Olympic men’s and women’s golf competitions in 2028.
Aside from the golf course, it has 24 tennis courts. Twenty-two of these tennis courts are hard courts, but there are also 2 clay courts. The club also offers tennis programming for all ages and skill levels, courtesy pf the 30 tennis pros on the staff.
Membership can be an arduous process, and it’s often futile unless you’re a Hollywood celeb and you’re well connected. You’ll need 2 members to sponsor your application and these 2 members have to be in good standing with the country club for at least a year.
Then these members must also attest that they’ve known you for at least 3 years. The admissions committee will question your sponsors thoroughly, and ask about your personal credentials and your character. Rumor has it that the sponsors will be asked 5 crucial questions, and then these answers and their letters of recommendation will be sent to the members committee. If the answers pass muster, then the application goes through the Board of Governors for the final approval.
After you’ve gone through that long process, you’re required to pay the member initiation fee of at least $250,000. The annual dues total at least $25,000 although some reports say that it can reach $40,000 per year.
