country club lifestyle

Golf and cocktails

A country club lifestyle refers to the affluent, leisurely way of living associated with private club membership—golf, tennis, poolside lounches, and socializing with others of similar wealth.

The phrase often carries connotations of exclusivity, privilege, and insulation from ordinary concerns: They've grown accustomed to a country club lifestyle.

It can be used admiringly or critically, depending on the speaker's attitude toward wealth and leisure.
