country club member

Exclusive club participant

A country club member belongs to a private social club, typically one offering golf, tennis, swimming, and dining facilities.

Membership requires sponsorship and substantial dues, making it a marker of upper-middle-class or wealthy status.

The term often carries connotations of exclusivity, privilege, and insularity: He has that country club member attitude—friendly enough if you're one of them.
