country club members

Exclusive leisure society

Country club members are people who belong to a private recreational club, typically one with golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools, and dining facilities.

The term often carries connotations of wealth, exclusivity, and social privilege: The neighborhood was full of country club members who didn't want affordable housing nearby.

Used dismissively, it suggests people insulated from ordinary concerns.
