country club memberships
Exclusive recreational subscriptions
Country club memberships are paid affiliations with private recreational facilities, typically offering golf, tennis, swimming, and dining.
The term often carries connotations of wealth, social exclusivity, and networking among upper-middle-class professionals: They couldn't afford the country club membership on a teacher's salary.
Membership may require sponsorship by existing members and approval by a committee, reinforcing their status as markers of social standing.
