This review is not for membership in the Country Club (since I am not a member), but for the aspects of the club that most of us peons (i.e., non-members) would have access to. The typical thing is that you get invited to an event here, as I was. It was a good time. The food, believe it or not, is a cut above average. The facility itself is a bit worse for wear, but in a dignified and stately way. Like think low-rent Ivy League meets faux Wild-West. If that makes sense. It is a little dark and dated, and there was like a mess of stuff downstairs in the lower level, which we roamed around when trying to find our way out, but still, being there, you may feel as though you have "arrived." I have not seen the golf course, but I imagine that they take that kind of thing seriously, so it must be good.
There's not much in the way of a real warm inviting feeling, or anything. You either belong or you don't. There is plenty of parking, and the night we were there a white Porsche actually parked on the sidewalk of the entrance. (Not sure what that's about). But there is a lovely and wide entrance that feels welcoming. And at this time of year a lovely Christmas tree! The conference space itself is a bit awkward, with huge stone columns that block your view of the speaker. But that's alright. The wait staff is good. My banquet companion even paid one of them to bring her a glass of wine to the table (as it was a no-host bar, and past the time of the cocktail hour), and it was done with a smile.
If you get invited, go.
