what.club: The Private-Club Admission Ledger

what.club Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A searchable guide to 408 private clubs around New York, tracking initiation fees, dues, wait times, sources, and signs that clubs are accepting members.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The directory covers Westchester, Fairfield County, Long Island, and North Jersey, and separates initiation revenue from member-reported costs such as dues and sponsors. Its “taking members” signal is inferred from changes in initiation-fee revenue reported on Form 990 filings, rather than from an official admissions announcement. Examples on the homepage include a $100 initiation fee at Netherwood Tennis Club and $2,150 annual dues at Seven Bridges Field Club.
