At $70,000 to join and $700 a month with 1400 family members and parking can get tight. I'm shocked they want to pay food and pool workers $8.50/hour to $10/hour. Yeah, I asked.
I guess this is the south so this seems to be par for the course but my word. I'm grateful for my midwest exposure that showed me it's possible to pay people a living wage and that's that. Banquet workers get $12/hour and they are part time.
I'll update this once I compare against Myers Park which was closer and my first exposure but I genuinely don't believe I can ever justify such even if I had millionaire status.
I'm not a member solely arrived for the Wells Fargo gold tournament and I will say things are pretty and nice. I do expect that from a Southern country club so they are heads and shoulders over the things I have experienced in the midwest.
Of course, the grounds are 5 stars worthy. That's to be expected in the south, imho.
All in all consider the employees say everyone on staff is nice to one another and I think that speaks volumes. I'd just expect folks to make a living wage when the buyin is as much as a house in the area. Yeah~ I'm not making it up... you can get a lot for that $70k. May not be where you want to live but yo... I'm not wrong.
