I had a part time job in a country club back in the day myself. Bartender as well. It was a hilarious place to work. It was a tennis club, not golf.
Old dudes (to me back then, younger than I am now sadly) would sit in the "cafe" (yeah, we sold some food, but 95% of sales was booze) and get snockered while watching their young wives take lessons from the pro's. They would sit in there for hours, and by the time 5PM rolled around, they couldn't walk. Their wives would come in glowing and happy from hours of exercise (and probably a bit of extra from the pro's in the locker room) and have a glass of wine or mineral water and try to sober them up before they went home.
Had one woman who got in an argument with her much older husband, he told her to STFU, and she jumped up on a table, pulled up her tennis skirt and started pointing at her crotch screaming, "This is GOLD MF'er. I get anything I want, and you get this so don't tell me to shut up if you want to keep getting it". I'll never forget that. I always wanted to be him some day so I could reply, "I got 3 other gold ones and a couple of silver, sit down and shut up".

My first job was working in the pro shop at what passed for the best country club in the state. Even at 15 I thought it was way over-rated. I worked there until I left for Tulane and never saw anything close to a better quality of life. Those folks were insanely selfish, too. I found one member's wallet with $1800 in it and all his credit cards. He gave me $2. WTF?

There is a definite pecking order. I observed with an artistic eye how someone, who would never be admitted to the inner circle, pathetically tried and tried to hide his noveau riches and overcompensate. But, he just was not old money. I saw more pastel kitsch fashions than a basket full of Easter eggs. As a bartender, I had to remember all the for crap concotions the members individually designed for themselves. I was on the make for the women and sometimes I got lucky. It was a dangerous game to play, though.

Oh you have no idea how much I like those guys, Reese. TCM had a Marx Brothers marathon not too long ago and my wife was couldn't get to move off the couch even after pointing out I'd already seen every movie a dozen times.
She ain't got no culture!

Never was a member, but had friends who were, so I got to go in the summer.

My wife's job comes with a country club membership. We got it in October. Last night was the first time we went. We had dinner. It was pretty good. And cheap. I had a steak for $12 and my wife had pasta for $10.
Neither of us golfs so it's fairly pointless. I think we'll start going for the food though.

I belong to a CC that I caddied at as a boy.
I always hated the old doctors that would bring in their 60lb bag full of as many clubs as they could fit and then ask you to carry it for 18.
It was and is a great place to make friends and business acquaintances.
I have no problem with them or people joining them.
