What Does an Invited Clubs Membership Include?

Updated

An Invited Clubs membership connects you to a private club in your area and to a broader network of more than 150 private golf, country, and city clubs. At its core, membership includes access to your home club's golf, racquet sports, dining, wellness, and social activities, plus the option to add XLife Benefits for expanded golf, resort, and dining perks at your home club, across the Invited Clubs network, and at participating clubs around the world. The exact mix of amenities and access depends on which club you join and which membership tier you choose.

The Core Membership Experience

Invited Clubs describes each property as rooted in its local community while connected through a network that expands access and experiences for members. In practice, that means your membership is built around one home club, with the following categories of access:

  • Golf — championship golf is a centerpiece at the golf and country clubs in the portfolio.
  • Racquet & wellness — racquet sports and wellness amenities are part of the club experience.
  • Club life — social life and member connection are treated as a core part of membership, not an add-on.
  • Culinary — dining is included among the club offerings.
  • Hosting and events — clubs support celebrations, corporate meetings, and weddings.

Because the portfolio spans golf and country clubs as well as city clubs, the specific facilities vary by property. A city club membership will look different from a golf club membership.

The Network: 150+ Clubs, 300,000+ Members

Invited Clubs operates a portfolio of private golf, country, and city clubs across major metropolitan and residential markets. The scale is worth noting because it shapes what membership means:

Dimension Figure
Private clubs 150+
Members 300,000+
Years of experience 65+ (since 1957)

Membership is described as rooted in the local community yet connected through a network that expands access and experiences. So the value proposition is two-layered: a club you belong to locally, and a wider set of clubs you can tap into as a member.

XLife Benefits: The Optional Expansion Layer

XLife Benefits are the add-on that extends what a standard membership delivers. According to Invited Clubs, adding XLife Benefits gives you more flexibility to fine-tune your club life by tapping into expanded golf, resort, and dining benefits in three places:

  1. At your home club
  2. Across the Invited Clubs network
  3. At participating clubs around the world

The site frames this as "extra golf, extra experiences, extra value," and notes that alliances and partners are part of the program. If your priority is playing and dining beyond your home club, XLife Benefits are the part of membership to ask about directly.

Reinvestment: What Membership Dues Support

Invited Clubs states that since 1957 it has been reinvesting to modernize amenities and transform clubs. Over the past five years, the company reports:

  • More than $650 million invested across the portfolio
  • More than 25 clubs reimagined through full-course overhauls, clubhouse redesigns, and expanded amenities

Recent examples highlighted on the site include a $22 million makeover at TPC Craig Ranch, a multi-year clubhouse renovation at Westlake Country Club, and a $22 million transformation of Braemar into Mulholland Hills Country Club. For a prospective member, this is a signal about how the portfolio is maintained — but it does not tell you the condition or renovation plans of any single club you're considering.

Community Impact as Part of Membership

Through the Invited Clubs Foundation, the company supports communities connected to its clubs. Programs include scholarships, blood drives, veteran programs, local fundraisers, and a national Crush It! Cup. Members and employees participate together. If community involvement matters to you, this is a dimension of membership beyond amenities.

What the Site Does Not Specify

The source material does not list membership prices, initiation fees, dues, contract terms, or the specific membership tiers available at each club. It also does not state whether any access requires an additional fee beyond XLife Benefits. Those details are set at the individual club level, so the practical next step is to identify clubs near you and contact them directly about membership categories and costs.

How to Decide If It Fits

  • If you want a local club with national reach — the network of 150+ clubs is the main draw.
  • If you travel or want resort and dining access beyond your home club — ask specifically about XLife Benefits and which participating clubs worldwide are included.
  • If golf is your priority — focus on the golf and country clubs in the portfolio rather than city clubs.
  • If you want social, dining, and wellness more than golf — city clubs and the club life, culinary, and wellness offerings may matter more than course access.
