Village Residence Privileges at the Maple Bluff Country Club

As a resident of the Village of Maple Bluff, you have certain privileges that allow you to enjoy the facilities of Maple Bluff Country Club. We would like to take this opportunity to review these with you.

CLUB MEMBERSHIP

Golfing Membership is available at the current initiation fee of $4,500 (Non resident is $6,500).

Social Membership or a Social with Pool and Tennis (SPT) Membership is available to you for one-half the initiation fee for non-residents. You have received a letter regarding our special introductory membership. See special introductory fee’s below.

A Village resident who is a Social or SPT member and wishes to change to a Golfing membership will not be held on the waiting list for more than one year (currently there is no wait list).

All Village residents need two sponsors, one of whom needs to write a letter of recommendation.

USE OF CLUB FACILITIES

You may have lunch, dinner, or sponsor an event with as many guests as the club can accommodate, up to three times per year. Per club policy, booking a private room may require a non-refundable deposit to secure the date; this deposit will be applied to the total charges.

We encourage you to make reservations for such occasions by calling 249-2144, when doing so you need only to give your name and advise that you are a Village resident.
