How can I get him in to Muirfield Village Golf Club? (Columbus: cost of, moving to)

[jessica12]

Ok, husband is willing to consider moving to Columbus, with the caveat that he wants to be a member at Muirfield Village Golf Club. He says if I can get him in, we can move!! Seems like kind of an impossible task to me....the club is exceedingly private and hard to join. Forget about the cost of initiation and fees, just getting an invitation to join seems to be impossible. Any ideas??

I used to caddy there and believe me, its no easy task becoming a member. Even if you can afford it, Im almost sure there is a wait-list for people wanting to become members. You sure must be doing pretty well though, if you can afford it!

When it comes to golf, money is no object!!! Just kidding....but that's how I feel sometimes. We are doing well right now with our savings, and some clubs offer a junior membership if you're a bit younger (we are 31). Plus with most of the clubs, the initiation fee is the biggest hurdle; after that, the monthly minimums are not always so bad. I don't know what Muirfield costs, although I'm sure it's tens of thousands to join.
