Back to top
Q: What happens if I do not apply for a membership in the Club within the 60-day period?
A: If you do not apply for a membership within 60 days from the date of your closing on your residence or homesite in the Community, you and the subsequent purchaser of your property may apply for a membership at a later date only if one is available and not otherwise reserved by the Club, and only upon payment of the membership deposit which is then in effect at the time the membership is acquired.
Back to top

A: Yes.

The subsequent purchaser must be approved for membership and pay the then required membership deposit.
The ability to arrange for the transfer of a member's membership to the purchaser of his or her property is an important attribute of membership because, even if there are no memberships available for issuance in the Club at the time, the subsequent purchaser can nonetheless obtain the seller's membership through the Club provided the purchaser is approved for membership.
