This offer is limited and as we near our membership cap wanted our friends and neighbors to be the first to receive this information.  If you would be so kind as to contact one of our Clubs membership directors with questions.  Your can reach Barbie Gonzales or Chris Robinson at 623.561.9600 or email: bgonzales@eaglegolf.com, crobinson@eaglegolf.com.

We look forward to hearing from you before March 31st!

I have attached answers to a few questions you may have:
Market Comparison:  We continuously monitor all neighboring private clubs to ensure we know exactly what other clubs offer in terms of initiation fees, dues and services.  Over the last two years, knowing that we were not only the best value in the entire market, but also the most active, we are thankfully not only maintaining our size, but growing slowly rather than the 30% to 40% membership reduction horror stories at other Clubs.  That said; we want to grow more rapidly to continue being the most vital and relevant Club providing the most value to our Members.

Dues Pricing:  Through our price comparisons with other Clubs, with our extensive amenities, activities, membership involvement and facility, we are far and away already the best value in the area.  Upon completing a detailed study of the entire area, we found that although we have the strongest offering of any other Club in the greater Phoenix area, no Club in the area adjusted to the local market conditions...including us!  Our existing strength allowed us to act on this information by resetting our dues levels.   

Future Dues Increases:  I am sure there will be questions regarding annual increases.  These dues levels are not for any length of time and then returning to “normal.”  These dues levels are our normal prices.  Like every other Club, we will review pricing annually as has been done in the past.  We have been in the 3 to 4% range each year since 2007 and you can expect that normal CPI range of 3 to 5% to continue.
