Thinking About Living in Wynlakes Golf & Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Wynlakes Golf & Country Club and the surrounding Montgomery / Auburn-Opelika golf market.
Wynlakes Golf & Country Club is the private, membership-based club at the center of the Wynlakes neighborhood in east Montgomery, one of the city's best-known upscale planned communities. Developer Jim Wilson & Associates began building Wynlakes in the mid-1980s around an 18-hole Joe Lee golf course and a chain of small lakes, and the community has grown to more than 1,000 single-family homes, ranging from traditional estates to garden homes, laid out along winding, tree-lined streets and cul-de-sacs. For a golf-oriented buyer, Wynlakes represents Montgomery's clearest example of a purpose-built, golf-course-centered subdivision, distinct from the city's older, in-town private clubs.
The club itself operates on a standard private-membership model with tiered initiation fees and dues, plus a full amenity package beyond golf: tennis, pickleball, a fitness center, and a pool. As of the 2026 research date the club was reported to be marking its 40th anniversary with reduced initiation fees across membership categories, which buyers should treat as a time-limited promotional rate rather than the club's standard pricing.
Golf & Course
The 18-hole course was designed by Joe Lee, a prolific Florida-based architect known for numerous Southeastern private and resort courses; specific yardage/par details were not confirmed from public sources in this pass.
Membership & Access
Does buying a home here include club membership?
Wynlakes operates as a private club with published initiation-fee ranges (roughly $7,500-$30,000 depending on category, per third-party aggregators) and category-specific annual dues (a Corporate membership was cited at $20,000 initiation / $15,625 annual dues). Whether living in the surrounding Wynlakes community requires or automatically includes club membership was not confirmed; buyers should not assume either answer without asking the club and HOA directly.
