What to Independently Verify
CORRECTED this pass: earlier record incorrectly showed 'membership_required_for_homeowners: no' -- research this session found every resident carries a mandatory Social membership as part of home purchase; golf itself remains a separate, optional purchase. Reported golf initiation fees conflict across sources ($50,000 per one local source vs. $100,001-$150,000 per a directory) and were not reconciled -- confirm current membership tier, pricing, and whether golf membership is required or optional for a given real estate purchase directly with the club.
