Communities Near The Founders Club
Living in these communities does not automatically grant golf membership unless noted below — confirm access directly with the club.
What to Independently Verify
Confirm current initiation fee and residency-based pricing directly with the club; secondary sources disagree (figures ranging ~$80,000-$150,000 depending on source and residency category, with monthly dues reported around $1,000-$1,200). The club's own membership page (confirmed via search-indexed content, direct fetch blocked this session) names three tiers: Signature Golf (full access), Associate Golf (seasonal access -- 12 rounds Nov-Apr, unlimited May-Oct), and Social (non-golf amenities year-round, reduced-fee golf May-Oct). The community is confirmed gated (private, gated golf community east of I-75).
