What to Independently Verify
Confirm current initiation fee, annual dues, and golf-membership waitlist status directly with the club (membershipoffice@venicegcc.com / 941-492-9600) before purchase, and confirm whether a specific listing already carries an attached golf membership -- this materially changes the effective cost of entry.
