UCLUB.

CCL course is awesome. Membership is a mix of retired and young. There are tons of young families in the neighborhood and at the pool in the summer. The golf course has more old than young but still plenty people in their 30s and 40s. At CCL there is a big portion of the members that live in the neighborhood, so people tend to know each other pretty well.

BRCC demographically is the same. The course is tighter but still super nice. It's more than double the cost to join vs CCLA.

Food is excellent at both. Neither has good workout facility if you're a gym rat.

UCLUB--you're already there so you know what's going on there.

If it's all about golf then CCL is the best. If For social reasons just choose the one where you know more people.

Understanding poverty, the middle class, and the upper class. According to the Census Bureau, 46.2 million people—about 15 percent of the U.S. population—currently live below the poverty line, or the income level needed to make a bare-essentials living in the United States. This figure depends on a number of factors, but is currently calculated to be an annual income of $23,050 for a family of four.

The next level of income is the middle class, a broad category that captures the vast majority of Americans. It's also controversial: Scholars and studies define sections of the middle class differently. But there are similarities between nearly all classifications.

The working class falls at the lowest end of the middle-class spectrum. These workers are employed in blue-collar industries or are paid by the hour. They typically have lower levels of education.

Next is the lower-middle class, which is primarily comprised of lower-level, white-collar workers. These workers typically have college educations, but lack the graduate degrees needed to advance to higher levels of employment. Income for these workers generally falls between $32,500 and $60,000.

Upper-middle-class workers typically have post-graduate degrees and work at high-level, white-collar positions. Household income for these workers is often above $100,000. According to the Census bureau, upper-middle-class, or professional class workers, earn enough to be in the top one-third of American incomes.

The next income level is what is commonly called the "5 percent," or the percentage of Americans who make more than $150,000 annually. At the top of the economic ladder is the so-called "1 percent," or households that earn more than $250,000 annually.

What? no.

UCLUB is a best value but the course is clowns mouth stupid at times and crowded. CCLA is the best layout in the city and overall best for a golfer. BRCC is old money and basically sherwood without the ditch but in nice shape.

I don't think Reese Jones ever had his hand in Sherwood

Evel Kneivel took a dump at Sherwood once. Jones put some lipstick on BRCC. What are we talking about again?

Good luck getting in.

Any of them at the moment is actually pretty easy to get in but that window is closing. CCL and BRCC is running a deal for young professionals to get in at a steal, BRCC is kinda lame golf wise and a much older crowd IMO and if golf is your thing then CCL trumps them all. I wouldn't join UClub because of all of the tournament play and never being able to get a tee time there, CCL would be my choice if I lived in the BR area hands down.
