Im not sure about MCC, but NOCC you have to be invited, have to have letters of recommendations, then they vote you in or not. You can also be blackballed with the quickness if you dont watch your mouth

I'm guessing Baton Rouge CC is kind of the same way, but a little less money and prestige.
I had been doing business with a member and we were talking one day about Baton Rouge and he said they had come pretty close to just becoming a place for people over 65 years old and membership was dropping, etc.
They finally realized they needed to do something to make it appeal to the young folks more and I think that's when they built the new kind of sports bar area and made some other changes.

NOCC is superior on every level. Slightly snootier.
If NOCC is superior on every level, what is the perk of retaining membership at MCC?

Because as has mention before, you can't just throw a little money around and show up to sign a membership form at NOCC.

SYC has a westbank member...just saying

Know members of both.
Upon casual consideration, the NOCC members I know are blue bloods and the MCC members I know are new money types.
I know a couple of NOCC & SYC members who are also involved in Pickwick, etc. AND certain other organizations which I shall not name here.
They’re the ones who are truly niched in NOLA and merely money won’t do that for you.

MCC is like Endymion. Somewhat fancy, but not over the top, if you can afford to get in, you can. Like many new money places, some of the members can be pretty obnoxious.
NOCC is like Comus. The money is assumed. It's more about tradition, family name, etc.
The golf isn't much at either one, honestly.
NOCC draws members from all over the city, and the neighborhood sucks. MCC draws from Old Metairie, and the neighborhood has people like the Guidry's who cut down oaks, get in fights with Al Copeland, and have obnoxious new construction homes.
After Katrina, MCC was struggling and waived initiation fees or greatly reduced them, and dues, for a while, to build back up the membership. I know several people who joined during this time and still belong. NOCC would never even imagine doing such a thing.

My grandfather was a member at both. He lived on Vincent Avenue in OM and it was easier for his kids to get to Metairie CC. He played golf at NOCC.

Not sure what NOCC is like... but you need 3 letters of recommendations from members to get in BRCC and they can’t be relatives. And must meet the board and still be approved by a screening committee.
BRCC is not cheap for stockholder membership (age 35+) but is actually fairly affordable for junior membership.. especially if under age 30.

Brcc’s junior membership is a pretty solid deal if you can swing it. If you use the gym you can justify it pretty easily.
The course isn’t my favorite but it’s always in good shape
CCL has a much better golf course IMO

Please elaborate. These folks sound entertaining.

NOCC members also purchase stock when they join and their initial fees are a complex scale....
Posted on 5/12/20 at 11:18 am to LSUFanHouston
Fairly accurate. However, MCC is much harder to get into than endymion. I would compare it more to Hermes. You have to have some class and connections to get invited.
Old Metairie also has Bill Goldring and Jerry Citanovich. Guidry is the exception, not the rule in the OM.

NOCC is a pretty big undertaking to get in. Formal vetting process, equity memberships, and pretty large annual dues.
MCC is, as most have said, much easier to get in.
I don't play golf but we did entertain the idea of joining for social reasons. I think the initial membership was +/- $20k and the monthly fees would be somewhere around $600-$700. A pretty hefty fee to have social outings, a pool, and probably above average food. We couldn't justify the costs.
We go to NOCC pretty often with my FIL. No fricking way could I even think about affording NOCC. It's very old school and lots of old money. Lee in the men's locker room will pour your a brimmer Maker's Mark. Watch out! Their food has always been very good and it's super nice sitting on the new open air restaurant overlooking the course.

Have you played NOCC since the post-Katrina renovation? It is 5 times better than before. Always in immaculate condition with great drainage.
