Private clubs are exclusive organizations that require membership for access. They often provide various amenities and services, such as dining, recreational activities, and social events. Members typically pay fees or dues to join and maintain their membership, which can create a sense of community among them. These clubs can cater to specific interests, such as golf, sailing, or social networking. Some well-known examples include golf clubs, country clubs, and yacht clubs. Membership criteria can vary, with some clubs requiring sponsorship from existing members or an application process to ensure a compatible group of individuals.
