What constitutes a "golf club"?

I'm told Jimmy Dunne filled the Seminole pool with dirt and grew grass there..
...a quick glance on google earth seems to confirm this.
Paul Jones:
My definition:
Golf Club - Golf Only
Country Club - Golf plus (Tennis, Swim, etc...)
Ben Malach:
So in essence this thread is a bunch of old men mad at other old men for spending their money differently cool.
Great use of two pages and 3 days of time in earth.

Carl Johnson:
Obviously a lot of different opinions. What I would look for is a culture that values the game of golf. The members, at least most of them, the leaders particularly, understand the history and traditions of the game and the etiquette and rules, understand the architecture of the club's course, and truly enjoy the experience of playing the game together (no club tossing in anger, etc.). If these criteria are met, I wouldn't strike a club off simply because it had some non-golf amenities.
