Most exclusive clubs in the world?

[Peter Pallotta]

   Ha ha - good one.
And the naysayers said that it would never work, that no one would travel that far to play golf.
But with 18 stunning golf holes routed over 900 square miles of rugged, wind swept terrain, and with room for another 600 courses and 200 clubhouses and lodges, this is surely the #1-ranked resort destination of the future!
Has anyone heard who the architect for the *next* course will be? I hope it's Tom...

*Personally, just looking at the photos and reading the write-ups, I'm not sure I like the 'open-jaw' style of routing and the (resulting) need to take a bullet train to the first tee...but I suppose the architects went for the best 18 holes they could find, so maybe that price is worth it...

Peter,I'm surprised you fell for the photo--can't you tell a movie set when you see one? Everyone knows the moon landing was a hoax--most likely put together by the Deep State with help from the Rothschilds and the Clinton Foundation (retroactively).

[Peter Pallotta]

I suppose 'retroactively' is easy for the Rothschilds. They can do anything. Just yesterday they engineered the process of human evolution...

But now, J, we've sidetracked a thread about the world's most exclusive courses. 'Course, for my tastes, I wish the Rothschilds had sidetracked it 14 years ago (retroactively, using Bill Clinton as cover...)

Make the Moon great again! The Moon doesnt need a wall and is wide open for golf development. So it's perfect for comrade Trumpsky. He can proclaim himself the first man on the Moon. All prior were just fake news and confirmed by Fox news.

Swinley Forest.


Difficult and lengthy process to join. The fact the royal family are members can complicate the process too.

Swinley Forest.

The founders of Swinley were men who found Sunningdale too busy, so they very consciously restricted their new club to 200 members. So yes, it is basically impossible to get in unless you are seriously connected. But playing there as a visitor is easy, you just call up and ask for a tee time. So it's a yes/no on this count.
