Country clubs in the rough as members drop
Hampshire Country Club on Long Island Sound is closed this year as costs rise and memberships shrink from hundreds to about 100. Industrywide, golf facilities have fallen by about 100 clubs a year for four years as initiation fees and dues stay high, while changing family lifestyles reduce demand for traditional, all-day weekend club life.
