The Ultimate Guide to Park City's 

Private Golf Clubs (2026)

Membership Costs, Dues, Amenities & How to Choose the Right Club

If you're thinking about buying a luxury home in Park City, chances are you've started hearing names like Promontory, Talisker, Victory Ranch, Glenwild, Marcella, Red Ledges, and Velvaere.

One of the first questions buyers ask me is...

"Nicole...what does it actually cost to belong to one of these clubs?"

It's a great question because buying the home is only part of the investment.

Depending on the community, you'll also want to understand membership deposits, annual dues, HOA fees, food and beverage minimums, transfer fees, and whether membership is even required.

To make things even more confusing, every club does things a little differently.

Some require membership when you purchase a home.

Some let you choose between golf and social memberships.

Some don't even require you to own property inside the community.

I've toured every one of these clubs, helped buyers purchase homes in many of them, and put together this guide to help simplify the differences.

Before We Talk About Numbers...

One of the biggest mistakes I see buyers make is comparing clubs strictly by annual dues.

That's kind of like choosing a luxury hotel based only on the room rate.

The better question is...

Which club matches the lifestyle you actually want?

Do you want:

• Championship golf?

• Private ski access?

• Family activities?

• Wellness?

• Fly fishing?

• Horse facilities?

• Privacy?

• A place where your kids will make lifelong friends?

Every club has a different personality. That's what makes Park City so unique.

Talisker Club at Tuhaye

Best For: Buyers who want one membership that combines golf, skiing, dining and year-round adventure. This is probably the club buyers misunderstand the most. If you're buying a developer-owned home or lot in Tuhaye, membership isn't optional. It's included in your purchase.

2026 Membership Costs

Initiation Fee

• $250,000 (included in developer pricing)

Annual Club Dues

• $26,060

HOA

• $2,565 annually

Estimated Annual Carry

• Approximately $28,625/year

Golf, guest rounds, ski storage, boating, snowmobiling and many adventure activities are billed separately.

Why Buyers Love Talisker

One membership gives you access to:

• Championship golf

• Tower Club in Deer Valley

• Courchevel Bistro on Main Street

• The Outpost adventure center

• Resort-style pools

• Spa & wellness

• Fitness

• Family programming

If you're looking for one membership that truly covers every season, Talisker is incredibly hard to beat.

Promontory Club

Best For: Families who want the largest collection of amenities in Park City. Promontory separates HOA from Club Membership.

Every owner pays HOA dues. Then you decide whether you want a Full Golf Membership or Social Membership.

• Bowling alley

• Movie theater

• Kids Club

• Spa

• Fitness

• Tennis

• Pickleball

• Horse facilities

If your family wants something to do every weekend, Promontory delivers.

Glenwild Golf Club

Best For: Serious golfers.

Glenwild is unique because you don't have to own real estate there to become a member.

That's a major differentiator.

Why Buyers Love Glenwild

This is a golfer's club. The Tom Fazio course is consistently ranked among the best in Utah. Many members are full-time locals, creating a vibrant year-round community. If golf is your passion, Glenwild should absolutely be on your list.

Victory Ranch

Best For: Buyers who value privacy, fly fishing, and wide-open spaces. Victory Ranch feels completely different than the other clubs.

When I think of Victory Ranch... I don't think about golf first. I think outdoor adventure club first with golf.

Estimated Membership Costs

• Membership Deposit: Approximately $250,000

• Annual Dues: Approximately $29,000

(Always verify current pricing directly with the club.)

Why Buyers Love Victory Ranch

• 6,700 acres

• Private Upper Provo River access

• World-class fly fishing

• Low-density community

• Riverfront cabins

• Miles of trails

• Rees Jones golf course

• Ski clubhouse in Park City

If Talisker feels like a luxury resort, Victory Ranch feels like owning your own private ranch in Montana...only you're ten minutes from Deer Valley.

Red Ledges

Best For: Buyers looking for incredible value without sacrificing luxury. Don't overlook Red Ledges simply because it's located in Heber Valley.

With Deer Valley East Village expanding, I think Red Ledges is becoming one of the smartest long-term lifestyle investments in the area.

• Annual Dues: $15,000

Golf Park

• Deer Valley ski amenities

• Incredible views of Mount Timpanogos

• Strong year-round community

Nearly half of the members live there more than six months a year, which gives Red Ledges a true neighborhood feel.

Marcella

This is luxury at another level.

If you're someone who loves being part of the newest and most exclusive community before everyone else discovers it, Marcella should absolutely be on your radar.

Velvaere

Best For: Buyers who prioritize wellness, recovery, and longevity.

Velvaere is unlike anything else in Park City. Instead of being built around golf... It's built around welness and helping you feel your best.

• Air purification

• Circadian lighting

• Spa

• Fitness

This community is for buyers who believe luxury isn't just about where you live. It's about how you live and are wellness focused.

Park Meadows Country Club

Best For: Full-time Park City residents who want a traditional country club experience in the heart of town.

Park Meadows Country Club is one of the most unique private clubs in the Park City area because there's no real estate tied to the membership.

In fact, Park Meadows Country Club and Glenwild are the only two private clubs where you can become a member without owning property inside the community.

That flexibility makes it a great option for buyers who already own a home elsewhere in Park City, or for locals who simply want a premier golf and social club without purchasing into a gated golf community.

2026 Membership Options

Full Golf Membership

• Membership Deposit: $270,000

• Annual Dues: $20,000

Includes full access to all golf, dining, fitness, pool, and club amenities.

Social Membership

• Membership Deposit: $130,000

• Annual Dues: $10,000

Includes access to all club amenities except golf.

Why Buyers Love Park Meadows Country Club

Park Meadows Country Club has something that none of the other clubs can offer...

Location.

It's the only private country club located right in the heart of Park City.

You're just minutes from Historic Main Street, Deer Valley, Park City Mountain, restaurants, shopping, schools, and everyday conveniences.

Unlike many of the destination clubs, Park Meadows has a strong local membership. You'll meet a lot of full-time residents here, which creates a very different feel than communities made up primarily of second-home owners.

If you're looking for a place where you'll recognize familiar faces and become part of the local community, Park Meadows is hard to beat.

Amenities

Park Meadows Country Club offers a classic country club experience with modern amenities, including:

• Jack Nicklaus Signature 18-hole Golf Course

• Year-round TrackMan golf simulator

• Extensive practice facilities

• Recently renovated clubhouse

• Fine and casual dining

• Private member bar

• Heated swimming pool

• 2,000-square-foot fitness center

• Dedicated movement studio

• Pickleball courts

• Luxury locker rooms

• Boutique golf shop

Everything is designed around convenience, community, and year-round enjoyment.

My Take

I think Park Meadows Country Club often flies under the radar because it isn't attached to a luxury gated community like Promontory or Victory Ranch.

But for many buyers, that's actually the appeal. If you're planning to live in Park City full-time, want to choose your own neighborhood, and still enjoy a fantastic golf and social club, Park Meadows Country Club is one of the best values in town.

It has a classic country club atmosphere, an outstanding Jack Nicklaus golf course, and a membership that's centered around the local community rather than vacation homeowners.

For buyers who value convenience, walkability, and being close to everything Park City has to offer, Park Meadows Country Club deserves a serious look

*Estimated. Verify directly with the club.

Which Private Club Is Right for You?

If you love golf above everything else... Glenwild deserves a close look.

If your family wants endless amenities... Promontory is tough to beat.

If skiing is equally important as golf... Talisker is incredibly compelling.

If privacy, fly fishing, and wide-open spaces are your thing... Victory Ranch is unlike anywhere else.

If you're looking for exceptional value... Red Ledges continues to impress me.

If you want to own in the newest luxury club...Marcella is one to watch. And if wellness, recovery, and longevity are at the top of your priority list...

There's simply nothing else like Velvaere.

Final Thoughts

The truth is, you're not just buying a golf membership.

You're choosing where your family will spend holidays, ski weekends, summer afternoons, and make memories for years to come.

Every one of these clubs has its own personality, culture, and lifestyle. The best one isn't necessarily the most expensive. It's the one that fits the way you actually want to live.

Membership deposits, annual dues, HOA fees, and club policies can change at any time, so always verify current information directly with the club before purchasing.

If you're thinking about buying in one of Park City's private club communities and want help figuring out which one is the best fit, I'd love to help. After living in Park City for nearly four decades and helping buyers navigate these communities, I can help you compare more than just the numbers. I'll help you find the lifestyle that feels like home.
