DESCRIPTION
An area sporting institution which enjoys its reputation as the oldest, and one of the finest, university-affiliated golf courses in the country. The 18-hole course was designed by architect William Flynn to sit on approximately 100 acres. The course and clubhouse are on Princeton University property, but Springdale operates as a private entity under a licensing agreement with the University. Part of that agreement requires the club to allow access to all university students, faculty, and administrators. The club likes to keep a fairly constant membership around 325, therefore the wait is approximately two years for prospective members.

MEMBERSHIP
New members must be sponsored by a current member, and must be seconded by two other members; prospective members must then meet with the membership committee and be approved by the Board of Governors before their membership is accepted.

FEES/DUES
Initiation fee - $18,000
