La Rinconada Country Club membership is limited and by invitation only. Proprietary Members have equity in the assets of the Club and enjoy reciprocal privileges at many private golf and country clubs.

CERTIFICATED/PROPRIETARY This type of Membership conveys full privileges of the Club to the Member, spouse and children under the age of 21 who are members of the household. The Member receives a certificate representing one ownership share and one vote in all elections and general Membership decisions of the Club. There are 416 proprietary Members. The purchase cost to the buyer is the amount of the lowest priced Certificated Membership available and includes a 35% transfer fee paid to the Club. All sales are handled through the Club Administration Office and no financing is available. A refundable deposit of $5,000.00 must accompany the application. Monthly dues are $595.00. In addition, the annual food and beverage minimum and tournament fees also apply.

SOCIAL GOLF A limited number of Social Golf Memberships are available. Social Memberships are priced by the Board of Directors and are nonrefundable. Dues are currently set at ½ that of a Certificated Membership, and are set by the Board of Directors and reviewed annually. Full Food and Beverage minimums apply. The Social Member will have full access to the facilities, the use of the golf course during "open play", as defined in the General Rules of LRCC, for two rounds per month at no cost to the Member. During play, the Social Member may invite an accompanied guest(s) at prevailing guest fees and consistent with the Guest Policies of the Club. Social Members are not entitled to play in Club tournaments established for the benefit of Certificated Members. Social Members who decide to purchase a Certificated Membership would be allowed to apply 65% of their Social Membership entrance fee toward the purchase of the Certificated Membership. Social Memberships are "callable" at the discretion of the Board of Directors. If called, Membership fees would be refunded as long as the Social Member is in good standing with the Club.

WOMEN’S GOLF CLUB The Women’s Golf Club is the choice for playing 18 holes with other women during the week. The regular play day is on Tuesday mornings throughout the year. In addition to playing with the Members, there are monthly opportunities to bring a guest. Major tournaments include a Handicap, Championship, Invitational and Member-Member Tournament. In order to qualify for membership, a USGA Handicap index which translates to a 36 or less course handicap based on the red tee rating at La Rinconada Country Club is required. Membership in the Women’s Golf Association of Northern California (WGANC) is required. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Women’s Golf Club, please contact the Club Captain, Margie Becker.

WOMEN’S NINE-HOLE GOLF GROUP (9ER’S) Any female Member of La Rinconada Country Club is welcome to join the 9ers. Even though it is only 9 holes, the game is played legitimately with handicaps and the proper rules and courtesies required in golf. The regular play day is on Thursday mornings throughout the year. The group consists of beginners, intermediates and advanced golfers. It provides a friendly atmosphere in which to learn to be comfortable with the techniques and frustrations of the game. There are tournaments, team play competitions, exchange with other 9-hole groups, and guest days. If you are interested in becoming a member of the 9er’s, please contact the Club Captain, Margaret Ong.

MEN’S CLUB The Men’s Club sponsors a year-long Tournament of Champions (TOC) competition. TOC events are open to all male Certificated members and male spouses who have valid NCGA handicaps. The Wildcat Invitational is a three day member-guest event that provides lots of action and some memorable golf. In the Club Championship match play event, the low 16 handicap entrants play at scratch, while the other flights are handicapped. The Member-Member Tournament allows you to partner with an old friend and meet many new ones. Several of the stroke play tournaments provide the opportunity to qualify to represent La Rinconada in NCGA events. The last event of the year is the TOC Finals, where the highest point scorers for the year and winners of individual tournaments qualify to play.

SENIORS Male Certificated members and male spouses over fifty years of age are eligible to play in the La Rinconada Seniors. The Seniors play weekly events from mid-April through mid-October, typically on Thursday afternoons. Most events are exchange matches with other clubs in the area. One week we will visit clubs such as Los Altos, Almaden, Sharon Heights, Peninsula, Silver Creek, Bayonet, etc. Another week we will host their members at our club. Other events are just with La Rinconada members, such as match play or outings to courses such as Poppy Hills, Eagle Ridge and San Juan Oaks. Most events consist of lunch, 18 holes of golf, dinner and awards. The typical cost for an event is around $60. In addition, there are annual dues of $70 that cover the costs of three member-only events. The Seniors provide an opportunity to play a little competitive golf, make some new friends, and play some great golf courses. If you are interested in joining, or would like some more information, please contact Seniors President Jeff Balfus.
