How much does Shinnecock Hills membership cost? Inside one of golf’s most exclusive clubs

Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton, New York, founded in 1891, is one of golf's most exclusive clubs, hosting the 2026 US Open. Membership is by invitation only and limited to approximately 300 members, with estimated initiation fees of around $250,000 and monthly dues of roughly $1,250, though the club has never officially confirmed these figures. Prospective members require sponsorship from existing members, and the club offers no public tee times, making access nearly impossible without an existing membership connection.
