Understanding the Value of Hampshire Country Club Membership

Nestled in the picturesque Blue Ridge Mountains at 3,000 feet elevation, Hampshire Country Club offers an exclusive retreat for those seeking a refined mountain lifestyle. As you consider joining our community, understanding the investment required is an essential part of your decision-making process. This guide provides a clear overview of our 2025 membership structure, associated costs, and the exceptional value that comes with becoming part of our club family. With 1,450 acres of natural beauty and over four decades of tradition since our founding in 1980, Hampshire membership represents not just access to premium amenities, but entry into a community where lasting memories and connections are formed.

Membership Categories and Their Associated Costs

Hampshire Country Club offers several membership categories designed to accommodate different preferences and lifestyles. Each category provides varying levels of access to our championship golf course, wellness facilities, dining venues, and social events.
