Doylestown Country Club Lowers Entry Fees By $12K

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The cost to join the Doylestown Country Club is going down, officials there announced this week.

Redeemable Certificates of Membership (the cost to become a member) have been reduced from $17,000 to $5,000 after the membership recently voted to adopt the change, the club announced.

Prospective new proprietary members can now join the club by purchasing a Redeemable Certificate of Membership for $5,000. There are maximum of 300 proprietary members. This class of members are the equity owners of DCC.

Club leadership said the entry price point of $17,000 "severely hampered" the club's ability to attract new members.

“We are confident that this action will enable us to attract the new members that we need to achieve full membership and insure the long-term financial viability of DCC” said Jim Bartow, Doylestown Country Club president.

There are some other new changes at the club: Travis Deibert, a Doylestown native, has been recently hired as the club's head golf professional. Deibert was previously the head golf professional at The Ridge at Back Brook in Ringoes, NJ. He has previously worked at Commonwealth GC and Lehigh Country Club.

Doylestown Country Club is the oldest private club in Bucks County. It was founded in 1916. In addition to the golf course, the club features dining, swimming, and a clubhouse for banquets and events.
