2024 CME Group Tour Championship: How much does it cost to be a member at the Tiburón Golf Club? LPGA Tour

The LPGA Tour reaches its finale this weekend with the final tournament to the Race to the Globe series, the CME Group Tour Championship. The season-ending tournament will be played at the exclusive Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida.

The club boasts two championship courses - Gold and Black - which were designed by two-time Open Championship winner Greg Norman. The name ‘Tiburón' is the Spanish word for shark and is a nod to Norman’s nickname ‘Great White Shark’.

This week’s LPGA Tour action will be played at the Gold Course. Opened in 1998 it is the older of the two courses at the semi-private golf club. The club is part of the Tiburón gated community but the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples is also located on the property.

How much is Tiburón Golf Club membership?

The exclusive club is limited to just 350 members, with membership available both to Tiburón communities residents and to non-residents.

Local real estate expert Naples Golf Guy has found that Medallion Golf members are required to pay a $185,000 initiation fee to join the club. Beyond that, members also stump up $14,675 per year in annual Golf dues.

Fancy joining the club but not really into golf? A social membership will cost a $40,000 initiation fee and $5,723 in annual social dues. There are also food and beverage minimums that may apply, requiring members to spend certain amounts in the various on-site restaurants, bars and hotels.

Two months after Tiburón hosts the final event of the 2024 LPGA Tour, the world’s best male golfers will be in town for the third event of the 2025 PGA Tour. Reigning champions Stephen Ames will look to defend his title at the Chubb Classic, played at Tiburón’s Gold Course.
