The main club I fly at is 80 to join, and 65 a year which I think is a steal as well considering what the club has. Over half our dues go to cutting the lawn.
No crisscrossing runways. Just one big grass rolled and short cut runway. 1 pit area. 1 parking area. 1 porta potty. 1 flight shack where you can sit inside for some shade. 1 covered pavillion with a couple picnic tables and counters for food. 1 grill. No electric. No water. We live in the country so come prepared! lol.
Club is gated about 1/2 mile from the field. Only members have keys. It is on top of a large hill with ridiculous visibility. 40.00 for the year.
