Private Clubs Calgary
In YYC, here is the quick run down on what to expect from private clubs Calgary:
First, the background situation of public infrastructure as it relates to recreational clubs in yyc. Basically, government in 2014 is placing a disproportionate amount of infrastructure investment in the exurbs. Large public recreation facilities are being built where the land is less expensive and developers have sprawled at tax payer’s expense. This basically means that if you want to live in the deep suburbs and spend lots of time commuting, you too can access great facilities at public prices with all the exurb inhabitants. Any sports facility near the centre of the city is fairly old.
Second, there are historically two types of private clubs. Those for recreation and clubs for “doing business” in Calgary. All of these private clubs, except for the Be Bunker project are old, fairly homogenous in membership, and representative of “yesterday’s” values. Some of these operate golf courses.
The Glencoe is located in the SW, in the flood plain next to the Elbow River a short drive South of downtown YYC. A member recently said: “The club is reasonably nice, good machines. Great place for families, and more of a sense of community there, since you usually know other members. The wait list is about 7-10 years long to get full member privileges (unless you marry in).”
Here is what another person said about the Petroleum club: “More “deals” are likely done at the Petroleum club, a private dining club downtown.”
Another Calgary local mentioned “Calgary Winter Club is something like $35k initiation and the Glencoe club is way higher (if they even let you in). I could build a sweet home gym for that, but I guess there is the social aspect as well. I’m sure a ton of deals are done at the Glencoe.”
A Winter Club member also related their experience with the services: “They just finished a ton of major renovations, including a larger fitness area, a big running track, a climbing wall, and a new squash court. The pool is usually quiet, the staff is great, and the facilities in general are awesome. The only downsides would be the poorly designed rink, which doesn’t allow real pucks, and the mediocre food at the cafe.”

Next Generation Clubs
Why choose a membership club in Calgary vs. a public facility or no club at all? This can be answered by looking at two factors: First, you should “get what you pay for” and Second, you gain access to a network that can help you in life. It should also be mentioned that private clubs are often also investment opportunities. When you are searching for private Clubs in Calgary, you will not find much selection or new concepts that are now expanding in the rest of the world. If you are looking for a Calgary sports club or what is sometimes referred to as a recreational club make sure you decide on what specific sports you will pursue. However, private member clubs that provide a complete set of services from family entertainment to business networks will likely be the best choice for overall quality of life. Be Bunker is a new private membership club in Calgary with this focus.
