The Club at ArrowCreek: membership cost, courses and selling

At a glance

What does membership at The Club at ArrowCreek cost?

There's no public price. We checked the club's membership pages (Membership, Become a Member, Full, Sport and Social) on October 21, 2026, and none of them lists an initiation fee or monthly dues. A banner on the courses page offered three months of free dues for joining by July 1, again with no amounts. Figures you find on third-party sites aren't the club's own, so treat them as unconfirmed until the club repeats them to you.

That gap matters more to you as a seller than it does to a buyer. If a guessed club cost ends up in your listing or your buyer's spreadsheet, it can be wrong in either direction, and it was never yours to quote. The cleaner move is to give the buyer the source and let the club answer.

How to ask the club for current rates

Prices come from the club itself: use the contact form on its membership pages, or call the Membership Director at (775) 460-4831, the number listed on the Full Membership page. Ask for the initiation fee and the monthly dues for each category you're weighing, and anything billed on top. Get the answer in writing with a date, because there's no published schedule to check it against later.

What the club says it doesn't charge

The club advertises no assessments and no food and beverage minimums. Those are two of the extra charges a buyer comparing private clubs will ask about, so it helps to know the club's own position. An advertisement isn't a contract, though: the membership agreement is where to confirm both.

Is the club part of the ArrowCreek HOA?

No. The HOA's welcome packet says it directly: membership at the Club at ArrowCreek is separate from the ArrowCreek HOA. Every owner pays HOA assessments, $392 a month in 2026, and those dues fund the gatehouse, private roads, snow removal and the Residents' Center. They don't pay for golf, and the club bills its own members. Our breakdown of ArrowCreek HOA dues and rules covers the association side in full.

One consequence for your sale: a buyer who wants pools and a gym already gets them through the HOA's Residents' Center. The club is a second, optional layer, and it's priced separately.

The Legend and the Challenge: ArrowCreek's two courses

The club has two private 18-hole courses, and the HOA's welcome packet calls the pair Northern Nevada's only 36-hole private country club. Each course has six sets of tees.

The Legend, designed by Arnold Palmer

The Legend opened on August 25, 1999. According to the HOA, ground broke on the club in the fall of 1996 and the first competitive rounds were played in 1999, so the Legend is the course that came with the community's early years.

The Challenge, by Fuzzy Zoeller and John Harbottle

The club places the Challenge at the base of the Sierra Nevada. It doesn't state the year the course opened, and the outside sources we found disagree, so we've left the date out until the club confirms it.

Membership categories and the referral rule

The club lists six categories: Golf (its Full membership), Sport, Social, Corporate, Junior Executive and Executive Pathway. The first fork is golf or no golf.

Golf, Sport and Social

Full membership includes the courses. Sport membership covers everything the club offers except golf, and Social covers dining and social events. So a buyer who'd use the pool deck, the fitness classes and pickleball but not the courses has a category below Full, priced on request like the rest.

Corporate, Junior Executive and Executive Pathway

The club names these three but doesn't set out their terms on the pages we checked. Ask the Membership Director what each one includes and who qualifies before you repeat anything about them to a buyer.

Why every application starts with a referral

The club says its approval process always begins with a referral from a member. A buyer who's new to the area isn't shut out: the club's Ambassadors will offer to meet them and find a sponsor. It does mean the timing of membership is the club's, not yours, and it can't be written into your purchase contract.

How many members are there?

Golf.com reported in 2022 that membership had fallen to about 300 at its low point and was above 800 by then. That's the most recent public count we found; the club doesn't post one.

How the club reached its current ownership

ArrowCreek began as Southwest Pointe, developed by Southwest Pointe Associates with the Nell J. Redfield Trust, and its original CC&Rs are dated October 15, 1997. The golf club was part of that plan from the start. Its ownership has changed more than once since then.

Bankruptcy in the mid-2010s

The club went through bankruptcy. A 2018 Washoe County planning filing says a group of ArrowCreek residents bought it out of bankruptcy in 2015 to keep the course and facilities maintained, while Golf.com dates a takeover by about 50 local investors to 2014. The sources differ on the year, so we give both.

The Conrads, Troon and the renovation

Ray and Jeanne Conrad, members since 2014, bought the club in 2018. In 2020 they brought in Troon to run operations, and members get Troon Privé benefits. The club puts its renovation and expansion at $65 million (a 2022 release said $60 million). Phase one in 2020 added a back-yard area with bocce, a pavilion and a 25,000 square foot pool deck. Phase two nearly doubled the clubhouse, and Golf Inc. named it the 2022 Clubhouse of the Year in its private clubhouse renovation category.

What's in the 42,000 square foot clubhouse?

The club's dining includes Tony's, BeeBee's Cafe, the INQ cocktail lounge, Drift + Dwell by the pool and a grab-and-go by the range. The Vista, its banquet and event space, opened in 2022. Beyond dining, the club lists an indoor golf performance center, a golf shop, a fitness center with spin, Pilates and yoga classes, pool complexes, an indoor pickleball facility with four courts and bocce courts.

For a seller, the clubhouse is a nearby facility you can describe accurately. Your buyer doesn't get access to it by closing on your house, and your listing should read that way.

What club membership means when you sell an ArrowCreek home

The club's separation from the HOA and its referral rule shape what you can say and promise. Here's how that plays out.

Membership doesn't come with the deed

Buying your home gives a buyer HOA membership and Residents' Center access. It doesn't give them golf. Describe the club as a neighbor of the home rather than a feature of the lot: "36 holes of private golf at The Club at ArrowCreek, membership separate and by referral" is accurate, while a line suggesting golf comes with the purchase isn't.

If you're a member, read your own agreement

The club doesn't publish what happens to a membership when a member sells and moves. Before you list, ask the Membership Director how resignation works in your category, whether dues continue after you leave and whether there's a quicker path for your buyer to apply. Put the answer in writing for the buyer's agent.

What to tell buyers who ask about golf

Give them the facts on this page and the club's phone number, and let the club quote. That keeps your statements to things you know. Our step-by-step plan for selling in ArrowCreek covers the disclosure form and the HOA paperwork in order.

Golf-course lots and real estate signs

If your lot sits on a course, the HOA allows two approved real estate signs, one facing the course and one facing the street, where other lots get one. The HOA's sign and open-house rules are set out with the rest of the ArrowCreek HOA rules for sellers.

For a price, estimate your ArrowCreek home's value first, then compare it with the south Reno market figures for ZIP 89511; the ArrowCreek home values and selling overview ties them together. I can help you word the club section of your listing so it stays accurate.
