How much is an Athletic Membership?
The initiation deposit for a Family Athletic Membership is $5,000. Dues are $204 + tax per month. If someone is married, it is club policy they hold a Family Membership. The initiation deposit for a Single Athletic Membership is $2,500. Dues are $132 + tax per month.

What privileges does a Social Membership provide and what is the fee to join?
A Social member has access to social facilities and programs, restaurants, and catering facilities. The initiation deposit for a Social Membership is $250. Dues for a family or single are $65 per month. Children are not included on the membership.

Is there a food and beverage minimum or other Club fees?
There is no food and beverage minimum. An additional fee is applied when a member uses services requiring an instructor or trainer, and when the tennis, squash and racquetball courts are used (see Athletic Fee Schedule). Reservations for these services are made at the Reservation desk.

How do I terminate a membership?
We require 30 days written notice signed by both the primary member and their spouse, if applicable. The initiation deposit is refunded to the member 30 years from the day they join (not upon termination). There are a few exceptions to this rule (see refund description in manual). A Corporate Membership must be terminated by the company and not by the employee designated to use the membership. A Corporate Designate Membership is transferable to another employee within the company for a fee of $150 (regular memberships are non-transferable).

What are Club hours?
Club hours are Monday-Friday, 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday, 7:45 a.m. to 9 p.m.

How do I join? Do I need to make an appointment?
No appointment is needed unless you want a tour of the facility. Tours are by appointment only. To join, simply fill out an application and attach the initiation deposit to the application. Return the application and deposit to our Membership Services office. There is a 72-hour approval process. The General Manager approves all applications.

What are your guest policies?
You may bring two guests per month to the Club. The fee is $16 for an adult and $8 for children 12 and under. The same guest may come to the Club with you only once a month. The member must be present at the Club with the guest. Day guest passes are available at the Athletic Desk. Extended guest passes (for up to two weeks) are arranged in the Membership Services Office. Only non-resident guests (residing beyond a 50-mile radius from the Club) qualify for an extended guest pass. To extend the extended guest pass, permission must be obtained from the General Manager.

Is the Bellevue Club Hotel open to the public?
Yes. The hotel is open to the public. Hotel guests have access and use of the entire facility. Bellevue Club members receive a hotel discount. If members make a reservation for someone, they will receive the corporate rate. Hotel rates are lower on the weekend, due to business travel during the week.

What type of childcare do you offer?
Childcare is offered for children from birth to 6 years of age. Hours are Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-7:30 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m.-1:30 p.m. and is closed on Sunday. Fees are $7.50 per hour (under 3 years of age) and $6.50 per hour (over 3 years of age) with a two hour maximum. While children are in childcare, a parent must remain at the Club. We also offer Kids Camp for children 3 to 6 years of age who are potty trained. Kids Camp is open Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m. to noon. Children enrolled in Kids Camp do art projects, learn basic sport fundamentals, play games, listen to stories and finish with a swim in the Club pool. We also offer Kids Camp Express, which skips the swimming portion of regular Kids Camp. Kids Camp Express is open Monday-Saturday, 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. To sign-up for Kids Camp or Kids Camp Express, please go to the Athletic Desk. For additional youth activities and pricing, please refer to the Athletic Programs pamphlet.

Can I add a non-family member to my membership?
We allow live-in nannies, exchange students, foster children and elderly dependent parents to be added to memberships, if they meet our requirements (see form for requirements and fees).

Can I add my significant other to my membership?
Yes. We have a petition form that allows you to add a qualified individual to your membership provided that your membership is at family status. We need the form to be notarized and there is a $150 fee that must be paid when you add the individual onto your membership. If you do not have family status you may still add a qualified individual to your membership as long as you pay the additional initiation money to change your status to family.

What is a non-resident membership?
To qualify for a non-resident membership you must live and work at least 50 miles from the Club. We require two forms of proof, either a driver’s license or voter registration card, along with a utility bill or other bill with your address on it. If you hold a residence within 50 miles of the Club you do not qualify as a non-resident member.

What are my options if I will be gone from the Club for an extended period of time?
To qualify for inactive status you must be at least 100 miles away from the Club for a full year. The fee is $25 a month, with no access to the Club. If you are going to be away from the Club for several months, we can convert an Athletic Membership to a Social Membership for no fee. However, to transfer your membership back to an Athletic Membership, a $150 fee is charged.

How do I obtain a locker and how much does it cost?
Half lockers are $13.50 per month and $28 per month for a full locker. To obtain a locker, please go to the Membership Services office. You will be required to select an available locker, sign a release form, and receive your locker combination. These procedures are subject to change.
