Assuming the $11k membership fee can recover back later when sell membership.. can consider if the $124 monthly fee is worth based on your usage.  Some pple buy membership but only visit few times a year. If u visit few times a month maybe worth it lor.

Can guaranteed when sell off the membership later without much loss?

I have a country club membership. I find it is mostly good for retirees to go there to meet friends and pass time. 

Atas retirees go to country club to meet friends and pass time? Poor retirees go to hawker centre/void deck to meet friends and pass time? Lol.

If it is a proprietor's owned club, stay away. If it is a member's club, can join.

Ask yourself. How often will you go to Sentosa after the initial thrill wears off? FYI, you can rent rooms at this Sentosa Yacht Club  as a member of public. 

My own experience is I go to clubs that are convenient to go and nearest to my home. When I was NSRCC member for 10 years, I went there like 4 times a year because far. Despite me having a car. Now, I go to my clubs 3X a week even just to eat, read newspaper or to jio a friend for coffee. Because my present clubs are 10 mins and 5km away.  

Singapore Recreation Club, Chinese Swimming Club and Singapore Swimming Club are good sports clubs to join at reasonable prices when buy from market. NUSS is also good if you have a degree from any university. If sea, swimming, stay in a room by the sea to relax is your thing, check out Changi Beach Club at Changi Point. 

Yeah my friend plays table tennis there at SSC. Even though he doesn't n't stay in the east anymore.

Wait long long.

Also important is,it is a Member's Club.?That means Members have a Rights to Vote..Don't like Pines Club & Raffles Town Club..Members could end up with nothing if the Club Close Down.

Please check for $11,000 the Club left how many more Years...If you just like to relax,join Singapore Recreation Club,buy a Membership at $5,000,add $2,500 Renewal,& you can enjoy a full 30 Years.

not sure of the exact current status of SRC but all clubs function pretty much the same and at the mercy of the govt. but of course if you join those which have many cabinet ministers and senior govt officials or prominent members of society then quite safe.the likes of SICC, TMCC should be rather safe as i'm sure they will not have policies to shoot themselves.

look what happened to the likes of Raffles, Keppel, Jurong, Warren (still around but kenna chased off)
