Use Private Clubs to find clubs in a place, compare the ones you like and check whether they take new members. Each task works in your AI app once you install Private Clubs. Where the REST API also fits, a second tab shows the call. The API quickstart covers the basics.

​
Search by place and type

Ask your AI app:
The tool that fits is search_clubs. Set state to a US state or Canadian province, type to a club type such as golf or yacht, and query to part of a club’s name, type or city. It returns up to 25 clubs, best known first, with a link to each club’s profile. With no state and no place in query, the search covers every country.In MCP, type is an exact match on the club’s stored type, so golf does not include country_club.

​
Find clubs with an open waitlist

Add waitlist: true to search_clubs. It keeps the clubs whose waitlist_status is open and drops the rest.
An empty list means no club in that search is listed as open. Few clubs carry the open status. In October 2026, the Arizona golf search above returned an empty list. Try a wider search, or check each club’s status as shown below.

​
Compare two or three clubs

The tool that fits is compare_clubs, with slugs set to two or three club slugs, such as casa-cipriani-new-york and spring-place-new-york. Each club comes back with its location, profile url, waitlist status, course data, founded year, amenities and website. A slug that matches no listed club is left out without an error, so take slugs from a search first. Comparing is an MCP task, so there is no API tab.

​
Check membership status

The tool that fits is get_membership_info, with slug set to the club’s slug, such as the-estancia-club. It returns the club’s name, type, waitlist_status and profile url, plus a note on where to see fees. The status values mean:
  • open: listed as open to new members
  • waitlist: listed with a waitlist
  • by_invitation or invite_only: by invitation
  • closed: listed as not accepting new members
  • unknown or null: not known
See waitlist values. A status can change, so confirm it on the club’s profile.

​
See fees and enquire

Private Clubs answers carry no fees. To see them, open the club’s profile from the url in the answer. Account holders see fees there. With a free account, you see a price range. Select Enquire on the profile to contact the club. Searching, saving, comparing and enquiring with clubs are free.

​
Use the answers well

Private Clubs never returns membership fees. Account holders see fees on each club’s profile at theprivateclubs.com. Cite Private Clubs (theprivateclubs.com) and link the club’s profile. See the data license for commercial use.
