Membership Procedures

The owners of each lot or home in the Anthem Golf & Country Club community will receive a Social membership upon acquiring title to such lot or home. Each Social member must complete, sign and return to Club Operator a Social Member Information and Membership Agreement as a condition of using the Club Facilities.

Any person desiring to apply for Golf or Corporate membership shall submit to Club Operator a completed and signed application, a signed membership agreement, and a deposit fee (as set forth in the membership application). If a purchaser of a home or lot in the Anthem Golf & Country Club community indicates, in writing at the time of contract, that the purchaser has an interest in acquiring a Golf membership, Club Operator will reserve a Golf membership for the purchaser for a limited period of time. If the purchaser fails to submit a completed application for Golf membership within 30 days after signing a contract for the purchase of such home or lot and pay the first installment of the required initiation fee, the membership will be released and there is no guarantee that Golf membership will thereafter be available.

An application package containing the appropriate forms and a schedule of current fees is available from the Membership Director. No application shall be considered until it is complete and all required information has been submitted to Club Operator. Applications for Golf or Corporate membership shall be handled in accordance with the following procedures:

Review. Within 30 days after receiving a completed application and all required information and fees, Club Operator will review and consider the application, conduct such investigation of the applicant's credit and references as Club Operator deems appropriate, and make a determination as to whether to accept or reject the application. Club Operator reserves the right to approve or reject any application in its sole discretion, and its decision on any application shall be final. Applications for membership will be considered without regard to race, religion, creed, color, sex, national origin, physical disability or sexual preference.

Notification. If the applicant is approved for membership in the category applied for, the applicant will be notified, in writing, that the application has been acted upon favorably. If such membership is then available, the applicant shall have 5 days after the date of such notice to submit the balance of the initiation fee, unless (i) the applicant is under contract to purchase a lot or home in the Anthem Golf & Country Club community from the Community Developer, in which case the balance is due on or before close of escrow, or (ii) a different payment schedule is set forth in the applicant's membership agreement, in which case the balance shall be due in accordance with such schedule. If an application is not acted upon favorably, the Club shall so notify the applicant and the applicant must wait at least 12 months before submitting another application for Golf or Corporate membership.

Waiting List. If an applicant is approved for Golf membership but such membership is not then available, Club Operator shall notify the applicant that he or she has been placed on the waiting list and will be notified when a Golf membership becomes available. Club Operator shall retain a non-refundable deposit to hold applicant’s place on the waiting list. The applicant may at any time submit a written request to be removed from the waiting list, upon receipt of which Club Operator shall remove the applicant's name and retain the applicant's non-refundable waiting list deposit.
The waiting list for Golf membership shall be maintained in the following order of priority, with applicants having the same level of priority placed on the list on a first-come (determined on basis of date of application), first-served basis:

(1) applicants for Golf membership who purchased or are under contract to purchase a lot or home in the Community from Anthem Arizona, L.L.C. (the "Community Developer") or its affiliates and who applied for Golf membership prior to close of escrow on such lot or home; then

(2) Social members who purchased their lot or home in the Community from the Community Developer or its affiliates and who desire to upgrade to Golf membership; then

(3) any other approved applicant.

An applicant on the waiting list shall have 10 days after receiving written notice from Club Operator that a membership has become available to accept such membership by submitting to Club Operator the balance of the applicable initiation fee (as in effect at the time of submission of the applicant's application).

If an applicant fails to submit the balance of the initiation fee due within the allotted 10-day period, the applicant shall be removed from the waiting list and Club Operator shall retain the applicant's non-refundable waiting list deposit unless, within such 10-day period, the applicant submits a written request to remain on the waiting list rather than accepting the membership at such time. Upon receipt of such a request within the allotted period, the applicant's name shall be moved to the end of the waiting list (but still subject to the foregoing priorities). An applicant may elect to remain on the waiting list only once; if the applicant fails to accept the membership when next offered, Club Operator shall remove the applicant's name from the waiting list and retain the applicant's non-refundable waiting list deposit.

Issuance of Membership
Following approval of an applicant, notice to the applicant of the availability of a membership, and receipt from the applicant of the applicable initiation fee and signed membership agreement within the required time period, Club Operator shall execute the applicant's application and membership agreement, indicating its acceptance of the applicant for such membership. Such acceptance shall be subject to the applicant taking title to a lot or home in the Community if ownership of such lot or home is a condition of eligibility for the membership; however, Club Operator may, in its sole discretion, grant temporary use privileges to approved applicants who are under contract to purchase a home or lot in the Community from the Community Developer pending close of escrow on such lot or home, in exchange for payment of dues during such interim period. Club Operator may also issue membership cards to the member and all authorized users, identifying the authorized holder and the sponsoring member, if applicable, the category of membership, and the member's club account number, if any.

Terms and Conditions
All rights of members to use the Club Facilities are subject the terms and conditions set forth in a membership agreement entered into between the member and Club Operator and payment of such initiation fee, dues, and other charges as Club Operator may establish from time to time. All memberships are subject to the Membership Policies and the Rules of Anthem Golf & Country Club, as they may be amended, which set forth various policies relating to membership, management, operation, and use of the Club Facilities. Prospective members are urged to read carefully and familiarize themselves with each of these documents before making a decision to acquire a membership.
