Gatekeepers of Billionaire Island: Indian Creek's Exclusive Club Won't Accept Walk-Ins

On Miami’s Indian Creek Island, joining the Indian Creek Country Club isn’t bought with mansions alone: candidates must be nominated by a current member and approved by a 15‑person board (75% yes), with an initiation fee around $200,000 and annual dues about $20,000; there’s no waiting list or easy entry, and the club’s 18‑hole Flynn-designed course sits amid a private billionaire enclave of roughly 300 residents and is home to mansions of Bezos and others.
