Prospective Members can apply by mail. The $25 application fee is required, along with payment for annual dues.

The application link at the bottom of this page provides a downloadable PDF of the New Member Application to print, complete, and mail to Penn Dutch Sportsmen’s Club. Alternatively, you can pick up an application from the Clubhouse and follow the same mail-in process.

New Member Applications will be submitted for approval by the Voting Members at the next monthly meeting after receipt of the application. By signing the New Member Application, you agree to abide by the By-Laws and Rules and Regulations of the Club, and that violations of such may be grounds for dismissal, without remuneration.

Currently, there are no restrictions on new memberships; however, a Prospective Member may be denied membership if a known history of dismissal from another sportsmen’s club for significant conduct or safety concerns is expressed to the Voting Members at the monthly meeting where their application is considered. Prospective Members do not require sponsorship by a Current Member, but all new applications must be approved by the Voting Members.

If membership is approved and an email address was provided on the application, you will receive an email advising you of approval. The email will instruct you to attend an upcoming Orientation Meeting where you will receive your new membership card. The Orientation Meeting will introduce new members to all aspects and activities of the club, all rules, regulations, and most importantly, the expectations for using the facilities in a safe and responsible manner. Orientation Meetings will be offered on dates provided upon approval. Reservations are not needed; just show up at the designated time.

Annual Member Dues are $50.00. All memberships run from January 1st through December 31st.

Renewal Dues are $50.00 for annual members and $10.00 for junior members. For renewals, we start accepting payments on November 1st, and members have until December 31st to pay their annual fee. If payment is not received by December 31st, their gate card is turned off. They then have until March 15th to submit payment in order for the gate card to be reactivated. If not paid by March 15th, they lose their spot and must apply as a new member.

Current Members may log in to our website to renew online or download a PDF of the Renewal Application, print it, complete it, and mail it to Penn Dutch Sportsmen’s Club, postmarked by December 31st.

Once accepted, new members can attend the next available orientation meeting, but will not receive their gate card and membership card until attending.

Checks returned from the bank for any reason will be returned to the Member and will require the Member to pay the bank service fee in addition to the original dues amount. Payment must then be resubmitted by certified check or money order.
