Discounts Available to Join The Club at UK's Spindletop Hall

LEXINGTON, Ky. (May 16, 2016) — The University of Kentucky is proud to make available two clubs for its faculty and staff – one on campus, the Hilary J. Boone Center, and the second, larger facility, The Club at UK’s Spindletop Hall on Iron Works Pike.

Although it may not be widely known, UK faculty and staff always receive 50 percent off the initiation fee at The Club at UK’s Spindletop Hall. However, for a limited time the club is offering extra discounts this spring for faculty and staff. New members will receive an additional 33 percent off the initiation fee, but only through May 31.  

For example, the regular initiation fee for a UK family membership is $375, but with the extra discount, the initiation fee is $250. Dues for a family are $127.50 per month. Memberships are also available for singles, single-parent families, couples, seniors and more.

Some of the many benefits of a Spindletop membership for staff and faculty are:

·       Use of the mansion with versatile space for social or business events

·       Three heated swimming pools, including one with family-fun water features, a baby pool, swim and dive teams, and the Tiki Bar and Grill

·       10 tennis courts, two chipping and putting greens, pickleball and croquet courts

·       Easy access to the Legacy Trail with bike rental and storage available

·       Roxie’s upscale casual indoor and al fresco dining

·       Picnic areas and outdoor event space

·       Discounted golf opportunities at the University Club of Kentucky and other area courses

Spindletop offers another valuable perk for members. Being a part of the Association of College and University Clubs entitles Spindletop members to reciprocal privileges at nearly 80 university-related clubs across the country and around the globe.
