⚠️ Things to Consider

This appears to be a private country club filing as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(7), which is appropriate for social clubs. The executive compensation seems reasonable for a club of this size ($21M+ revenue). However, potential members should note this is a private club serving only paying members, not a public charity.
