Visiting another member club

A letter, a phone call, a welcome.

Each of the clubs below has a reciprocal arrangement with The Thames Club. Most welcome members for dining, lodging, or short visits — terms vary by club, and many require an introduction letter from our office before you arrive. We're glad to make the call.

Reach out at least a few days before you travel. We'll confirm the club is expecting you, send a letter on Thames Club letterhead if needed, and pass along anything useful — dress code, lunch hours, whether they take walk-ins.

Request an introduction letter

Call (959) 264-2733 and ask for Jennifer at the Club office, or email thamesclub.nl@gmail.com. Please include the club name, the dates of your visit, and the names of anyone traveling with you.

If you're not sure whether a particular club is on the list, just ask — reciprocity arrangements change, and the office tracks updates as they happen.
