Find out first if there are any more major renovations in the near future that may cause your yearly fees to rise, if those costs get passed onto members. Usually a board member can provide that advice in detail.
Find out if yearly fees are all due at once or if they can be paid in increments. Usually those fees are lost by year end if not used up. If for some reason you can't use your time there, it may be wasted money.
You like golf so check the schedule for when you can play. This may sound weird but many clubs have events scheduled several days a week, so just pulling up expecting to play and not being able to may be a disappointment you can avoid.
That was the main reason I chose not to join a private club last year. When I found out their were men only days, women only days but women had to play tournament rules in randomly picked teams, certain times I could play provided I give 72 hours notice,...Yesh. So I dropped the idea, saved myself the 30k joining fee and all the extra nonsense, and play where I want, when I want.
One more. You are probably familiar with the membership but do you like them or what they represent. I ask because the other reason I bailed on a private membership was because the people thought they were the cat's ass of all refined living. Snotty, pompous wanna be elitist snobs who incidentally,..only get out when they go to the club.
Not really my type. If I wanted to spend time with posers, I would hang out in clothing stores with the mannequins. Probably more interesting (joke)
Good luck. Hope that helps
