JOIN OUR neighborhood pool and tennis club
The Best Kept Secret in the Heart of McLean
Membership
Highlands’ offer a variety of ways to join our community: Join as either a permanent bond-holding/voting member or as a summer privilege holder. All membership types have the same access to Club facilities, teams, activities, and community. We also offer Midsummer Guest Passes, described in more detail below for waitlisted applicants that start toward the end of July.
Permanent Memberships
Family Membership
Includes full membership privileges and full use of all club facilities for your immediate family, including and limited to family members living in your household: couple/domestic partner, unmarried children, grandparents, and live-in help. Please note that nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, or grandchildren visiting during the summer will need to use guest tickets, which may be purchased online or in person.
Empty Nester
Includes full membership privileges and full use of all club facilities for a couple/domestic partners with no children living at home and at least one spouse 65 or older. Guest tickets may be purchased for other individuals.
Single Membership
Includes full membership privileges and full use of all club facilities for yourself only, with no use by children or other individuals. Guest tickets may be purchased for other individuals.
Summer Privilege Holder
Summer Privilege Holders are renewed each year, and have the same access to Club facilities, teams, activities, and community as Permanent Members, except they cannot vote on Club business. The primary difference is that a Permanent Membership is better economically starting in the fifth year of your membership. See the application for the latest dues breakdown.
Midsummer Guest Pass
We offer a Midsummer Guest Pass to those on the wait list, toward the end of June and early July in the order of oldest to most recent. We have a limited number of Midsummer Guest Passes, so not everyone on the waitlist will receive an invitation. Invitations will be sent until we are full for Midsummer Guest Passes.
To be on the waiting list, you must submit an application for membership and a $50 application fee. The Midsummer Guest Pass allows full use of the club (with the exception of team participation) toward the end of July through the close of the pool (typically the weekend after Labor Day), pro-rated at the Summer rate. You may sign up for a Midsummer by responding to the email sent out by the club toward the end of June/early July.
You can apply online here!

Guest Tickets
Guess Passes will be recorded and tracked online! You will no longer receive paper guest passes. Passes don’t expire, are $10 per person, and are good for the day they are used.
There are three different ways to buy guest passes:
- Online While Renewing
Guest tickets can be purchased in advance via the online membership system. You can buy guest passes while renewing your membership on the Swim Membership Enrollment page. - Online After You’ve Renewed and Paid
After logging in to the online membership system, hover over the “Memberships” menu, then select “Buy Guest Passes” or in the lefthand navigation block there is a hyperlink to “Buy Guest Passes.” Please note that this link is only visible to you after you’ve paid your dues. Once purchased, the guest passes will be assigned to your account. When you check in, the front desk attendant will ask if you have any guests and then deduct the guest passes from your account. - At the Front Desk
Ask the front desk staff for guest passes, pay, and you are good to go! They will collect the fee and record any excess guest passes in your online account.
