How Much Does it Cost to Join the Prineville Chess Club?

Membership is simple, affordable, and low-pressure.

Annual Membership Fees

  • $10 for Crook County residents
  • $15 for those living outside Crook County

This small annual fee helps cover the cost of boards, pieces, clocks, room use, and other club expenses.

First-time visitors and occasional players can come and play for free. Visit, play some chess, and become a member when you're ready.
