Events are hosted at properties like Holiday Inn Express Gastonia and The Gold Club Charlotte, with buffet, live DJ, and pool access included in the night.

Pricing for main events runs around $78 for couples and $94 for single males with prepayment required for the latter. The club hosts meet & greets at local spots like Leather & Lace Gastonia as a low-pressure intro — just mention "Pineapple" or "Camelot" at the door for free entry.

In 2012 The Estate was lost to political pressure, and in 2016 new ownership stepped in to keep the club alive rather than let it dissolve. Today Carolina Friends runs full hotel takeovers every Friday and Saturday night — entire hotels reserved exclusively for members, giving events the privacy and scale you can't get at a smaller venue.
