I doubt it'd be a very big deal. I don't have a membership list of Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club (probably the most prestigious in town), but I'd assume just based upon the complexion of the community, it already has quite a few Lebanese (Lebanese are very wealthy and influential minority in OKC). I would think your hypothetical candidate wouldn't have a tough time getting in at all.

The Senior Partner of a law firm my father was a partner in once recruited him to join that Club. Dad didn't pursue it as he's more into fishing than golfing. Dad's boss was an outspoken anti-semite and racist though (despite his life-long business partner being Jewish). He's long dead though. I don't know what that says about the current membership, but at least as recently as the 80's and early 90's, I doubt a minority would have gotten a fair shake at that Club. That's rank speculation on my part though. I'm not around those people anymore and almost certainly wouldn't make the 'cut' to be considered there myself.
