We used to tell clubs that their website was how the next generation of Club Prospects were going to find them. In reality, the "next generation" is here today. More and more, prospects are doing their homework online before contacting a club regarding membership, or taking their friends' membership referrals too seriously. Maybe your prospect has been to your club before, and maybe they haven't, but in either case, your website creates an impression. It may not be the first impression, but it's an impression that your prospects (and members, for that matter) can revisit at any time.
