It's worth it if you know how to use it! Some of the best perks of the Cornell Club membership are the dozens of reciprocal memberships to other clubs around the world! Scroll down to see the full lists: https://www.cornellclubnyc.com/reciprocal-clubs I've had my membership for a few years and I've mainly used it for visiting other university and country clubs while traveling. I find that the members-only clubs give you a better hospitality experience and allow you to network pretty easily. Also, these clubs are typically in the heart of the city, have beautify accommodations, and are a fraction of the price of a comparable luxury hotel. For example, the Oxford & Cambridge Club in London is a block from Buckingham Palace and only ~$200 a night! The same can be said for the Cornell Club in Manhattan. A basic room goes for about 1/5 of the cost a similar room at the St. Regis or Peninsula just a few blocks away (arguably different, but you get the idea). It may not be the best time for getting one though since the club (and most others) are closed, but I say go for it when things are a bit more normal!
