Yes!

I belong to two, total annual dues $25. That's a bargain.

Many clubs have slow and easy rides for beginners and nonhammerheads. Good clubs will tell you if the rides are swept or not.

I use club rides for a few reasons. They introduce me to new routes and areas. They push me a bit. Sometimes you meet nice new people, and then you get to crush their souls as you grind them to dust into the road, laughing at them over your shoulder.

The last sentence was just a joke.

One caution is that almost all clubs have a hammerhead wannabe racer ride where they really will drop you in a heartbeat if you can't keep up. Be sure you know if any given ride is like that. It can be a bad experience to be dropped on an unfamiliar road without a gps or a cue sheet because you didn't think you would need them.
