No, "final" does not usually have the meaning of elite. It is called a "final club" here because it typically refers to the club that elite men could join during their last year in university, hence the term "final". "Final clubs" were historically a social club for guys during college, but the word "final"doesn't have anything to do with "elite" and instead refers to the last or the end.
