Founded in 1897 the Club moved to its current location in 1970 and currently has almost 1600 members in all categories. It is an extremely friendly, family centric club. Two Pete Dye designed championship golf courses are at the center of golf offerings. Access to the largest practice facility in the city, with a bentgrass short game area is included with a golf membership. Members enjoy the Olympic size swimming pool everyday for the summer season. Swim lessons, swim team, the only private club diving program in the city and synchronized swimming are all available. A large wading pool, splash ground with interactive water features and a playground are adjacent to the main pool. Twelve tennis courts give players a choice of clay or Plexipave® during the summer season. During the winter months four of the Plexipave® courts are domed, allowing for the only private club, indoor tennis experience in the area. A la carte dining is offered in both the casual Grille where dress and food are comfortable. Prime aged beef, fresh fish and tableside presentations are featured in the more formal Candlelight Room. Our award winning wine list is available in either room. Food service is also available for 3 to 350 in our banquet spaces. The Club was the site of the incredibly successful 1999 USGA Senior US Open and we look forward with great anticipation to hosting the 2017 Solheim Cup; the most exciting event in women's professional golf.
