Country Club of New Canaan

What Country Club of New Canaan does

Country Club of New Canaan (CCNC) is a private membership sports and recreation club operating from a single campus at 95 Country Club Road, New Canaan, Connecticut. Its amenity portfolio centers on an 18-hole championship golf course complemented by a 20-station driving range (with both natural grass and artificial hitting surfaces, a practice fairway bunker, a short game area, and a putting green), seven Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, five heated and lighted paddle courts with an enclosed paddle hut, three singles plus one doubles squash court, and a pool complex with racing lanes, a gated baby pool, a dining pavilion, an adult pool bar, and a separate camp pavilion. The clubhouse extends the offering with multiple private event venues — the Oenoke Room, Living Room, Lambert Room, and Wine Room — for weddings, luncheons, and member-hosted gatherings, with event bookings routed through General Manager Kevin Lalumiere.

The underlying technology stack is modest and off-the-shelf: the club's website and member portal run on ClubEssential's Axis Website platform, providing gated member login (member-number username with spouse variants, first-initial-plus-last-name lowercase password, first-login forced password reset), dynamic content modules, and basic site scripting. There is no proprietary software, mobile app, API, or AI/ML component referenced in the source data; the company is explicitly classified as having no app and no API.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring annual membership dues (subscription), usage-based golf cart and pull cart rental fees, and professional-services-style private event hosting in the clubhouse. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; member acquisition is direct-to-consumer and community-led, relying on local referral and word-of-mouth within the New Canaan market rather than broad marketing. Operations are supported by 11–50 employees including a General Manager (Kevin Lalumiere), an employment/member-login contact (Ali Ricciardi), an outside operations lead (Chuck Clark), and a camp coordinator (Allison Farrell). The club is privately held with no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed investor; only a single 2019 capital event of $2,000,000 with unknown investors is referenced in the data.
