Descriptiontext

Woodmont Country Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1913 and located on more than 500 acres at 1201 Rockville Pike in Rockville, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. The club operates as a full-service private club serving affluent families and individuals, offering two 18-hole championship golf courses (North Course, opened 1950 and renovated by Arthur Hills in 1999 and Joel Weiman in 2018-2020; South Course, renovated fall 2023) plus a 9-hole short course called "The Loop." Non-golf amenities include an indoor racquet sports center with tennis and pickleball, an approximately 4,000-square-foot fitness and wellness center outfitted with Life Fitness, Cybex, Precor, and Peloton equipment, family and lap aquatics, and multiple dining venues (Terrace Room, Pavilion, Trophy Room, 1913 Lounge).

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: recurring membership dues and initiation fees (quote-based, not publicly disclosed), event-hosting revenue from weddings, mitzvahs, corporate events and celebrations across venues accommodating 60 to 300+ guests, and food-and-beverage sales across the on-site dining outlets. The go-to-market is direct membership sales combined with event inquiry, supported by a website and organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). The club differentiates on heritage and credentialing: it has hosted the 2020 U.S. Women's Amateur Championship and the 4th U.S. Adaptive Open (2025), with the 5th U.S. Adaptive Open scheduled for July 2026, and has earned consecutive Top 100 Golf Shop Platinum honors from the Association of Golf Merchandisers. The workforce spans roughly 51 to 250 employees (LinkedIn-disclosed band), with eight PGA professionals on staff. No revenue, parent company, or external investor information is disclosed; the club's LinkedIn indicates nonprofit organizational status consistent with a member-owned private club structure.
