Blue Mound Golf & Country Club

What Blue Mound Golf & Country Club does

Blue Mound Golf & Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and social club founded in 1903 and located on a 200-acre site in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. The club operates an 18-hole championship golf course originally designed by Seth Raynor (6,672 yards from black tees) and a 1926 Cotswold-style clubhouse built of Lannon stone. Core facilities include a 250-seat formal dining room, four private dining rooms for groups of 8-40, banquet/event capacity for up to 300 persons, one of the region's largest practice ranges with a separate bunker, chipping and putting greens, a caddie program, and a professional lesson program.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual membership dues and initiation fees, with ancillary streams from dining, private events, and the pro shop. Membership acquisition relies on personal invitations and member sponsorships rather than public sales, consistent with the private, word-of-mouth growth model. The club has historically hosted major competitive golf events, including the 1933 PGA Championship (first golf major in Wisconsin, won by Gene Sarazen), the 1940 Women's Western Open (Babe Didrikson Zaharias), and, more recently, co-hosting roles in the 2011 U.S. Amateur and the 2022 U.S. Mid-Amateur stroke-play rounds.

The club serves wealthy individuals and families across the Milwaukee metropolitan area, including Lake Country, the East Side, and western suburbs, with 51-100 employees. Operations are enabled by Jonas Club Software for member management, with no proprietary technology platform disclosed. The club is privately held with no parent company, institutional ownership, or public listing.
