Bartlett Country Club

What Bartlett Country Club does

Bartlett Country Club is a private, full-service country club founded in 1907 and headquartered at 32 Euclid Ave, Olean, New York. It operates an 18-hole par-70 championship golf course — host of the annual Southwestern New York – Northwest Pennsylvania Golf Amateur Championship — built in three distinct phases (1907, 1940s, 1957) with five sets of tees accommodating all skill levels. The club's amenities include a 10,000+ square foot clubhouse, two Har-Tru tennis courts, dedicated pickleball courts, a 6-lane pool (upgraded 2016), a fully stocked pro shop, and dining venues under Executive Chef Scott Hewitt featuring regional American cuisine.

The business operates on a tiered annual membership model with three escalating tiers — House (clubhouse, dining, pickleball), Social (adds pool, tennis, 6 rounds/year), and Golf (unlimited course and range access) — supplemented by transaction-based revenue from event hosting (weddings, corporate events, banquets), greens fees, F&B service, and pro shop retail. Distribution is entirely direct-to-consumer through the club's website, phone inquiries, and on-site staff, with bookings processed via ForeUp software and member management via Clubster. The club is governed by a Board of Directors with no parent company or institutional ownership, serving primarily individuals and families in the Western New York region alongside non-member event clients.

Revenue is generated through five streams: subscription membership dues, transaction-based food and beverage, event venue rentals (open to non-members), one-time pro shop sales, and usage-based greens fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and no revenue figures, funding rounds, or M&A activity are reported in the available data.
