Riverside Golf & Country Club

What Riverside Golf & Country Club does

Riverside Golf & Country Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1925 and located at 8105 Northeast 33rd Drive in Portland, Oregon. The club operates an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course designed by H. Chandler Egan, ranked among Golf Digest's top 125 Classic Courses. Beyond golf, the facility includes a clubhouse with multiple dining venues (Riverside Pub 21+, upstairs clubhouse and lounge, Fireside Lounge, balcony dining overlooking the 18th hole), an outdoor pool, and event spaces accommodating 10-250 guests for weddings, corporate outings, and private celebrations.

The business model is membership-driven across six tiers: Regular (full access with certificate of ownership and voting rights), Intermediate (ages 21-39 with three sub-brackets transitioning to Regular at 40), Social with Golf (12 rounds per year plus practice facilities), Social (clubhouse and pool only, 12-month minimum), Non-Resident (100+ miles from Portland), and Corporate (with designated A-player tee-time preference). Revenue is diversified across recurring membership dues, usage-based greens fees, transaction-based dining, and professional services for private events and tournaments.

The club operates within an extended geographic ecosystem through reciprocal partnerships with 12 named private clubs across Oregon and Washington (Astoria, Canterwood, Illahe Hills, Rainier, Salishan, Yakima, and others), ClubCorp's Invited Clubs Network (500+ clubs nationwide), the OpenRounds booking platform (425+ club partners), and the $50/month Play Away Program. The club is staffed by 101-250 employees under a member-elected board, with operating leadership including a PGA Associate Director of Instruction (Nick Huff) and a Food & Beverage Manager (Moises Sanchez). The club uses Jonas Club Software for management, ForeTees (Club Central) for dining reservations, and Trackman technology for instruction.
