Saginaw Country Club

What Saginaw Country Club does

Saginaw Country Club (also branded "The SCC") is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1898 and headquartered at 4465 Gratiot Road in Saginaw, Michigan. It operates a single integrated property in the Saginaw Bay / Mid-Michigan region (Saginaw, Midland, Bay City), serving affluent families and professionals seeking an exclusive recreational and social lifestyle. Facilities include a privately designed 18-hole par-71 championship golf course (5,563–6,143 yards, originally designed by Tom Bendelow), a double-bay Trackman indoor golf simulator, PGA professional instruction and club-fitting services, a six-lane 25-yard competition swimming pool with toddler wading area, three tennis courts and six pickleball courts, a renovated fitness center, and three on-site dining venues (Bar1898, Club Room, and the relocated Hogan Grill & Bar). Event hosting for weddings, corporate functions, and social gatherings (up to 300 guests) and a junior program for children ages 5–17 round out the amenity set.

The business model is a private membership subscription: prospective members submit a "Membership Request" form on the website and are contacted by a Membership Director within 24–48 hours; pricing is not publicly disclosed and consists of an initiation fee plus recurring annual dues. Ancillary revenue streams include usage-based golf revenue (guest green fees, lessons at $40–$85 per half-hour, simulator usage, pro shop apparel, and club fitting), F&B across three dining venues (menu items priced $6–$38), and event/catering revenue. The club employs 11–50 staff and is led by a Club Manager (Audrey Ducharme), Executive Chef (Gary Erway), Golf Course Superintendent (Trevor May), Head Golf Professional (Chad Boyce), and additional department leads across golf, pool, tennis/pickleball, maintenance, and administration.

Distribution is direct only — membership sales, member portal (Clubhouse Online), and on-property engagement — with limited guest access (five visits per individual per summer) charged back to the sponsoring member. Marketing is concentrated on the club's own website and an active calendar of 35+ annual events (Kids Club Nights, Water Aerobics, Piano on the Patio, Seafood Extravaganza, 4th of July, Invitationals) that drive member engagement and word-of-mouth referrals; there are no third-party distribution partners, e-commerce channels, or app/SDK infrastructure.
