Ozaukee Country Club

What Ozaukee Country Club does

Ozaukee Country Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1922, located on a 156-acre site in Mequon, Wisconsin in the Milwaukee metropolitan area. The club operates an 18-hole championship golf course designed by William Langford and Theodore Moreau (par 70, approximately 6,700 yards), alongside a clubhouse, dining facilities, an aquatics center, and event spaces. Membership is invitation-only and capped, requiring sponsorship from three current members, and reached its 289-voting-member threshold by 1930.

The club serves a defined membership base of individuals and families from the greater Milwaukee region, with tiered membership categories (Voting, Junior ages 21-39, Social, and Dining ages 55+) designed to retain members across life stages. Revenue is generated from recurring membership dues, golf operations, food and beverage, event hosting, and aquatics. Technology infrastructure consists of a CMS-based member portal and ForeTees integration for tee-time and caddie management.

Governance is member-owned, with no external private equity or venture capital involvement. The club has historically hosted notable events, including the 1929 Western Open, and is the first Wisconsin club to receive Audubon Society full certification and a recipient of the Distinguished Clubs Award. Recent strategic activity has centered on the 2020 Vision capital plan, clubhouse renovations, the aquatics expansion, and lifecycle-based membership tier expansion.

Product overview

Ozaukee Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and social club founded in 1922, offering a single integrated hospitality service rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product is the championship golf course, supplemented by venue/event rental services and youth programming. Membership tiers (Voting, Junior, Social, Dining) gate access to different combinations of facilities including the 18-hole golf course, aquatic center, dining venues, and event spaces. The Junior Golf Program, Caddie Program, and youth activities (Kid's Club, Camp Oz, swim team) are ancillary services targeting families with children. The club generates revenue primarily through membership dues and day-use/activity fees rather than product sales.
