Clube de Campo de São Paulo

What Clube de Campo de São Paulo does

Clube de Campo de São Paulo is a private members-only country club founded in 1937, located on a 1.2 million m² site with 200,000 m² of preserved Atlantic Forest on the banks of the Guarapiranga reservoir, 25 km from Avenida Paulista in São Paulo, Brazil. The club operates as an integrated recreational property offering five core sports — golf (18-hole, 6,089-yard course), equestrian, nautical (sailing, rowing, wakeboard), tennis, and football — plus beach tennis, pickleball, fitness facilities, heated pools, 24 hiking trails, and a wildlife reserve hosting 290 species. Supporting amenities include 7 restaurants and bars, chalet accommodations, and event venues (a 750-person central hall, a 180-person event room, and an 88-person auditorium) for corporate and social functions.

The business model is a closed-loop subscription recreation club. Revenue is generated through recurring membership dues (family categories, billed annually), food and beverage across 7 F&B outlets, corporate and social event hosting (rentals + catering), sports instruction (golf, tennis, sailing, equestrian, football, beach tennis), and overnight chalet rentals. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer application through the membership department, with a dedicated corporate events sales team for B2B venue bookings. The club operates a digital member portal (Meu Clube, launched 2020) for financial statements, accommodation reservations, and an electronic scheduling system for ancillary services.

Governance is member-controlled via a Conselho Deliberativo (Board of Directors) and a Diretoria Executiva (Executive Board), with Roberto Oliveira de Lima appointed Diretor Presidente for the 2025-2026 term. The club is independently held with no parent company, no external investors, and no disclosed funding rounds. The customer base is primarily high-income São Paulo families seeking nature-based recreation, with a secondary corporate events revenue layer.
