What Hollyburn Country Club does

Hollyburn Country Club is a privately held, member-owned recreational country club established in 1961 in West Vancouver, British Columbia, operating on a 49-acre mountainside site in the British Properties overlooking downtown Vancouver and Burrard Inlet. The club serves approximately 7,900 members through an integrated portfolio of athletic, dining, wellness, and family-oriented services, with facilities including 25 tennis courts, 7 squash courts, 2 swimming pools, 2 ice rinks, 7 badminton courts, pickleball courts, fitness and wellness centers, child-minding (HollyVille), and dining venues. Member acquisition is gated through an application-and-waitlist process with a 70-90 day approval timeline and a multi-year admission waitlist.

Hollyburn generates revenue through five primary streams: recurring monthly membership dues across tiered categories (Social Single at $160.20/month to Corporate/Family at $448/month), one-time non-refundable entrance fees of $85,000+ GST for regular memberships, food and beverage across the Acres restaurant and H.C.C. Café plus catering and events, programming surcharges across more than 250 programs per seasonal session, and intermediate discounted memberships for dependents transitioning off parents' accounts. Underlying technology is built on Jonas Club Software for member management, reservations, and member communications.

The club is operated by a professional management team led by a CEO/General Manager, CFO, and COO with functional directors overseeing athletics, food and beverage, member experiences, people and culture, and accounting/IT. The most recent major capital initiative was the Renew '22 transformation, which delivered the 7,250-square-foot Acres restaurant and H.C.C. Café. The club is not externally owned, raises no equity funding, and does not disclose financial results.
