Fairwood Golf and Country Club

What Fairwood Golf and Country Club does

Fairwood Golf & Country Club is a private, member-based country club founded in 1967 and located at 17070 140th Avenue SE in Renton, Washington. Its core asset is an 18-hole, Bill Teufel-designed, par 71 tree-lined golf course accompanied by a practice facility with driving range, large practice green, and short game area. The club has, over time, expanded into a full-family recreational platform: a newly remodeled clubhouse with floor-to-ceiling windows and multiple dining outlets, a state-of-the-art fitness center with group classes and yoga, and what it describes as the newest and largest pool complex in Washington state — a heated eight-lane junior Olympic-sized pool plus a separate kiddie pool. Ancillary amenities include The Wood Shop (a TrackMan-powered indoor golf simulator with an attached Green Room), a pro shop, PGA/LPGA instruction, a competitive Barracudas swim team, a KE Summer Camp, massage services, and banquet/event facilities for weddings and corporate functions.

The business operates a tiered subscription membership model with five distinct products: Owner Membership (full access plus voting rights and Troon Prive global benefits), Young Executive Membership (ages 21-39, full facility access), Clubhouse Social Membership (social events with limited golf), Swim & Fitness Membership (gym and pool, currently waitlisted), and Summer Swim Membership (seasonal). Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: prospective members contact Membership Director Mandy Cheney for tours and join waitlists via the fairwood.org website, with marketing supported by a monthly e-newsletter (Cotton Top 10) and the Troon referral channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The affiliate relationship with Troon — the world's largest golf management company — extends utility to Owner Members via the Troon Prive program and represents the club's primary external strategic partnership.

Revenue is overwhelmingly recurring, generated from membership dues across the five tiers and supplemented by F&B, event hosting, golf shop retail, lessons/clinics, and incidental fees. Operational management is in place across all core functions (General Manager Jordan S. Pitre, CCM-certified; PGA Head Professional Sam Smith; Executive Chef Ryan Hatcher; Greens Superintendent Jon Frederick; Head Coach & Aquatics Manager Richard Siebel). The organization supports 51-100 employees, is non-profit and privately held, does not publish financials, and operates exclusively from its single Renton campus with no geographic expansion signaled.
