New Albany Country Club

What New Albany Country Club does

New Albany Country Club is a private, non-equity membership country club established in 1992 in New Albany, Ohio, approximately 12 miles northeast of downtown Columbus. The club anchors the master-planned New Albany Country Club communities and is built around a 27-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed championship golf course (debuted 1993) and a Georgian manor clubhouse designed by Jaquelin Robertson, former Dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Virginia. The club serves affluent individuals and families seeking premium golf, social, dining, fitness, racquet sports, aquatics, and event-hosting experiences, with memberships available in Golf, Social, and Dining categories across Resident, Associate, Executive, National, Senior, and Junior tiers. All memberships include the primary member, spouse, and children under age 24, can be individually or corporately owned, and do not require residency in the surrounding community.

The club's amenity portfolio is unusually broad for a single-facility operator: 27 holes of golf with 12 tee configurations plus a year-round Golf Academy; 26 racquet courts (12 clay, 2 hard, 2 grass, 2 platform, 8 pickleball) with a seasonal bubble for indoor play; four outdoor pools and one indoor pool; a 30,000-square-foot fitness center; a spa and salon; four full-service restaurants plus multiple bar concepts; full-service catering; and dedicated youth programming. Instruction is delivered by 7 PGA and LPGA professionals across golf, plus swim and dive programs.

The business model is recurring-dues-driven (annual non-equity subscriptions) supplemented by significant ancillary revenue from food and beverage across four restaurants and multiple bar outlets, and professional catering and event services for weddings, mitzvahs, galas, fundraisers, and corporate events. Go-to-market is sales-led through a dedicated Membership Office that conducts tours and direct consultations, supported by a corporate website (nacc.com) and a Cobalt Software-powered member portal. Headcount is in the 251–500 range, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
