Olympia Country & Golf Club

What Olympia Country & Golf Club does

Olympia Country & Golf Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1917 and operating on a 99-acre waterfront property along Butler Cove in Olympia, Washington. Following the 2017 death of sole owner Dr. Angela Bowen, members organized as OCGC LLC in February 2021 to acquire the club from her estate, transitioning ownership into a member-governed structure. Operations are led by General Manager Thomas Kollasch with a small management team spanning membership, finance, culinary, golf, and grounds functions.

The club's core offerings include an 18-hole golf course (expanded from 9 holes in 1958), three pickleball courts (two covered), a swimming pool, a fitness center, an on-site restaurant (Terrace on the Green), a pro shop, and event hosting for weddings and private functions. The technical surface is conventional hospitality and recreational infrastructure — there is no proprietary technology, platform, or data product disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring membership dues across family, single, junior, and social tiers, supplemented by ancillary streams from F&B, pro shop merchandise, PGA-led instruction, and event bookings. Event hosting has been opened to non-members without requiring a member sponsor, broadening the addressable customer pool beyond the dues-paying base. Pricing and membership terms are not publicly disclosed; prospective members engage the membership director directly.
