The Stanwich Club

What The Stanwich Club does

The Stanwich Club is a private, members-only country club located at 888 North Street in Greenwich, Connecticut, operating a single-site integrated recreational and hospitality offering centered on its championship 18-hole golf course. The course, originally designed by William and David Gordon in 1964 and redesigned in three phases over the past 15 years by the Tom Fazio group, measures 7,445 yards (par 72, rating 76.6, slope 134) and is ranked the #1 golf course in Connecticut by Golf Digest for 2021-2022. The club has hosted marquee events including the USGA Mid-Amateur Championship, the Palmer Cup, and the Wyndham Cup, and is colloquially known as 'The Witch.'

The club's amenity stack extends well beyond golf to a first-class clubhouse overlooking Long Island Sound, a junior Olympic-size pool, tennis courts, paddle courts, and three dining venues (including a newly renovated terrace), supported by a qualified caddie program. Supporting product lines include an Online Pro Shop and a dedicated Women's Golf Program. Technology infrastructure is provided through Jonas Club Software, which powers the member portal and website. The Club is incorporated in Connecticut as The Stanwich Club, Inc., operates 51-100 employees, and is privately held with no disclosed parent company, external investors, or capital raises.

Revenue is generated through a subscription/recurring membership model consisting of initiation fees and ongoing member dues, augmented by food-and-beverage, pro shop, and ancillary amenity spend. Membership is invitation and application-based, with pricing not publicly disclosed. The club's customer base is concentrated among affluent golfing families in the Greenwich, CT region and surrounding communities, with member referrals and selective acceptance serving as the primary intake channel rather than public marketing.
