Quechee Club

What Quechee Club does

Quechee Club is a private, member-owned recreational lifestyle community and golf destination operated by the Quechee Lakes Landowners Association (QLLA), a Vermont nonprofit incorporated in February 1970. The club serves more than 1,400 residents and visitors across a 6,000-acre campus in Quechee, Vermont, offering a unified portfolio of four-season amenities: two Geoffrey Cornish-designed 18-hole championship golf courses (Highland and Lakeland), Ski Quechee (13 trails, 100 skiable acres, 650 ft vertical drop, 100 acres of snowmaking), a year-round racquet sports complex (tennis, POP, pickleball, platform tennis, squash), a fitness and aquatics center, Lake Pinneo (a 52-acre recreation lake), 10+ miles of cross-country ski trails, and multiple dining venues. The technology backbone is Northstar Technologies' club management software, which powers member login, community information, reservations, and the member mobile app; no proprietary technology or AI capabilities are disclosed.

The business model combines automatic equity membership granted to QLLA property owners with public-access revenue streams. Primary revenue includes recurring membership dues (paid by property owners), non-equity Associate Memberships (12-month, 24-month maximum) for non-residents, ski season passes and daily lift tickets (Ski Quechee is open to the general public), food and beverage across multiple venues, recreation and activity fees (lessons, camps, equipment rentals, lake passes), and retail from golf and racquet pro shops. Pricing examples include Family Ski Season Passes at $925-$1,200 and All Access Winter Passes for renters at $2,472-$2,884. Distribution combines direct sales (Membership Director, realtor partnerships), self-serve online (pass purchases, reservations), and channel partnerships with 9 preferred inns and hotels in the Upper Valley region. QLLA Charities, Inc. operates separately as a 1980-founded nonprofit that has raised millions for Dartmouth Health Children's (CHaD) through annual golf and gala events. The club employs 200+ people across full-time and seasonal roles.
