Glendale Country Club

What Glendale Country Club does

Glendale Country Club is a fully member-owned private country club founded in the early 1920s, operating from 13440 Main Street in Bellevue, Washington. Its core product is an 18-hole championship golf course stretching 6,663 yards with a slope rating of 138 and nine USGA-rated tee configurations, supported by a covered driving range, practice green, a two-acre short game area, and a full-service pro shop carrying Callaway, Titleist, TaylorMade, Sun Mountain, Johnnie O, Straight Down, Kinona, and Sun Ice. The club has hosted 11 State Opens, and its instruction is delivered by six PGA professionals including Director of Golf Mike Montgomery and Director of Instruction & Player Development Jack Kelly.

The amenity stack extends well beyond golf to include clubhouse dining under Chef Fernando Quintero (tenured since 2012), a 25-meter seasonal swimming pool with lessons, and event venues — notably The Palmer Room with capacity for 250 guests, plus the Pavilion, Front Lawn, Board Room, and Meeting Room. The operating platform is Jonas Club Software, which underpins the website, member management, and back-office operations.

Revenue is generated principally from recurring monthly membership dues across three tiers: Proprietary (full golf/social/pool, capped at 400 voting owning members), Associate (ages 21–35 at one-quarter initiation and 50% of dues until age 36, non-voting), and Social (dining and pool only, non-voting). Secondary revenue streams include on-site dining, event hosting and catering (weddings, corporate, private parties), and pro shop retail, with pricing details kept private and inbound handled by General Manager Clint Whitney via phone and email. The customer base is affluent eastside-Bellevue families and individuals, and all sales are conducted direct-to-member through tours and inquiry funnels, with member referrals as a key pipeline source.
