Whitetail Club

What Whitetail Club does

Whitetail Club is a premier private community located in McCall, Idaho, operating as Whitetail Club Realty, LLC and owned by Joe Scott of the Scott family, whose McCall roots date to the 1950s and whose related Shore Lodge resort has operated since 1948. The community spans over 1,300 acres between the Salmon River Mountains and the southern shore of glacially formed Payette Lake, combining luxury residential real estate (custom homesites, the Design-Build Collection, Clearwater Cabins under $3M, and the Legacy Ranch estate lots priced $400,000–$1,375,000) with a private club offering an 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course (designed by Roger Packard and Andy North), a 17,000-square-foot lakefront clubhouse, a private marina, an indoor tennis and fitness center, over 20 kilometers of Nordic ski and mountain bike trails, and a calendar of more than 72 curated annual events.

The business operates on three revenue streams: one-time real estate sales of homesites and turnkey or custom-built homes, recurring club membership dues required to access amenities, and professional design-build construction services through the Design-Build Collection of pre-approved home models. Distribution is exclusively direct via a four-person internal real estate team (Broker Dan Scott, Sales Executives Joey Snyder and Steve Drain, Administrator Nancye LaFay), supported by the Discovery Tour program offering 2–3 night immersive stays in Discovery Cottages for qualified prospective buyers. Marketing leverages extensive earned media coverage in Forbes, Wall Street Journal, Mansion Global, Dwell, National Geographic, and Golfweek, alongside organic social channels and cross-promotion with the adjacent Shore Lodge resort and McCall Municipal Airport private aviation access.

The company employs 51–100 staff across executive leadership (President & General Manager Tom E. Garcia, Club Director Max Riggs, Executive Chef Marcus Stewart, VP of Maintenance and Development Rick Mooney), golf operations (Head Golf Professional Andrew Elaimy), and real estate functions. Whitetail Club is family-owned with no institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no subsidiaries beyond the adjacent operating businesses Shore Lodge and The Cove; the entity is a private LLC domiciled in Idaho.
