Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club

What Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club does

Alderbrook Golf and Yacht Club (AGYC) is a member-owned, non-profit 18-hole par-72 golf course community incorporated in 1968 and operating continuously since 1965, located at 330 E Country Club Drive E in Union, Washington, above Hood Canal roughly two hours from Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia. The property includes an 18-hole course designed by Ray Goss and Glen Proctor (front nine opened July 1965, back nine June 1970), a driving range, two practice putting areas, a chipping area, a pro shop, the 2009-built Clubhouse, and community amenities (The Wickiup park, The Annex community center, The Pointe outdoor event space, and nature trails). The community encompasses more than 350 homes, governed by a seven-person volunteer Board of Directors with an elected General Manager (Jason Reehm), supported by 18 committees and multiple social clubs (Men's Club, Ladies Club, Yacht Club).

The club's core products are the golf course (open to public play with seasonal green fees ranging $28-$72), the full-service Pro Shop, The Turn restaurant and bar, four event spaces (Terrace Room, Board Room, Clubhouse, and the 1,000+ guest Pointe), PGA-led golf instruction, and tee time reservations bookable online or by phone. Two membership tiers coexist: Owner Membership for property owners (one vote per property, unlimited golf, 14-day advance tee times, $250+tax private cart trail fee) and non-transferable Annual Associate Memberships for non-owners at $2,200 single / $4,000 couple, paid upfront annually with no joining fee. Pricing follows a unit-pricing model for green fees, cart rentals, lessons, and event space, with subscription/annual cadence for memberships.

Revenue mechanics span one-time green fees and cart rentals, recurring membership dues, F&B across daily restaurant service and a weekend snack bar (June-October), event catering, pro shop merchandise (Antigua, Cutter & Buck, FootJoy, plus logo goods), and golf instruction ($35-$270 tiered pricing). Marketing is conducted through the company website (online tee time and dining booking, Alder Cam live feed, hole-by-hole flyovers), the Foremast monthly newsletter (published since March 1970), and an active event calendar (Bunco, Trivia, Karaoke, Live Music, weddings, corporate events, golf tournaments). Technology infrastructure is conventional: an online tee-time booking system, dining reservation system, live course camera, and content pages — no proprietary AI, app, or platform integrations are disclosed. AGYC owns the golf course and common areas outright, having purchased them from Crista Ministries for $1.3 million in December 2001 (refinanced with HomeStreet Bank in 2004 and 2015).
