The Greens at Irem Clubhouse

What The Greens at Irem Clubhouse does

The Greens at Irem Clubhouse is a fine dining restaurant and private event venue located at 64 Ridgway Drive in Dallas, Pennsylvania, within the Back Mountain area overlooking the Wyoming Valley and the Irem Country Club golf course (originally established in 1922 and designed by A.W. Tillinghast; a 26,868-square-foot clubhouse facility was completed in May 2008). The operation has been run by Friedman Hospitality Group under a lease with Masonic Villages since October 2022, when the venue was rebranded from Irem Temple Country Club and opened fully to the public. The single-site venue is structured into six distinct spaces — a Dining Room, Pub, Patio, Terrace, Ballroom, and seasonal heated Igloos — supporting lunch (Wed–Sun), dinner (Wed–Sat), Sunday brunch buffet ($21.95 adult), Old Forge-style pizza, a Thursday Pasta Night with tableside cheese-wheel preparation, and private events.

The company serves four overlapping customer segments: walk-in and reservation diners from the general public, wedding parties (supported by a ballroom, outdoor ceremony options, and The Couples Circle loyalty program), corporate and professional event clients, and private celebration hosts. Commercial activity is driven through a direct-to-consumer go-to-market with no membership requirement, using a website with reservation/igloo booking (OpenTable and Bookly), a Constant Contact newsletter, an Instagram and Facebook presence, and a Tripleseat-managed private events pipeline. Pricing is purely transactional: a la carte menu items ($6–$60), buffet and special-event packages, igloo reservation fees ($25 weekday / $50 Fri–Sat / $100 holiday), and gift cards sold through the Friedman Property Management platform.

Revenue is generated across four streams — dine-in F&B sales across multiple rooms, igloo reservation fees, private event hosting (weddings, corporate meetings, showers, celebrations), and gift cards, supplemented by pick-up catering and takeout. Friedman Hospitality Group operates nine regional restaurant brands, providing shared operational scale; the venue itself is privately held with no public revenue, funding, or headcount disclosure, and reports to a single named General Manager (Carolyn Falzone-Saporito). No AI, proprietary technology, or patents are associated with the business.
