Alpine Country Club

What Alpine Country Club does

Alpine Country Club is a member-owned private country club founded in 1928 and located on 196 acres at 80 Anderson Avenue in Demarest, New Jersey. The club operates a championship 18-hole golf course designed by A.W. Tillinghast — recognized as one of the finest in the Tri-State Area and considered Tillinghast's 'hidden gem' — alongside five har-tru clay tennis courts, a driving range, a putting green, the Nick Lassman Short Game Facility, an indoor golf simulator, a fitness center, a resort-style pool, a children's playroom, and multiple dining venues. The Main Clubhouse was rebuilt in May 2007 and the Golfhouse renovated in 2005. The club serves golf enthusiasts, tennis players, families, and event hosts (weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate outings) in the Northern Bergen County / Tri-State market.

The club's revenue model is anchored by two annual subscription membership tiers — Golf Membership (full access to all amenities) and Tennis Membership (tennis-focused with limited golf privileges) — supplemented by transaction-based event hosting and catering services sold to both members and non-members. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective members and event clients engage directly with the Membership Director (Amy Sherban) and Director of Catering & Events (Lauren Rabinowitz). Tennis programming is delivered through a partnership with CourtSense from Tenafly Racquet Club (a USTA Certified Regional Training Center), and digital member services run on the Clubessential platform.

Instructional talent is a core asset: Jonathan Yarwood, a Top 100 Teacher in the USA and #1-ranked teacher in New Jersey by Golf Digest, serves as Director of Instruction alongside PGA Director of Golf John Mascari and a staff of PGA professionals (Joe Galan, Michael Pesce, Karen Cash). The club employs approximately 86 people, is not backed by venture capital or private equity, and has been member-owned since 1960 when the course was sold to the membership and renamed from 'Aldecress' to Alpine Country Club.
