Burlington Country Club

What Burlington Country Club does

Burlington Country Club (BCC) is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1924 and located on a hilltop at 460 Country Club Road in Burlington, Vermont. The club operates Vermont's only golf course designed by Donald J. Ross — a par 71 layout stretching to 6,474 yards across six sets of tees — alongside clubhouse dining, pool/aquatics facilities, an award-winning golf shop, and extensive youth programming. Membership is structured around three tiers: a full Golf Membership with course, practice, dining, and aquatics access; a Social Membership with clubhouse, dining, pool, and limited golf access; and a National Membership for non-resident enthusiasts without property within 75 miles of the club, granting seasonal golf privileges plus year-round dining.

The club's underlying technology stack combines the Clubessential club management platform (used for member portal login, tee-time booking, camp registration, and the public membership site) with a TrackMan indoor golf simulator that enables year-round Junior Golf Academy programming regardless of Vermont's weather-restricted outdoor golf season. PGA Professional staff lead individual instruction, group clinics, member leagues, and tournaments; the aquatics program runs a swim team and youth summer camps under a dedicated Aquatics Director. The club's digital presence is built around Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn for community engagement, with a structured email/inquiry-form acquisition funnel staffed by a Marketing & Membership Coordinator (Sabrina Redzic), supplemented by member referrals tracked in the inquiry workflow.

Burlington Country Club's revenue model is primarily subscription/recurring, anchored by member dues across the three tiers, supplemented by transaction-based revenue from the golf shop (merchandise, equipment, in-house club repair, same-day regrip), clubhouse dining (charges billed to member accounts), guest fees for reciprocal play and visitor day play (also billed to member accounts), and program fees for the 8-week summer camp, swim team registration, and Junior Golf Academy clinics. Pricing is opaque — dues and initiation fees are not publicly disclosed and prospective members are routed through the Marketing & Membership Coordinator. The club employs 72 people, operates a single-site asset in Burlington, Vermont, and is currently active in celebrating and extending its 100-year operating history following the 2024 centennial.
