Cherry Hill Club

What Cherry Hill Club does

Cherry Hill Club is a private, invitation-only golf and dining club founded in 1922 in Ridgeway, Ontario, Canada, serving members in the Western New York and Niagara region. The club's core asset is an 18-hole par-72 championship golf course designed by Walter J. Travis, which has hosted the 1972 Canadian Open Championship and the 1982 Canadian PGA Tournament, establishing a multi-decade championship pedigree. The operating footprint includes the clubhouse with elevated dining (classic cuisine with contemporary touches, stone-fired pizzas), The Halfway House for on-course refreshments, a professional golf shop, and a vibrant social events calendar for members and their families. On-site infrastructure includes a 19-million-gallon water reservoir (expanded 2005) to support course irrigation.

The business model is a recurring subscription/membership structure: prospective members must be sponsored by three current members, recommended by the Membership Committee, and approved by the Board of Directors. The club offers individual, couple, and family membership tiers, with proceeds funding operations, course maintenance, dining, and social programming. Membership dues are not publicly disclosed and inquiries are routed through the Membership Services Coordinator (Charlotte Burbidge). The club has approximately 20 employees and operates as a private Canadian limited company (Cherry Hill Club Ltd.) under member governance, with no external parent, PE, or VC ownership identified.

Distribution is exclusively through invitation-only referral and the club's official website, which is powered by Jonas Club Software. The company maintains a single physical location serving a regional WNY/Niagara membership base, with no disclosed geographic expansion, digital product offerings, or adjacent business lines. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the club has no venture funding, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity on record.
