It employs approximately 27 staff supplemented by a seasonal workforce across food and beverage, beach and pool operations, and tennis and recreation departments. Technology infrastructure consists of the Northstar Club Management Software from Northstar Technologies, which powers the club's public website, secure member login portal, and online employment application system. All distribution is direct to consumer through a single private channel in Rhode Island, with no public listing, parent company, or institutional investor ownership.
