The Idaho Club

What The Idaho Club does

The Idaho Club is a privately-held, master-planned luxury residential and golf community located six miles from downtown Sandpoint, Idaho. The community is anchored by the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in Idaho, an 18-hole course routed through the Lower Pack River corridor and Moose Mountain landscape. The property offers a vertically integrated portfolio of residential real estate — homesites (from approximately 0.34 to over 5 acres with pre-installed utilities), cabin homes, estate homes, and lodge homes — alongside club amenities that include a mountain-modern clubhouse housing a Pro Shop and the Clubhouse restaurant, a Golf Academy, public and member tee times, watersports and fishing on Lake Pend Oreille, hiking and biking trails, and proximity to Schweitzer Mountain ski resort. Sales of real estate are handled through a wholly-owned licensed brokerage, Idaho Club Realty, LLC, while hospitality operations are run under Idaho Club Hospitality.

The company operates a hybrid business model spanning transactional and recurring revenue. Real-estate sales generate one-time license-style revenue from homesite and home purchases (homesites priced $120K–$2.85M; homes listed $950K–$2.85M). Recurring streams include HOA dues ($115/month), water ($45/month vacant, $75/month occupied) and sewer ($90/month) utility pass-throughs, club memberships providing golf, lake, and amenity access, and ongoing HOA-managed infrastructure such as gated security, road maintenance, and snow plowing. Usage-based revenue comes from public and member greens fees, the Pro Shop, Golf Academy instruction, and Clubhouse Restaurant F&B. Customer-facing operations are supported by an AI-powered SMS concierge named Lisa that autonomously handles reservations, tee-time bookings, and real-estate tour scheduling. The company is headquartered at 151 Clubhouse Way, Sandpoint, Idaho, operates with 11–50 employees, and has no disclosed institutional ownership, venture or private-equity backing, or parent company.
