TWIN LAKES GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB

What TWIN LAKES GOLF AND COUNTRY CLUB does

Twin Lakes Golf and Country Club is a private, member-owned country club founded in 1967 and headquartered at 3583 SW 320th Street in Federal Way, Washington, between Seattle and Tacoma. The club operates an 18-hole championship golf course (front nine opened 1967, back nine completed 1969) along with a full amenity set that includes a clubhouse with elegant dining room, lounge, banquet facilities (up to 225 people), outdoor wedding lawn, swimming pool, tennis court, fitness center, chipping/putting practice area, and driving range. It serves more than 600 member households in the South Puget Sound region with a family-oriented proposition anchored on golf, recreation, social events, and event hosting.

The business runs on four primary revenue streams: (1) recurring membership dues and proprietary initiation fees across four tiers (Individual, Family, Junior under-40, and Social), each carrying quarterly food minimums ranging from $120 to $160; (2) food and beverage sales across breakfast, lunch, dinner, appetizer/happy hour, kids, dessert, and wine menus, plus an on-course turn menu; (3) event and banquet rentals for weddings, receptions, corporate events, and private parties using the ballroom (up to 225 combined with the putting room), the wedding lawn, and the putting room (up to 45 people); and (4) golf operations including pro shop merchandise (10% member discount), cart storage ($10/bag or pull cart), and personal cart use ($300/year). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: prospective members inquire via the website (twinlakesgolf.net), email ([email protected], [email protected]), or phone, with secondary acquisition through community events and tournaments.

Governance sits with a Board of Trustees led by President Russ Meyers (with Vice President Alyssa Rieker, Secretary Erika Sheffield-Stull, and trustees Kevin Isherwood, Rich Price, Dan Smith, Ramon Dzubay, Aron Defaccio, and Matt Howland), while day-to-day operations are managed by General Manager Tom Coburn and a 17-person staff that includes Head Golf Pro Kathy Wake (PGA/LPGA), First Assistant Professional Ben Bergner, Head Chef Juan Ibarra, and Greens Superintendent John Leslie. The club has no external parent company, no venture or private equity backing, and no disclosed financial filings; members hold ownership certificates and voting rights, indicating direct member ownership. There is no proprietary technology platform beyond a standard website with member login and event registration functionality, and no AI/ML capabilities are described.
