Woodhill Country Club

What Woodhill Country Club does

Woodhill Country Club is a private, member-owned country club located at 200 Woodhill Road in Wayzata, Minnesota, operating a single comprehensive recreational and hospitality site. Its core offering centers on an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, an outdoor swimming pool, and the Barn facility equipped with golf simulators that enable year-round play. The club supports multiple dining venues spanning a formal Clubhouse (Living Room, Dining Room, Bar) and a more casual Lower Level (Grill, Pub), plus outdoor Porch and Lawn seating, and on-site Golf and Tennis Shops for apparel and equipment.

The business operates a subscription-style recurring revenue model anchored on private membership dues, supplemented by professional services revenue from event hosting and catering for weddings and corporate functions, transactional revenue from food and beverage across its dining venues, and one-time revenue from pro-shop retail. Member acquisition is exclusively referral-driven — prospective members must be sponsored by existing members — making the sales motion member-led rather than marketing-led. A member-only online portal with Primary and Spouse account tiers supports member services, while the website serves as the primary touchpoint for event inquiries.

Woodhill has held Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary status since 1994, making it the 3rd private club in Minnesota and 32nd in the world to achieve this certification, and this ESG positioning is treated as a long-standing differentiator. The club employs 101 staff across the clubhouse, golf shop, tennis shop, pool, Barn, and HR functions, and accepts only cash or check payments, signaling an established, traditional operating posture with limited public pricing transparency.
