Woodstock Club

What Woodstock Club does

Woodstock Club is a private, family-oriented country club founded in Indianapolis in 1896/1897, occupying a single historic property at 1301 W. 38th Street. It serves individual members, families, and their guests with an integrated suite of recreational, dining, and social programming. Core facilities include eight Har-Tru clay tennis courts, one dedicated pickleball court, three heated and lighted platform (paddle) tennis courts set in a natural ravine, a nine-hole Tom Bendelow-designed golf course with an indoor simulator, three pools (25-meter main, children's, diving well), and multiple dining venues (Woodstock Room, River Room, Club Room, ballroom, and two private event rooms). The club also hosts APTA premier national and regional platform tennis tournaments and offers full-service catering.

The club operates on a subscription/membership revenue model. Revenue is generated primarily through membership dues and initiation fees, with membership available in three tiers — Regular, Preview, and Non-Resident — and dues structured by age and marital status. Membership is acquired by referral and managed by a dedicated Director of Membership. Secondary revenue streams include dining, special event programming, and catering (available to members and sponsored non-members). Go-to-market is sales-led and reliant on word-of-mouth referrals from existing members, supplemented by an organic social presence on Facebook and Instagram and event-driven marketing through tournament hosting. Operationally, the club is supported by 37 employees across a credentialed leadership team (a CCM General Manager, PGA Head Professional, Certified PPTR Director of Racquet Sports, Executive Chef, and CPA Controller) and runs on standard club management infrastructure with no proprietary technology or AI/ML capabilities.
