The Country Club Of Scranton

What The Country Club Of Scranton does

The Country Club of Scranton is a private, member-owned country club established in 1899 and headquartered at 1001 Morgan Highway, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. The club's core asset is a 27-hole championship golf facility comprised of three nines — The Pines, The Willows, and The Falls — that combine to form three distinct 18-hole courses, headlined by the Walter Travis-designed Old Course (1927) and the Hurdzan-designed 'New Nine' (1988). Supporting amenities include a multi-tiered putting green, practice range, and pitching/chipping area, as well as a 4,500 sq ft pool complex with a 50-foot water slide, four food and beverage venues (Restaurant Eighteen96, Locker Room Grill, Halfway House, and a seasonal Pool Snack Shack), a Golf Shop and Online Golf Shop, and a wedding and events venue capable of hosting up to 180 guests.

The business operates a subscription/membership-dues revenue model with seven distinct membership tiers — Senior, Corporate, Intermediate, Non-Resident, Summer Experience, Social, and Social Associate — each with differentiated age, residency, and amenity-access rules. All membership levels are currently on waitlist, with admission gated by member sponsorship. Secondary revenue streams include event hosting (weddings, corporate), on-site and online retail, and F&B operations beyond the member base. The technology stack is limited to Jonas Club Software for website and member management and a third-party e-commerce platform for the Online Golf Shop. GTM is sales-led via a dedicated Membership and Marketing Director, supported by organic social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), a content-driven website, and email newsletters. The customer base is concentrated in Northeast Pennsylvania with no publicly disclosed institutional or enterprise customers.
