Core offering

Ox Ridge Riding & Racquet Club is a private membership club that sells access to an integrated portfolio of equestrian, racquet sports, fitness, dining, and event-hosting facilities on a 51-acre campus in Darien, Connecticut. Members pay initiation fees and ongoing dues to access squash courts, platform tennis, a fitness center, the clubhouse dining room, and the Riding Academy program; squash lessons, riding lessons, horse boarding, and event venue rentals are sold as additional services. The club monetizes primarily through recurring membership subscriptions, lesson and rental fees, and event hosting revenue.

Product overview

Ox Ridge Riding & Racquet Club is a private membership club offering a unified portfolio of recreational and social amenities. The core offering centers on three pillars: equestrian programs (Riding Academy with lessons, horse boarding, and training via Oakland Stables partnership), racquet sports (squash courts, platform tennis, and upcoming padel courts), and clubhouse amenities (fitness center, dining, and event hosting). The 18,000-square-foot clubhouse serves as the central hub, connecting these facilities. The club's Elite Tournament Program provides specialized squash coaching, while dining partnerships enhance the member experience. Membership is required for most programming, with initiation fees, dues, and program-specific fees.
