Indian Wells Country Club Inc

What Indian Wells Country Club Inc does

Indian Wells Country Club Inc operates a private country club in Indian Wells, California, providing members and guests with golf, dining, fitness, event hosting, and wedding services. The club sits inside the Invited Clubs network (formerly ClubCorp), which comprises more than 150 clubs serving over 300,000 members across North America. Invited Clubs traces its origins to 1957, when Robert H. Dedman Sr. founded what became ClubCorp, and the network carries more than 65 years of brand equity in the private-club category.

The club's core product is the bundled membership experience: access to on-property amenities (golf courses, clubhouse dining, fitness facilities, and event spaces) combined with network-wide benefits delivered through the XLife Benefits program, which extends reciprocity to other Invited Clubs and partner venues. Strategic partnerships with First Tee (a youth-golf pipeline, formalized in 2021) and Troon (third-party golf-course access) further extend the member experience beyond owned inventory. The business model monetizes members through initiation fees, refundable membership deposits, recurring dues, and ancillary spending on food and beverage, golf, retail, and hosted events and weddings.

In June 2026, Invited Clubs was acquired by KSL Capital Partners, a private-equity sponsor with a track record in leisure and hospitality. Over the preceding five years, the portfolio had absorbed approximately $650 million of capital reinvestment and reimagined more than 25 clubs across the network. For Indian Wells Country Club specifically, this ownership transition implies continued capital availability for property upgrades and programming, while operating within the network's centralized member-services, marketing, and partnership infrastructure.
