What Granite Bay Golf Club does

Granite Bay Golf Club is a single-location private golf and country club located at 9600 Golf Club Dr, Granite Bay, California, in the Greater Sacramento area near Roseville. The club operates an 18-hole championship course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and Kyle Phillips, set among mature oaks, granite outcroppings, and the Sierra Nevada foothills. Founded in 1994, the club is owned and operated by Invited Clubs (legal name: ClubCorp USA, Inc.), the largest owner and operator of private clubs in North America. Invited Clubs was founded in 1957 and was acquired by KSL Capital Partners from Apollo-managed funds in June 2026.

The club's core product is private golf, augmented by practice facilities, personalized instruction, junior golf programs, and club fitting services. Four dining outlets (Tilly's Pub, MacKenzie Grille, Cobble Cafe, and Terrace at the Tips) serve casual and elevated California cuisine. The club also hosts weddings, corporate meetings, golf outings/tournaments, and private celebrations. A member benefits platform called XLife Benefits provides reciprocal access to 150+ clubs in the Invited network and international Alliance Clubs.

The revenue model is subscription/recurring, based on private membership dues across multiple tiers, supplemented by event hosting fees. Distribution is direct, relationship-based membership sales serving the Greater Sacramento and Roseville communities. Marketing is conducted through the Invited Clubs website, Instagram, and Facebook. The club does not publicly disclose pricing.
