What metropolis country club does

Metropolis Country Club is a private, member-owned country club located at 289 Dobbs Ferry Road in White Plains, New York, founded in 1922 (with the underlying golf course originally designed by Herbert Strong in 1904 and redesigned by A.W. Tillinghast in the 1920s). The club serves individuals and families in the New York metropolitan area seeking a premium recreational and social experience, offering a championship 18-hole, par-70 golf course (6,878 yards from championship tees) restored in 2013-2015 by architect Ron Forse to its original Strong/Tillinghast design intent.

The club's core products are organized around five integrated amenity categories: championship golf with a full-length driving range and a 45,000 sq. ft. short-game facility; racquet sports comprising six Har-Tru tennis courts, four pickleball courts, and two platform (paddle) tennis courts with winter heating; a $3 million pool complex opened in 2022 featuring an L-shaped pool, kiddie pool, and family play areas; six dining venues (Bar Room, Main Dining Room seating 175-225, Main Terrace seating up to 300, and the 19th Hole); and a clubhouse undergoing full renovation in 2026. Underlying technology is non-software in nature, centered on course infrastructure — including a state-of-the-art well and irrigation system installed 2022-2024 — rather than digital platforms or proprietary software products.

Metropolis operates a recurring-subscription private membership business model with revenue generated from annual membership dues (across Golf, Racquet Sports, and Pool categories), transaction-based food and beverage revenue across its dining venues, fees from hosted golf outings and private events (weddings, corporate gatherings), and ancillary pro shop and caddie program revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is referral-driven, requiring prospective members to be acquainted with existing members or sponsored, with membership inquiries submitted through the website as the primary intake channel. The club has invested over $30 million in capital improvements from 2010-2026, funded internally through member capital and operations rather than external investment, and was selected in 2024 as one of only 33 clubs nationwide to host a U.S. Senior Open Championship qualifying event.
