CLUBBING UP Presented by
Are You EXPERIENCED? INCREASINGLY, Colorado’s private clubs more closely
resemble four-star resorts. Beyond the clubhouse, golf course, pool, tennis courts and restaurants, many clubs now provide facilities for fitness and yoga, spa treatments, concierge services, family-friendly dining and amenities, childcare and every imaginable form of programming—from outdoor movie nights to concerts to wine tastings, cooking classes, private chef dinners and more. As clubs emphasize delivering these “experiences,” accommodating them within existing spaces has resulted in multimillion-dollar transformations at no fewer than a dozen facilities over the past 10 years. And members at least three more institutions—Greeley Country Club, The Country Club at Castle Pines and even the venerable Cherry Hills Country Club—have green-lighted major upgrades. With the steady influx of newcomers to the Front Range, the interclub competition for new members is fierce. But that hasn’t translated into price wars over initiations or dues. To the contrary, providing experiences doesn’t come cheaply.
