Overview

Mission

The purpose for which it is organized is the establishment and maintenance of a social organization with a clubhouse, golf course, swimming pool, tennis courts, and other facilities to be operated exclusively for the pleasure and recreation of club members and their guests.

Operating model

Revenue model
Membership-supported. 67% of the money available for current operations came from membership dues.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
