The ClubCorp Story
 As with many successful endeavors, the ClubCorp story
begins with a vision. In 1957, Robert H. Dedman purchased
400 acres near Dallas and developed Brookhaven Country Club.
Dedman constructed three golf courses around Brookhaven’s
one clubhouse, thus creating a vibrant club for members (including entire families) to enjoy a greater sense of
community and camaraderie with their families, friends,
business associates and colleagues from civic, educational,
service and charitable organizations. His vision created the
first company in the world to own multiple private clubs,
and his success in 'selling fun' spawned an entire industry.
In order to provide a true haven of refuge and a
home-away-from-home, ClubCorp offered memberships without
discriminating, thereby establishing clubs that truly
reflected the rich diversity of entire communities. The
concept was not only unique, it was revolutionary. During
its 50-year history, ClubCorp has grown to nearly 160 clubs
and created the finest club experiences and many
extraordinary advantages for its members thus becoming “The
World Leader in Private Clubs.”
ClubCorp's Signature Gold membership level offers
complimentary golf, complimentary dining, or both, and
privileges and benefits at more than 200 facilities
worldwide that include exceptional deals at affiliate hotels
and resorts (including KSL Resort properties in California,
Colorado, Virginia, and Texas), ticket and shopping
services, and more. Among ClubCorp’s nationally recognized
golf properties are Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio
(site of the World Golf
 Championships – Bridgestone
Invitational) and Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California (home of the Kraft Nabisco Championship).
The more than 50 business clubs and business and sports
clubs include the Columbia Tower Club in Seattle;
Metropolitan Club in Chicago; and the City Club of
Washington, D.C. The company’s 16,000 employees serve the
nearly 200,000 member households and more than one million guests who visit ClubCorp properties each year.
