From enhanced member acquisition to building a strong community, strategic video storytelling offers clubs a powerful way to distinguish themselves in an increasingly competitive landscape.

The future of private clubs is all about creating inclusive, engaging, and wellness-driven experiences that cater to all ages. As legendary developer Bill Bone said, “Club members are looking for a casual, family-friendly, fun and wellness-driven experience, in addition to great golf.” In his latest article, Frank Vain, President at McMahon Group, Inc., highlights three key trends for clubs to excel in today’s landscape: multigenerational appeal, casual dining options and year-round engagement. From expanding family-friendly programs to offering diverse culinary experiences and enhancing off-season engagement, clubs must adapt to thrive. Is your club embracing these trends? #PrivateClubIndustry #MemberExperience #ClubCulture #ClubTrends #Trends #BoardRoommagazine #McMahonGroup #FutureOfClubs #BoardRoomBriefs
