The Club has nearly 700 men and women members (just below our constitutional limit).

The Club adds dinner service on Saturdays beginning after Columbus Day and concluding prior to Memorial Day. This offers staff a high quality work / life balance. The Club has a Main Dining Room, that seats 80, a ballroom that seats 110, and many other private dining rooms. The Club is about to undertake a project to build out further dining and bar space on the ground floor.
