Congratulations to us! Every three years, the Club Leaders Forum conducts a survey with the General Managers of every club belonging to the Club Managers Association of America (CMAA). The survey results are used to compile a list of the 235 most highly regarded private clubs (country clubs, residential communities, golf clubs, dining clubs, athletic clubs, and yacht clubs) in the United States. The Top 5 Yacht Clubs according to the survey, in order, are St. Francis Yacht Club, New York Yacht Club, Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, San Diego Yacht Club, and Annapolis Yacht Club.
To determine which clubs receive this honor, the Club Leaders Forum sent out over 4,000 surveys and 1,400 clubs received at least one nomination of excellence. Some of the characteristics that are used to rank the Top Clubs in the U.S. are the club's history of excellence, quality of membership, condition of the facilities, caliber of professional staff, ability to adapt with the times, member devotion, spirit of generosity in the community, and prudent fiscal management.
This recognition by our peers is an indication of how we are perceived across the country and is a direct result of all of the hard work put forth by our staff, our volunteers and really, all of our members who create a "Vibe" that is noticeable to all who come through our gate. Great job all and celebratory cocktails will be available in the bar after work today… just give 'em your number!
Have a great weekend!
