Las Posas Country Club

The Challenge

Nestled in the rolling hills of Ventura County, California, Las Posas Country Club had long been a cornerstone of its community – a place where families gathered and friendship grew. But over time, the club faced mounting challenges: financial strain, years of deferred maintenance, and growing competition in a saturated private-club market.

Service levels had become inconsistent, staff turnover was high, and community confidence was waning. Members wanted stability and a renewed sense of pride.

The Board knew they needed more than management help – they needed a partnership-driven organization built on experience, integrity, and a belief that great clubs bring people together – on and off the course.

"It was a complex challenge, but with imagination and effective leadership, we now have a thriving club with a full membership and a healthy golf waiting list. We are thrilled with the outcome and excited for the future of Las Posas Country Club."

- Denis Barry, Advisory Board President
