By Steve Pike • New England Golf • January 24, 2021
Dormie Network is a national network of clubs combining the experience of destination golf with the premier hospitality of private membership.
While 2020 was a year most were happy to put in the rearview, Dormie Network members enjoyed some exciting developments – on and away from the golf course – with many more to come in 2021.
Dormie Network offers a unique, national golf membership, through which members have exclusive access to a portfolio of private destination golf clubs across the country. Each club is designed to create unforgettable experiences, with each visit, meeting or event completely customized. The network’s nationally ranked clubs include designs from some of the sport’s most renowned course architects. Given their close proximity to major cities such as San Antonio, Omaha, Roanoke, Nashville, St. Louis, Richmond, and Philadelphia, these clubs are equally ideal for weekend getaways, buddy trips and corporate retreats.
With an eye on the future, Dormie Network continues to expand its amenities and further enhance the membership experience. Upcoming additions and improvements at Dormie Network properties include clubhouses, cottages, comfort stations, driving ranges and more. Among the on-going additi
