ABOUT BURLINGAME COUNTRY CLUB
In 1893, a group of sporting enthusiasts, Major J.
L.
Rathbone, William H.
Crocker, William H.
Howard, J.
B.
Casserly, Hall McAllister, and John Parrott led the effort to organize a country club with overnight accommodations for up to twenty or more persons with, "of course, the usual dining facilities.
" Among the foremost of these leaders was William H.
Crocker, the Club's first Treasurer, whose residence estate, New Place, is the Club's present Clubhouse.
Burlingame Country Club is located 20 miles south of San Francisco, near San Francisco International Airport, in a gracious, strictly residential community with one of the state's top school districts.
Facilities include a magnificent, century-old villa-style clubhouse that offers overnight guest suites and rooms, multiple dining and private event outlets, an 18-hole golf course, five tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a swimming pool, and associated pro shops and maintenance areas.
The Club's original purpose was to provide the opportunity for members to participate in the popular sports of the day, such as polo, fishing, horse racing, riding, and driving.
In the beginning, the emphasis was on the horse and all the sports, accessories, and activities involving the animal.
The Club's current logo represents these early interests.
As the decades passed, other sports and activities were added.
Tennis, golf, and swimming are the current sporting activities of the membership.
The advantage of Burlingame Country Club, as its original members saw it in 1893, was the availability of a place and facilities to participate in sporting activities.
However, the Club soon became the hub of social activity and was the site of many themed dinners, elegant black-tie balls, social-oriented annual golf tournaments, and other society events that continue to this day.
Today, Burlingame Country Club is recognized as one of the premier country clubs in the nation.
The Club's history, traditions, and unwavering commitment to providing the best in services, facilities, and amenities are upheld by a staff of over 140 hardworking and dedicated employees.
The Club's robust social calendar appeals to members of all ages, from lavish events and cocktail parties to cultural and speaker events, to bridge and dominoes.
Additionally, the Club offers families a variety of activities, but the most notable are the summer camps and year-round family programming.
The Club has just completed a $15M Clubhouse enhancement project (on time and on budget) with a significant golf course enhancement project and a large-scale casual dining project, both in the early planning phases.
