Innovative Club Management

What If Your Club Was the One Everyone Talks About?

ICM creates, repositions, and operates golf and country clubs and private member-only concepts nationwide. We don't just manage what already exists. We create what comes next, build it, and operate it.

Working nationwide, ICM provides private club management, development and consulting, and selectively partners alongside owners, developers and investors.

Reposition

You own a golf and country club, city club, or private social club. It should be doing more.

The location is right. The bones are good. The capital is there. What's missing is the concept and the team. ICM rebuilds underperforming clubs into the club everyone in your market talks about.

Reposition My Club

Create

You have a vision for a member-only concept.

A golf and country club. A private social club. A dining club. A speakeasy. A fitness and wellness club. A racquet club. A yacht or beach club. A wine or cigar club. A work-social hybrid. ICM takes member-only concepts from idea to opening night and through daily operation.

Why ICM Exists

ICM started on the back of a napkin. I was sitting in a corporate office, frustrated with an antiquated approach to clubs, and I started writing down one question: What if?

  • What if the member experience was the focus?
  • What if hospitality were the foundation?
  • What if we found the best possible people?
  • What if we challenged the status quo?

That napkin became ICM. A boutique, Founder-led firm built on a different philosophy. Every club deserves its own concept, its own strategy, and an operating model designed around its market and members. No templates. No playbooks. Tailor-made, then proven by results.
