It's an amazing summer getaway
The Old Club is an exclusive private island resort and yacht club surrounded by the pristine, freshwater of the Great Lakes delta known as the St. Clair Flats. The club was originally founded in 1872 as a hunting and fishing club later being renamed The Old Club in 1902.
We are located on Harsens Island in Michigan. Surrounded by the beautiful Saint Clair River and Muscamoot Bay.
About The Old Club
The club is a smaller private club with around 150 members and their family which allows staff to get to know each and every member we have unlike some of the larger clubs. On our property, we have three harbors, two kitchens, four dining areas, the 'Ritz' hotel, three clay tennis courts, an Olympic sized pool and hot tub, nine-hole par-three golf course, as well as several member cottages, lodges, and condos.
The club is an exclusive yacht club that offers great amenities to both staff and members alike. Management (as well as club members) are dedicated to the growth of our staff and the advancement of current employees. We offer free room and board, free meals (2 per day) as well as access to the many amenities on certain days, beautiful atmosphere, cross-training/ability to grow and staff appreciation events
Each week at the club is like a new adventure. Every weekend we have a different theme and live entertainment in our dining room, from fun costume, themed country-western weekend, to family-oriented Fourth of July where we have a parade, turtle races, fireworks display, as well as many other family-themed events, to our formal Commodores ball.
The Old Club is seasonal and is open May - October.
