About Glenbrook Club
Glenbrook Club is a private club in Glenbrook, Nevada that opened in 1926. The club is member-owned, so dues and assessments are set by the membership rather than by an outside operator. The club plays 9 holes measuring 2,715 yards. Glenbrook is among the oldest golf courses in Nevada, dated by most sources to 1926, and reaches its hundredth season in 2026 on the east shore of Lake Tahoe. Each of the nine holes has two separate tee areas, so a full round plays as eighteen distinct holes across two loops of the same ground. Ben Hogan played an exhibition round here in 1948, going five under par, and gave a clinic the same visit. The land was used for nineteenth-century lumber milling by the timber baron Duane L. Bliss before it became a golf course. Unusually for a private club, Glenbrook Club publishes its pricing: initiation of $35,000 – $50,000 and monthly dues from $458. A first year runs from about $40,500 on Resident to about $55,500 on Non-Resident, counting initiation, twelve months of dues — before cart fees, guest charges, assessments or anything else billed to the account. Those figures cover 2 categories — Resident and Non-Resident. Beyond golf the club lists dining venues, practice facility, clubhouse, events and banquets and caddie program. On guests: Invitation only and member-owned, with roughly 272 members across all categories. We have not found a public source for any food and beverage minimum, current waitlist status and an official course and slope rating, so those are shown as unknown rather than estimated — ask for them in writing before a tour, because they are what actually decide the comparison. Everything above was last checked against its source September 2026.

Categories marked “no evidence” are excluded from the weighting rather than scored zero, so missing data does not penalise a club. Data confidence for this club is 56%.

Confirmed by club means the club’s own current documentation. Reported by members or third-party sources means a credible third-party or member account we have not independently confirmed. We label what we do not know rather than estimating it.
