When did Green Gables start?
Green Gables got its start in the 1920s when a group of eight Denver political and business leaders known as the Progress Club purchased 120 acres of countryside outside of Denver. They joined with leaders of the local Jewish community to form an exclusive club that would offer a place to socialize and play golf.
How much did country clubs make in 2007?
The average revenue for a country club in 2007 was $5.7 million, while total expenses were $6.6 million, according to a report by the Club Managers Association of America. The improved quality of public golf courses also has contributed to declining membership.
