With 53 beaches spanning wide-open sand dunes and rare limestone shores, nearly 300 miles of shoreline, Door County is renowned for some of the most beautiful beaches in Wisconsin and the Midwest at large. Nestled in the Town of Egg Harbor, Horseshoe Bay Golf Club offers golf, dining, swimming, and other activities on a seasonal basis. The membership of 672 is active in all areas of the club and is diverse in its background as they come to us from all over the country, but all have strong ties to the Midwest.

At the height of the season Horseshoe Bay Golf Club employs around 120 staff members. Horseshoe Bay is a seasonal club, open from May through October for golf and May through December for Food & Beverage. Club revenues of over $8 M with approximately 18,000 rounds and annual food and beverage revenues of more than $1.9 M. Member dining generates 75% of total food and beverage revenues. The F&B Operation is open 6 days per week from May through October and has limited dining, 3 days per week, in November and December.
The Club recently completed a $7.5 M Clubhouse remodel in 2023 to sustain membership growth with proper sized facilities; right sizing the kitchen capacity for our food service demand, increasing capacity for indoor casual dining by reimagining the main dining facility, providing additional outdoor covered dining under a fixed structure on the north end of the property, adding administration offices and private meeting space, and increasing main level storage to improve operating efficiencies. The Club broke ground two months ago on an employee housing community on property in addition to its off-property offerings with availability starting in the 2026 Season. This initiative aims to provide convenient and affordable housing options for college interns, J-1 Visa students, and seasonal professional staff enhancing employee satisfaction and retention.
