Invited Clubs specializes in providing access to a diverse portfolio of over 150 golf and country clubs, as well as city clubs, aimed at enriching the lives of its members.

The core offerings include a membership model that allows individuals and families to access exclusive amenities such as golf courses, dining facilities, and event spaces. The clubs foster relationships and encourage community engagement among members, offering services designed to enhance social interaction and networking opportunities. Members also benefit from the ClubLine concierge service, which assists with bookings for tee times, dining reservations, and inquiries regarding membership benefits. Invited Clubs operates in multiple geographical markets across the United States, catering to a wide range of clientele, including families, professionals, and community leaders looking to connect and thrive in a vibrant social environment.

In the most recent year, Invited reported a revenue of USD 1,028,088,000 and an EBITDA of USD 222,886,000. The company's revenue model is structured around membership fees and various service charges associated with its offerings. Members pay an initiation fee followed by annual dues, which provide them with access to the company's extensive network of facilities and services. Transactions are primarily B2C, with members engaging directly with the clubs for their recreational and social needs.

Revenue is generated not only through membership fees but also from additional services like event hosting and dining experiences. The company’s flagship products include various membership tiers, which may offer differing levels of access and benefits, catering to the diverse preferences and expectations of its member base. Following the acquisition by Apollo Global Management in July 2017, Invited plans to leverage its resources to support growth initiatives. The rationale behind this acquisition is to bolster the company's expansion efforts.

Specific strategies include designing new products and enhancing existing membership offerings. The company is targeting the expansion of its geographical markets to reach a broader clientele across the United States. In April 2026, KSL Capital Partners agreed to acquire Invited Clubs from Apollo for approximately USD 3 billion including debt.
