# Country Club Intel

> Country Club Intel organizes public IRS Form 990 filings into searchable US country club financial profiles, historical executive compensation benchmarks and peer comparisons. It helps club General Managers, CFOs, boards and private-club executive search firms research comparable clubs and prepare evidence for compensation and operating discussions.

Coverage is limited to clubs and disclosures in the available public filings; it is not a census of all private clubs or employees. Figures are historical, with coverage and reporting years varying by club and role. Use the linked pages for current product details, access requirements and reported data rather than treating this guide as a data export.

When citing a figure, link the specific CCI page and identify the club or role, reporting period, compensation measure and sample size where relevant. Follow the original filing reference when verifying a source; do not substitute a current date for the filing year.

Role compensation commonly uses Form 990 Part VII reportable compensation from the filing and related organizations (columns D + E), not base salary, from each club's latest filing within the last three complete tax years. Part VII lists every officer at any pay but other employees only above reporting thresholds ($150,000 for key employees, $100,000 for the five highest-paid others), so staff-role figures describe the better-paid end of a role, not every holder. Board-officer roles show stipends, not salaries. Other compensation and Schedule J components are distinct measures; use the definition on the specific page. Fiscal-year financials and calendar-year compensation may cover different periods. Missing or undisclosed values are not zero, and a named historical officer is not necessarily the current role holder.
