Keene Valley Country Club

CLUBHOUSE

The KVCC clubhouse is a historic structure dating back to the club's very start, over 100 years ago. The structure itself is actually made up two buildings that were combined together (which is evidenced by the unusual steps and ramps where the two structures were attached) and sits at the very edge of the banks of the Ausable River.

The clubhouse has been the venue for an untold number of events over the years, including parties, receptions, sing-alongs, theatrical productions, casserole suppers and, of course, "teas" ... lots and lots of teas.

Today, the club is still used for many of these same activites -- as well as a good number of spirited ping-pong matches and games of pool.

The clubhouse is always open during club hours and available for use by members and guests. Members are welcome to use the facility for impromptu gatherings, provided no conflicting events are planned.

For rental information, see details below.
