After playing 18 holes and a chef-prepared dinner at the clubhouse, your night is just beginning. Hop in your personal golf cart and retire to your private cottage, tucked just steps from the fairway.
That's one of the most defining components of membership. Dormie Network golf clubs have onsite lodging, placing your group entirely within the sanctuary of the club and setting the rhythm for the most personalized overnight group golf experience you’ll find.
Each of the Network’s seven golf clubs is intimate enough to feel like a private enclave, yet spacious enough to host full-property takeovers.
Follow this step-by-step guide to find the perfect lodging type for your next Dormie Network golf trip.

Step 1: Determine Your Golf Trip’s Needs and Group Size
Lodging options across the Network range from intimate four-bedroom layouts to sprawling 12-bedroom setups. With an average of 60 total beds at each property, it is simple to host an intimate foursome or orchestrate an epic 60-person getaway.
Start with your group size and decide whether you want everyone under one roof or spread across a few cottages.
Then think about the goal of the trip. Members typically book with one of these in mind:
Building relationships
Impressing clients
Spending time with family
Having fun with buddies
All are great reasons to visit a Dormie Network club, and all influence your lodging selection. Whichever you choose, relationships will build naturally.

Step 3: Discover Dormie Network’s Lodging Styles
The charm of traveling across Dormie Network is that no two destinations feel alike. Each club's lodging architecture reflects the landscape, geography, and spirit of its region, while the level of service stays the same everywhere, so you'll always feel at home.
Even the names change with the setting. At Briggs Ranch, lodging is called "casitas." At Hidden Creek, it is "houses," thanks to their mansion-style qualities. Every other club calls them "cottages." Which vibe are you going for?
