Our Legacy:

Lebanon Country Club is another gem designed by Scottish Architect, Alexander Findlay in 1920. Over the past 103 years, Lebanon CC has formed a rich history throughout the state, including hosting the W.B. Sullivan Invitational. This prestigious amateur tournament, drawing players from across the northeast, has been hosted at Lebanon CC for the past 78 years. Lebanon CC now enters its next exciting season, as the club transitioned to a single owner, dedicated to reinvigorating the club to become a premier golf and family club in Central PA. With a goal of extending Lebanon CC’s storied history and an unwavering pursuit towards excellence, investments will be made in staff support, service offerings and capital improvements to all aspects of the club. Areas and experiences to be improved include dining & event spaces, golf course, swimming pool and tennis facilities. 

Our Values: 

Lebanon CC will be built on a strong set of values and a distinctive culture, which we believe to play a key part in our future achievements. Our approach to hiring and onboarding new team members is informed by our view of shared responsibilities rather than a list of rules and policies. It is our ambition to be an excellent Company in every sense of the word and we are committed to maintaining an atmosphere where we all experience growth, healthy relationships, professional development, and where we can do our best work. While Company leadership bears significant responsibility in shaping such an environment, it is a team effort requiring the commitment and participation of all employees through hard work and accountability
