Five Seasons Burr Ridge's One-Rate Membership Plan Provides Gift at Holidays & Beyond

In some cases, members will be able to upgrade to a family membership for less than the cost of what has been the couple rate.

Since its inception 15 years ago, Five Seasons Family Sports Club in Burr Ridge has evolved—and that is reflected in something as fundamental as its name.

Named Five Seasons Country Club when it first opened, the club later replaced “Country” with “Sports” while investing in an overhaul of the facility toward a greater health and wellness focus.

That transformation in 2007 included an extensive investment in the club’s fitness area, and a renewed emphasis on growing one of the region’s strongest junior tennis programs. Shortly thereafter, the club added “Family” to capture its passion for serving people in all phases of life.

And now, with a new one-rate membership format, the club is applying an exclamation point to its long-term commitment to the community this holiday season.

At the “new” Five Seasons, you can join for as low as $99 for an individual and a family will save more than $1,500 annually compared with the club’s prior rate structure. In some cases, members will be able to upgrade to a family membership for less than the cost of what has been the couple rate.

“It has been a wonderful first 15 years, and we look forward to our next 15 in the community,” said Chief Club Officer Bob Diamond.

Among other initiatives, the club is investing $150,000 into new fitness equipment. Also, with the new one-rate membership, members will enjoy full access to the club’s premier tennis program.

Five Seasons has developed a steady stream of high school state tennis standouts, nationally ranked players and athletes who have gone on to play collegiate tennis. And its offerings in that arena go well beyond junior instruction and development.

“Tennis is a fantastic way to get and stay in shape, meet new people, spend time with family and friends, or get those competitive juices flowing,” said Five Seasons Chief Operating Officer Thomas Deere. “This lifetime sport is for everyone and our new membership program provides more opportunity for members than ever before.”

Five Seasons Family Sports Club is the premier year-round high-energy, high-touch sports club focused on family leisure and entertainment, improving sports performance and maintaining overall health.
