IT Support for Private Clubs

Private clubs don’t run 9–5, and neither do member expectations. With operations seven days a week, late nights, weekends, and even holidays, clubs need an IT partner who can respond with the same urgency they deliver to members. That’s why 12 private clubs already rely on GenCare for 24/7 remote and onsite IT support.

Our managed service plans cover the essentials every club depends on:

  • Preventative maintenance and patching to keep systems stable.

  • Enterprise-grade antivirus and threat protection to safeguard member data.

  • User support for devices, Wi-Fi, email, and Office 365.

  • Hardware and license management to prevent wasted costs.

  • Detailed network documentation and monitoring so issues are solved fast—and often prevented altogether.

But clubs also ask us for more. Extending Wi-Fi across dining rooms and fairways. Supporting major tournaments like the US Open and LPGA Championship. Relocating desks and cabling during clubhouse remodels. Providing digital storage for a yacht club’s regatta videos. And always, doing it with discretion, respect for members, and an eye for aesthetics.

That’s why clubs like The Magic Castle trust us to re-cable entire clubhouses and move their systems to the cloud. It’s why The Beach Club in Santa Monica has leaned on us for nearly a decade to manage Microsoft 365, software licenses, and network infrastructure. And why Mesa Verde Country Club and King Harbor Yacht Club rely on us for responsive support, strategic guidance, and cloud migrations.

We work directly with controllers and GMs to map out big-picture IT decisions—from where to host your club management system to how to balance cost, security, and privacy. Since most clubs don’t have internal IT teams, we translate complex technical options into clear, cost-conscious choices for boards and management.

Every day, our 18-person support team configures new staff PCs, creates accounts, secures systems, migrates data, tunes Wi-Fi, and removes outdated servers. We simplify club systems, reduce recurring monthly costs, and present clear strategies that align with each club’s financial and operational priorities.

Our private club clients value our responsiveness, our ability to operate under high pressure, and our proven process of documenting and planning from day

one. With GenCare, your team can focus on hospitality—while we handle the technology behind the scenes.
