Creating Family Legacies: The Multi-Generational Benefits of Burlingame Membership

Where Family Traditions Take Root

Nestled in the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains at 3,000 feet elevation, Burlingame Country Club offers more than just recreation—it provides the perfect canvas for creating lasting family legacies. Our member-owned club has become the heart of family traditions across generations, where grandparents, parents, and children connect through shared experiences in our stunning mountain setting. Unlike typical country clubs, Burlingame was purposefully designed as a place where family bonds strengthen naturally through activities everyone can enjoy together. The Horse Pasture River flowing through our 1,450-acre property sets the perfect backdrop for families to create “The Best of Times”—moments full of laughter that bind us together and become the stories told for years to come.

Activities That Bridge Generations

What makes Burlingame truly special is how our amenities naturally bring family members of all ages together. Our championship Tom Jackson-designed golf course welcomes players from beginners to experts, creating perfect opportunities for parents to teach children the game while grandparents share wisdom gained from years on the links. Beyond golf, our lawn sports area becomes a gathering place where family tournaments in croquet, tennis, and pickleball spark friendly competition and laughter.

The 3-acre dog park gives families and their four-legged members room to play together, while our hiking trails and fly fishing spots along the Horse Pasture River encourage outdoor adventures that disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other. These shared activities create natural moments for stories to be exchanged, values to be passed down, and relationships to deepen.

Our dining venues, including Elevation 3042 and The Overlook Room, become the settings where celebrations happen and traditions form—from regular Sunday brunches to milestone anniversary dinners. These spaces were designed not just for excellent cuisine but to foster conversation and connection across generations.

Building Community Connections That Last

Perhaps the most valuable aspect of Burlingame membership is the community that embraces your family. Since becoming member-owned in 2009, we’ve created an environment where relationships extend beyond immediate family to create a broader sense of belonging. Children who grow up at Burlingame develop friendships that often last a lifetime, supported by a community that watches them grow and celebrates their achievements. In addition to the lasting friendships, membership advantages at Burlingame Country Club include exclusive access to a range of recreational facilities and events tailored for all ages. Members can enjoy a robust calendar of social gatherings and activities that foster deeper connections within the community. This nurturing environment ensures that every family feels welcome and valued, creating memories that will be cherished for years to come.

Member families often speak of the unique social fabric that develops here—where neighbors become extended family and children have multiple positive adult influences. This community connection provides a sense of stability and continuity that’s increasingly rare in today’s fast-paced world. As one member family shared, “Our children have grown up with consistent friendships and relationships with adults who have known them since they were small. That kind of community is priceless.”

For many families, Burlingame represents more than a membership—it becomes part of their identity and legacy. Our real estate options, from cottages and villas to custom homes, allow multiple generations to establish roots within the community, sometimes with family compounds where extended family can gather for holidays and summer vacations.
