Glendale Country Club Names Clint Whitney As General Manager

Clint Whitney has been named general manager of Glendale Country Club, the only private golf club in Bellevue. He assumes his new position Feb. 1.

Whitney was general manager and director of golf at The Golf Club at Redmond Ridge from 2003 until assuming his new position. The Lake Stevens resident also held the same title at Kayak Point Golf Course in Stanwood, Wash. from 2001-2003.

“Clint has the passion and the energy to help Glendale become the best it can be,” stated Mo Zareh, president of Glendale, in announcing the selection. He said Whitney was highly recommended by several past club members who now reside and play golf at Redmond Ridge. Noting Glendale’s new GM has “excellent experience in sales and operations,” the club’s president said Whitney emerged as the unanimous choice of the Selection Committee following a rigorous evaluation process.

Whitney’s golf career dates to 1988 when he was assistant golf professional at Tri-City Golf Course in American Fork, Utah. He was elected to Class A membership in the PGA of America in 1994.

Considered a “hidden jewel,” Glendale Country Club was established on its current 148-acre site in 1956. The club’s origins date to the 1920s, initially as a nine-hole course in Burien known as Glen Acres. Last year, Glendale hosted the Washington Open Invitational and completed a $2 million renovation project of its clubhouse and pro shop/club storage building.
