From its inception in 1923 as the Thorpe Country Club, the Edina Country Club has remained an integral part of its member's lifestyle. ECC is a full-service private club located minutes away from downtown Minneapolis in the upscale suburb of Edina, Minnesota which still maintains a tradition of excellence in programs, facilities, and, most importantly, the high standards exhibited by the "user friendly" staff of the club. Edina Country Club has been designated as a Platinum Club of America ranking it among the top 150 private clubs in the upper Midwest. Edina Country Club is primarily a neighborhood and family Club which has an active membership offering a variety of recreational and clubhouse amenities.
