The University and Whist Club, Wilmington established a relationship with Dallas-based ClubCorp, a  leader in private clubs.

This new relationship will allow members of University and Whist Club to have access to more than 350 private golf courses and clubs and other offerings at more than 1,000 hotels, resorts, and entertainment venues.

 The privileges for golf, dining, swimming, tennis and social activities will be provided to all members at no additional cost.

“As a private city-dining club located within the city of Wilmington inside of the historic Tilton Mansion, it is impossible to offer golf, tennis or swimming on site. In an effort to maintain relevance in 2017, we wanted to make those amenities available to our Members. This partnership adds value to our membership offerings,”  said  Michael Crispin, VP/GM of the University and Whist Club. (For more background, see story below).

The club is undergoing major renovations to the sprawling building that overlooks the city and according to legend was at one time considered as a spot for the U.S. Capitol.

 The University and Whist Club was established by a group of Wilmington Business Leaders and is a private city-dining club housed in the mansion. 

Dr. James Tilton who lived in the house was the first Army Surgeon General of the United States and a Member of the Continental Congress.

It functions a private dining facility and offers banquet and wedding venues open to non-members.
