Platinum Clubs® of the World, Asia-Pacific, and Europe & Middle East
Platinum License Program 2024-2025
A Legacy of Excellence: Founded over 25 years ago, the Platinum Clubs of America is the pinnacle of recognition for private Clubs located in the United States. The organization has evolved with the introduction of Platinum Clubs of the World in 2011 and, subsequently, the Asia-Pacific and Europe categories in 2019. This year, Clubs in the Middle East were included in the European region.
The election process for Platinum Clubs is conducted by an esteemed international Voting Panel, evaluating Clubs based on the Seven Selection Criteria. This transparent and rigorous process ensures that only the top 1% of Clubs worldwide achieve this honor.
Club Leaders Forum has been the go-to resource for private clubs worldwide and continues to lead the way in the industry. The Advisory Board is committed to excellence and has approved a license program that delivers great value and benefits to clubs, leadership, managers and members. Clubs recognized with Platinum status may secure a Platinum license, allowing access to the array of program benefits.
