Careers

Our Club's story began in March of 1948. Frank Smith of Tiburon and Howard Ellis of Belvedere purchased land to create a member-only family recreational facility—the Southern Marin Recreation Center (SMRC). Tucked beneath majestic Mount Tiburon, the 12-acre site was a tranquil meadow that offered stunning views of the surrounding area. The meadow, which still defines TPC’s grounds, at first played host to a baseball field. A meeting hall was built a few years later as part of the Club’s commitment to the local community, with revenue generated by the center funding construction of the first tennis courts and original swimming pool. SMRC was renamed Tiburon Peninsula Club in 1961 to better represent the area our Club serves—the town of Tiburon, naturally, and the nearby community of Belvedere.

From the 1960s through the early 2000s, the Club solidified itself as a central part of Peninsula life for the growing number of families moving to this area. Additional tennis courts were built to keep up with demand, and our aquatics program likewise established itself as a competitive force in Marin. Fast-forwarding to 2006, TPC launched an extensive development program, rebuilding the main clubhouse, locker room building and pool deck, adding a lap pool, and expanding the fitness center. The Club’s junior tennis and swimming programs are among the most highly regarded in the Bay Area; in fact, many of the Peninsula’s residents learn to swim and play tennis here. Our 700 regular and 175 senior members are a testament to the strong role the Club plays in the lives of local families, and an affirmation of our founders’ vision.

The Tiburon Peninsula Club is known today as Marin’s Premier Athletic & Social Club, but we like to think of it as an energizing gathering place for friends and families. Whether you’re passionate about tennis or aquatics, fitness or relaxation, kid programs or upscale dining, each experience at TPC is part of an active, family-focused lifestyle enjoyed as part of our welcoming community of friends and neighbors.

Employment at TPC comes with access to Club facilities including our pools, hot tub, locker rooms, fitness center, tennis courts, and Café, as well as a competitive discount on food and merchandise! Additional responsibilities include providing excellent customer service to our members and TPC coworkers by greeting everyone with WARMTH exhibiting PRIDE in TPC.
