Welcome to The Woodfords Club

The Woodfords Club was organized on September 19, 1913 as a social club. The clubhouse was formally opened on January 13, 1914. The club's crest is an adaptation of that of the prominent and respected Woodford family, that in the early nineteenth century had settled in what is now the Woodfords district of Portland. Membership originally comprised conservative businessmen from Portland . The clubhouse was expanded in 1923 to accommodate an increasing membership. Although the membership ceiling had been increased from 300 to 325 and later to 500, a waiting list for membership, sometimes several years long, was not uncommon. Regular membership now is open to men and women. Spouses of members may become associate members. Currently, dues are $150 per year for regular members and $75 per year for associate members. Meal cost for members and their guests at club functions normally is $10 with advance reservation or $12 at the door.

Friday Nights

     Our members enjoy excellent camaraderie and we would love to have you join us. Just come to our Friday evening family-style dinners, enjoy a half-hour of entertainment or listen to a guest speaker, and join us for bowling, pool, billiards, cribbage, and bridge afterwards. The Woodfords Club is a great place to relax and socialize on a Friday night.

Hall Rentals

     The Clubhouse's first floor is available for rentals. Our main hall can accommodate up to 250 people. The main hall
also includes a stage, attached commercial kitchen, pull down projection screen and has been recently renovated for improved acoustics. There is also a smaller card room available for rent that seats about 30 people and is great for smaller meetings or celebrations. Complete catering service is available as well.
