The Keeneland Clubhouse

The Keeneland Clubhouse

The Keeneland Club is a private members’ organization created for the benefit of those who are involved in, and who support, the Thoroughbred industry.

Membership to the Keeneland Club is by invitation only and new memberships are limited by the number of members who resign each year. Expressions of interest for membership may only be requested by current members.

Please email Beth Goldenberg at [email protected] for additional information.

The Keeneland Club Pin Tradition

Each year the Keeneland Club has issued an annual pin to its members for entry into the Clubhouse. Since 1968, the pins worn by our members have been designed to honor a person or farm who has played a prominent role in the growth of the Keeneland Association. The subjects represent some of the most influential and successful members of the Thoroughbred industry.

In 2025 Keeneland is pleased to recognize Whisper Hill Farm as the Keeneland Club honoree.

Dress Code

Keeneland is more than a venue—it’s a celebration of racing’s rich traditions, where every detail, from the thrill of the track to the elegance of your attire, creates an unforgettable experience.

The Clubhouse embodies this heritage, capturing the timeless charm that defines the sport. Dressing for the occasion is not just tradition; it’s a tribute to the legacy that makes racing truly special.
