Club Frequently Asked Questions

Our clubhouse doors will not open until 2027, therefore so many policies, procedures, and fun details are still in the works. 

Think of this FAQ as a living, breathing sneak peek. We’ll continue refining things as we get closer to opening day.

Thank you for dreaming big with us and being part of the journey. All club plans, details, and offerings are subject to change as we shape something truly special. We’re so glad you’re growing with us.

About the Club

Why is the club called Stonethrow?
We wanted a name that captured a sense of balance. Something that spoke to exclusivity while remaining approachable. A name that carried the weight of a private club but also the warmth of a neighborhood gathering place. It needed to feel safe and familiar, like home.

We also wanted it to stir up a sense of nostalgia. To bring back the days when kids roamed the neighborhood, caught fireflies, and turned the ordinary into adventure.

That is the story behind Stonethrow, a private club in Dallas where families come together to play, to grow together, and to raise the next generation the right way.

Who is the Club designed for?
The Club is designed for families with children 18 and under, with a strong focus on kids 12 and under. Teens are absolutely welcome. We want the whole family to feel at home, and we’ll continue exploring ways to engage all ages as the Club grows.

When does the Clubhouse open?
2027. The club starts now with regular events, gatherings, playdates, and a digital community platform for members.

What happens if the clubhouse opening is delayed?
The initiation fee is non-refundable, but monthly dues will not begin until the clubhouse officially opens. We are fully committed to bringing this vision to life and will keep members informed every step of the way.

Is this an equity club?
No. Members do not have ownership and are not responsible for maintenance costs beyond monthly dues. 

Membership

How do I apply?
