The Glendale Lyceum facilities are available to both members and non-members to host personal, social or business events.

The founding members incorporated the Glendale Lyceum in 1883 to promote higher education, social and friendly relations among members, and to provide literary, musical and social entertainment for its members, the Village of Glendale, and surrounding neighborhoods.

The Glendale Lyceum is a private, member-run social club, located in historic Glendale. In addition to our elegant clubhouse, we also offer members some of the area’s finest tennis and paddle tennis facilities.

The Glendale Lyceum is people. It is that ineffable spirit of Glendale itself that carries on tradition as it grows and changes, that melds newcomer with third generation families, that creates involvement in a wide range of functions. The many facets of the Glendale Lyceum, as outlined below, highlight the broad range of benefits our club offers its members.
