For those who believe a membership should feel like more than just access, The Don Club offers something rare. It delivers a true sense of place, where luxury, community, and everyday escape come together seamlessly along the shores of St. Pete Beach.

At the center of that experience is Tim Mogelgaard, a Membership Director who understands that what people are really searching for is connection. Not just amenities, but a lifestyle.

Tim’s journey to The Don Club is rooted in both professional expertise and a genuine love for bringing people together. Originally from Hamilton, New York, he earned his undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University at Buffalo before making the move to Florida in 2002.

He later completed his MBA at the University of Phoenix, blending his understanding of human behavior with strong business acumen. That combination has shaped his approach to membership in a meaningful way.

Outside of work, Tim is just as community-driven. He captains trivia, shuffleboard, and bowling teams, and spends his free time on the golf course competing in The Tampa Tour. At home, he is a proud father to his 19-year-old son, Nolan. Tim Mogelgaard brings that same energy and enthusiasm into every interaction with members.

The Don Club is the private membership arm of the iconic The Don CeSar, often referred to as the “Pink Palace.” For decades, it has offered an exclusive way for members to enjoy one of the most recognizable beachfront resorts in Florida.

With nearly 600 members, the club has built a reputation for delivering a high-end experience that goes far beyond the expected. It is not just about access. It is about belonging to something special.

Membership at The Don Club opens the door to a lifestyle that blends relaxation, recreation, and refinement.

Members enjoy private access to pristine beach and pool areas, along with a full-service fitness center and a wide variety of classes designed to support health and wellness. Spa treatments offer an added layer of indulgence, while complimentary parking and exclusive discounts across the resort make every visit effortless.

But what truly defines the experience is the atmosphere. Whether it is a quiet morning by the water or an evening social event, every moment feels curated, intentional, and elevated.

In a region known for beautiful beaches and upscale amenities, The Don Club still manages to stand in a league of its own.

Its connection to The Don CeSar gives members unlimited access to a level of luxury that is difficult to replicate. From the setting itself to the service and attention to detail, the experience is consistently exceptional.

As Tim puts it, there is simply nothing else in the Tampa Bay area that compares.

While the amenities are impressive, it is the people who make The Don Club truly special.

The membership is large, yet close-knit. It is a place where friendships form naturally, where networking happens effortlessly, and where members genuinely enjoy spending time together. Social events, both casual and curated, create opportunities for connection that extend well beyond the beach and pool.

Through an active social media presence and a steady calendar of events, the club continues to foster a sense of community that keeps members engaged and excited to return.

The future of The Don Club is focused on continuing what it already does exceptionally well. Providing high-end spaces, memorable events, and a consistently elevated experience for its members.

Under Tim’s leadership, the goal is simple. Maintain the standard of excellence while continuing to grow a community that values quality, connection, and lifestyle.

For those considering membership, Tim offers straightforward advice. If you are looking for the highest level of membership experience in Tampa Bay, take the next step.

Schedule a tour. See it for yourself. Experience what it feels like to spend your days in a place where luxury and belonging go hand in hand.
