Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
Baton Rouge Country Club, Inc. of Baton Rouge, Louisiana sponsors Baton Rouge Country Club Employees' Retirement Plan, a 401(k) plan. Its Form 5500 for the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024 shows 185 participants (170 active) and $5.2M in net assets.
Net assets came to $28,227 per participant, well below the $60,185 median for defined contribution plans with 100 to 249 participants and well below the $37,341 median for defined contribution plans in arts, entertainment and recreation. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $198K during the year, or $1,167 per active participant against a same-size median of $2,447; participants contributed $429K and $99K arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $256K.
Schedule C lists 3 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $27K: $144 per participant, well below the same-size median of $194. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $2,258. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $2.4M in 2017 to $5.2M in 2024 (up 117%), and participants from 120 to 185 (up 54%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was unmodified (unqualified), from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is Baton Rouge Country Club Employees' Retirement Plan?
185 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 170 were active employees, with net assets of $5,221,944. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 100 to 249 participants band, which held 21,996 plans in plan year 2024.
What does Baton Rouge Country Club, Inc. contribute per participant?
The filing reports $198,420 in employer contributions for the year, which is $1,167 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $2,447 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $26,702 in compensation to service provider organisations, $144 per participant or 0.51% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $194 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $2,258. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is Baton Rouge Country Club, Inc.. Recordkeeping or administration: Stan Corp. Financial Group, Lincoln National Corporation and Retirement Strategies Group LLC. Trustee or custodian: Stan Corp. Financial Group. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an unmodified (unqualified) opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. Unmodified (formerly "unqualified") is the standard clean opinion.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 15 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
