clubhouse
A building that belongs to an association or club, or is used by it, and serves as a meeting place for members, for events, or for administration.
Nach dem Fußballspiel treffen wir uns alle im Vereinsheim.
After the soccer match, we'll all meet at the clubhouse.
The word is a compound of 'der Verein' (the association/club) and 'das Heim' (home). The '-s-' in between is a linking S that connects the two words. So it is literally the 'home of the club'.
Das Vereinsheim wurde von den Mitgliedern selbst gebaut.
The clubhouse was built by the members themselves.
Pay attention to the difference between direction and location. You go 'ins Vereinsheim' (to/into the clubhouse, accusative), but you are or celebrate 'im Vereinsheim' (in/at the clubhouse, dative).
Lass uns nach dem Training noch ins Vereinsheim gehen.
Let's go to the clubhouse after training.
The 'Vereinsheim' (clubhouse) is an important social meeting place in German club culture. Especially in sports clubs, it is the place where members meet after doing sports to have a drink and talk.

boathouse
Both words can refer to a water-sports club's building. „Vereinsheim“ emphasizes a meeting place for members and events, while „Bootshaus“ focuses particularly on storing boats. Use „Vereinsheim“ when the club's social life is important and „Bootshaus“ when the boats or their storage are the focus.
