StoneRidge Golf Club

What StoneRidge Golf Club does

StoneRidge Golf Club is a privately-held 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course located at 13600 N. Hudson Blvd. in Stillwater, Minnesota, less than one hour from the Twin Cities. Designed by Bobby Weed and opened in 2000, the 7,205-yard course was carved from a former sand and gravel quarry and is rated top-10 in Minnesota and the top public-access course in the Twin Cities. The facility is intentionally capped at 25,000 rounds per year to preserve course conditions.

The business operates a hybrid public-access and limited-membership model. Core revenue streams include green fees priced through a dynamic system that adjusts in real time based on demand, time, day, and weather; a closed (at-capacity) limited membership program with no assessments or minimums; the $250+ StoneCard annual cardholder program; the Corporate User Program for full-facility access; and golf outing services accommodating 24-144 players with tournament coordination, F&B, and event production. Technology stack includes a 72-unit fleet of 2021 Club Car Tempo lithium-electric GPS-equipped golf cars, the cps.golf online tee-time booking platform allowing 14-day advance reservations, Golf Genius for tournament scoring, and an on-site food and beverage partnership with Danny's Kitchen + Bar serving up to 250 guests.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer for individual golfers via website and tee-time booking, supplemented by a dedicated B2B sales function (Director of Golf Sales & Events) for corporate and group outings, plus PGA-led instruction and junior programs in June and July. Distribution is regional (Minnesota / Twin Cities), and customer segments span individual public golfers, corporate event planners, members (saturated), StoneCard holders, and junior golfers. Pricing ranges from $65 walking rates for juniors and StoneCard weekday play to $250+ per player for unlimited day passes and dynamic weekend peak rates, with group outings requiring a $2,500 deposit.
