Province Lake Golf Course

What Province Lake Golf Course does

Province Lake Golf Course is a privately held 18-hole public golf course and integrated four-property resort founded in 1918, located in Parsonsfield, Maine, with select properties straddling the Maine/New Hampshire border. The course combines a links-style front nine designed by Lawrence Van Etten (1918) overlooking Province Lake with a parkland-style back nine designed by Brian Silva (1988) offering mountain and countryside views, and features six sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels. The resort encompasses four co-located assets: the golf course, The Carriage House Bistro & Tavern (founded 2018, rebuilt after a fire), Edgelake Farm event venue (capacity 25-250 guests), and The Wakefield Inn (seven guest rooms) with The Speakeasy restaurant and bar. The clubhouse was reconstructed in 2020 with a wraparound veranda overlooking the course and lake.

The company serves five primary customer segments: individual golfers (~500 league players across 8 leagues), corporate groups (outings for up to 120 players from Boston, Providence, Portsmouth, and Portland), charity and nonprofit organizations (fundraising tournaments), wedding and event hosts (multi-venue capacity for up to 250 guests), and resort guests seeking stay-and-play packages. Revenue is generated through seven streams: green fees (paid per round), annual/seasonal memberships (golf, social, fitness), league fees, on-site dining, corporate outings and tournaments, gift cards, and lodging at the Wakefield Inn. Tee times are booked directly via ChronoGolf and Lightspeed Golf platforms, phone, or walk-in play at the pro shop. The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed institutional ownership, and no public revenue figures.

Strategically, the business has reinvested steadily in physical infrastructure over the past decade (Bistro 2018, clubhouse 2020, online booking and gift card platform launches), positioning itself as a full-service lakeside golf destination in the New England Lakes Region. Operational management is led by General Manager Sabin Beckwith, who also oversees event and wedding bookings.
