Pine Hills Golf Club

What Pine Hills Golf Club does

Pine Hills Golf Club (DBA Pinehills Golf Club) operates a 300-acre dual-course daily-fee golf destination in Plymouth, Massachusetts, positioned between Boston and Cape Cod. The property features two 18-hole championship courses designed by Rees Jones (Jones Course) and Nicklaus Design (Nicklaus Course), a 12,000-square-foot clubhouse, a double-ended practice range with three practice greens, the Pinehills Golf Academy, an on-site golf shop, and the East Bay Grille restaurant. The Pavilion Room and Garden Terrace host weddings, showers, and corporate outings for groups ranging from 20 to 288 players. The club is privately held and independently operated with 51-100 employees, led by PGA Director of Golf John Tuffin and supported by a Certified Golf Course Superintendent (Joe Felicetti, CGCS) and one of only 11 Certified Turf Equipment Managers worldwide (Kevin Bauer).

The revenue model is multi-stream and centered on daily-fee play and seasonal memberships. Greens fees are tiered across Early Season (Mar 27-May 1: $100 weekday / $115 weekend), Peak Season (May 2-Oct 18: $140 weekday / $175 weekend), and Late Season, with twilight discounts after 2-2:30pm; all rates include cart and range balls. Annual passes ($7,400 individual / $10,500 with spouse or child under 18) provide unlimited play and 16-day advance booking versus the 10-day public window, with practice facility season passes ($1,000 individual / $1,400 couple) sold separately. Layered revenue includes corporate/charity outings and tournaments (event-driven, handled by Director of Outings Emily Carter), social events and weddings at the Pavilion Room and Garden Terrace, golf shop merchandise (Titleist, Footjoy, Nike, Vineyard Vines, Under Armour, Polo), Titleist rental clubs ($75/set), gift cards ($25-$100+ denominations), and mandatory on-property F&B via East Bay Grille.

The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer with two distinct online booking portals (public and member) powered by ezlinksgolf, supported by phone booking for same-day play and direct sales outreach for group events. The marketing stack spans the company website (pinehillsgolf.com), Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and an email newsletter, with luxury hospitality partnerships (e.g., Mirbeau Inn & Spa) supporting destination golf tourism and professional affiliations with New England PGA and Massachusetts Golf Association. Tee-time booking operates on a 10-day public / 16-day member advance window, with priority booking privileges for pass holders. Technology beyond the booking system is limited to GPS-enabled golf carts; no AI/ML capabilities, app, or proprietary platform are referenced.
