Windsor Golf Club

What Windsor Golf Club does

Windsor Golf Club is a privately held, public-access 18-hole golf facility located in Windsor, California, in Sonoma County. The 6,650-yard layout is the core product, charging green fees of $33-$75 depending on day and time, with twilight tiers, junior/youth rates, Windsor Water District resident rates, and senior rates broadening accessibility. An extensive fairway sanding program makes the course playable year-round, addressing one of the key weather constraints in Northern California. The club generates ancillary revenue from memberships, cart rentals, club rentals, driving range use, PGA-led golf instruction, and $75 club fittings, plus a full-service on-site restaurant, Jimmy's Lakeside Grill, which was expanded with a sushi bar in November 2025.

Revenue is further diversified through tournament hosting, weddings, and corporate events. Banquet and meeting space (Lake View Room up to 50 guests, Banquet Room up to 185, Outdoor Garden up to 300) supports in-house catering and event coordination, with dedicated sales contacts (Jim Goff for events, Ian Hopkins for tournaments and golf). The club markets directly to consumers via its website, Facebook, X, and an online booking platform (ForeUp Software) complemented by a Gallus Golf mobile app, and operates preferred lodging partnerships with Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country and Holiday Inn Express Windsor to capture inbound visitors. The customer base is a long-tail mix of individual golfers, residents, seniors, juniors, tournament organizers, wedding parties, and corporate event planners, with no disclosed enterprise concentration.

Direct peers

• Foxtail Golf Club: Public/semi-private 18-hole course in Rohnert Park, Sonoma County. Competes for the same North Bay daily-fee, tournament, and outing customers with comparable green-fee pricing tiers.
• Bennett Valley Golf Course: Municipal/public course in Santa Rosa immediately adjacent to Windsor. Same Sonoma County catchment, similar moderate price positioning, and competing for the same resident and visitor play.
• Sonoma Golf Club: Semi-private 18-hole course in Sonoma offering daily-fee and membership access with tournament hosting. Overlaps Windsor on Wine Country positioning, customer mix, and event verticals.
• Hiddenbrooke Golf Club: Public-access Arnold Palmer-designed course in Vallejo serving the North Bay/Solano market. Competes for tournament, corporate outing, and wedding/event revenue in the broader Bay Area North catchment.

Regional players
