DuPont Country Club

What DuPont Country Club does

DuPont Country Club is a private, member-owned (via holding company Rockland Sports LLC) country club founded in 1920, operating on a 786-acre campus in Wilmington, Delaware. Its core offering is a multi-amenity membership experience built around three 18-hole golf courses (DuPont Championship, Nemours, Montchanin), 26 tennis courts (including har-tru, hard, grass, and indoor surfaces plus pickleball), a 19,000 sq ft two-story fitness center opened in 2020, a pool complex, and multiple dining venues (Legends Pub and the 1920 fine dining restaurant). The club also operates event venues (DuPont Ballroom, Christiana Ballroom, Brantwyn Estate) and structured programming including the DGPA golf academy, RAW Tennis Academy, junior sports camp, and swim team.

Revenue is generated primarily through four subscription-based membership tiers (Unlimited, Limited, Racquets, House) billed annually, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Secondary revenue comes from professional services: wedding and corporate event hosting, golf outings, instruction programs, and junior camps. Distribution is direct: members are acquired through a membership office ([email protected]) handling inquiries, brochures, and referrals, while event business is driven by dedicated sales staff (Paige Kovaleski for weddings, Erin DegliObizzi for golf outings) and wedding industry platforms (WeddingWire, The Knot, Here Comes The Guide, Wed Society).

The underlying technology stack is modest and largely third-party. The website and member portal run on Northstar Technologies' Liferay-based club management platform, event inquiries are captured via jotform and Threshold 360 virtual tour tools, and instruction delivery uses the Operation 36 platform for junior golf. The 9,000 sq ft indoor teaching academy integrates six TrackMan-equipped hitting bays for swing and ball-flight analysis. No proprietary AI/ML systems, APIs, or data products are disclosed, and no external integrations or developer-facing platforms are offered.
