Green Harbor Golf Club

What Green Harbor Golf Club does

Green Harbor Golf Club is a family-owned public golf course located at 624 Webster Street, Marshfield, Massachusetts, operating an 18-hole walking-only layout between Cape Cod and Boston near the ocean. Founded in 1971 by the Francis family, who in 1965 had purchased the underlying land to develop their proprietary Vesper Velvet bent-grass on a turf farm, the club differentiates on private-course-quality greens offered at public-course green fees ($33-$54 per round depending on day and holes played). The offering targets recreational public golfers, families, and corporate or private event organizers, with three distinct revenue streams: green fees and pull-cart rentals, event hosting with full catering and bar service (including an 80-person patio tent), and professional golf instruction from credentialed PGA instructors at $80-$140 per session.

In 2022 the club materially expanded its product surface with the launch of Winslow's Kitchen, Bar & Range, a 16-bay driving range powered by Toptracer Range tracking and Powertee teeing-automation, paired with a restaurant and bar that extend the venue to non-golfers and entertainment-driven visitors. Distribution is direct-to-consumer across TeeSnap online tee-time booking, walk-in play, the Winslow's gift card e-commerce storefront, and direct event and lesson inquiries via [email protected] and individual instructor emails. Marketing is concentrated in organic Facebook and Instagram, the company website, and event-driven campaigns targeting corporate outings, teambuilding, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and private leagues. The company is privately held under four generations of the Francis family with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or M&A activity.
