Olde Homestead Golf Club

What Olde Homestead Golf Club does

Olde Homestead Golf Club is a privately-held, daily-fee golf and hospitality business operating a 250-acre estate in New Tripoli, Pennsylvania, in the Lehigh Valley region. The property features an 18-hole championship course designed by Jim Blaukovitch Associates and opened in 1995, a 9-hole Par 3 course ("The Potato") added in 2002, and a national runner-up practice facility with 16,000 sq ft of grass hitting area, 14 mat stations, target greens, and a USGA-spec putting green. The facility is anchored by a restored 1910 farmhouse clubhouse surrounded by 1700s-1800s historical structures, and hosts an on-site restaurant (Conestoga Cafe) and five wedding/event venues with combined capacity of 225 guests.

The company's revenue model is diversified across eight streams: daily-fee greens fees ($35-$97 per 18-hole round, plus a 3.25% non-cash platform fee), annual memberships capped at 75 players ($595-$2,290), food and beverage through the Conestoga Cafe and on-course delivery, PGA-led golf instruction ($50-$80 per lesson), wedding and corporate event hosting, driving range and practice facility use, tournament entry fees, and ancillary merchandise and gift cards. Technology infrastructure is centered on PACE GPS-enabled EZGO RXV golf cars, a proprietary iOS/Android mobile app supporting tee-time booking, GPS, scorecards, and F&B ordering, and Gallus Golf platform integration for online reservations.

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the company website, mobile app, phone reservations, and walk-up play, supplemented by event-driven sales for tournaments, weddings, and corporate outings. Community engagement is reinforced through partnerships with Northwestern Lehigh High School, Palmerton High School, and DeSales University (where PGA Director of Golf Kevin Edwards serves as head coach), as well as junior golf programming including PGA Jr. League and seasonal camps. Membership in the Golf Association of Philadelphia extends USGA handicap eligibility to members and provides tournament access.
