Orange Tree Golf Club

What Orange Tree Golf Club does

Orange Tree Golf Club is a family-owned and operated private golf club located in the Dr. Phillips area of Orlando, Florida, established in 1972. The club's core asset is an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Joe Lee, featuring 7,036 yards with six sets of tees, Champion Bermuda greens, a 300+ yard driving range with 16 hitting bays, a 10,000 square foot putting green, and a 4,000 square foot short game area. The course is recognized as a U.S. Open Local Qualifier and Florida State Senior Open Qualifying course, and is locally branded as the "hidden gem" of Orlando with a signature three-hole closing stretch known as "The Loop." Facility infrastructure includes a newly renovated clubhouse and outdoor patio areas.

The club monetizes through seven distinct revenue streams: recurring membership dues across five tiers (Individual, Family, National, Young Executive, and Social), non-member green fees and guest play, full-service event hosting for weddings and celebrations with in-house catering, corporate and family golf outings, pro shop retail featuring brands such as Titleist, Cobra, FootJoy and Ping, PGA and TPI certified golf instruction using V1 Pro video swing technology, and clubhouse dining. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, primarily through phone inquiries and the club website, with supplementary event-driven marketing and an organic social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter. Pricing for membership initiation, dues, and events is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with Florida sales tax and credit card processing fees applied at point of sale.

The business operates as a regional lifestyle and hospitality venue with its entire revenue base concentrated on a single physical asset in Orlando/Central Florida. Management is led by General Manager George Wyckhuyse, Director of Golf David Damesworth, Head Golf Professional Daniel Bigbie, Superintendent Rob Torri, Events Manager Jenny Callero, and Membership lead Christy Pierce. The operating model is subscription-based for core golfing privileges layered with usage-based and professional-services revenue from events, instruction, and ancillary amenities, providing revenue diversification within a single-asset footprint.
