Braemar Country Club

What Braemar Country Club does

Braemar Country Club is a semi-private golf club located in Spencerport, New York, in the greater Rochester metropolitan area. The club's centerpiece is an 18-hole championship course designed in 1927 by Morrison & Morrison, with the front nine opening in 1928 and the back nine added in 1967. The course plays to a par 72 and stretches up to 6,797 yards across five tee placements, accommodating players of varying skill levels. Family-owned and operated by the Pavlovych brothers (Walt and Steve) since 2010, the club has undergone renovations to the course and clubhouse and has expanded its offerings to include the Bearshire Restaurant and an indoor golf simulator facility featuring more than 25 virtual courses. Tee-time booking is handled through ForeUP's golf course management platform.

The club operates a hybrid revenue model. Annual memberships are offered across multiple tiers — including Adult, Junior, Family, Intermediate, Senior, Non-Resident, and Trial — with dues ranging from $328 to $1,314. The course is also open to non-members on a daily-fee basis, and the indoor golf facility is rented at $35 per hour. Additional revenue is generated through tournaments, leagues, the on-site Bearshire Restaurant, and event hosting for weddings, corporate outings, and banquets.

Braemar serves individual golfers, families, junior golfers, and corporate and event clients primarily in the Rochester market. Member engagement is supported through an E-Club email newsletter and active presence on Facebook and Instagram. The business is a single-location, locally oriented operation with no disclosed geographic expansion, no external funding, and no indication of AI or proprietary technology development.

Emerging players

• X Golf: Indoor golf simulator franchise with venues offering hourly simulator rentals, leagues, food, and events. Directly comparable to Braemar's indoor golf facility in product format and pricing model.

Others

• Troon: Largest golf management company in the world, operating and managing hundreds of courses, clubs, and resorts. Relevant as an alternative operating/management structure Braemar could adopt or be benchmarked against.
• Golf Galaxy: National big-box retailer of golf equipment, apparel, and accessories. Comparable to Braemar's on-site pro shop in product mix and serves as an alternative retail channel for the same equipment customer.

Broad incumbents

• Topgolf: National tech-enabled golf entertainment chain combining driving range, simulator-style games, food, and event venues. Represents the broader competitive threat from entertainment-format golf that can erode traditional course demand.
• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of private golf and country clubs in the U.S., managing 200+ properties with membership, dining, and event programming. Broad incumbent whose operating model and member economics benchmark Braemar's positioning.
