BRADFORD COUNTRY CLUB

What BRADFORD COUNTRY CLUB does

Bradford Country Club is a privately held, family-owned public golf course and event venue located in the Bradford section of Haverhill, Massachusetts, approximately 40 minutes from downtown Boston. The asset is an 18-hole, par 71 championship course measuring 6,023 yards from the championship tees (course rating 71.1, slope 131), designed by Brian M. Silva, ASGCA, and Geoffrey S. Cornish, ASGCA, and opened in 1989. The Murphy Family has owned and operated the club since 2011, and has reinvested in the property through a redesign of the 18th hole in 2018 and a major tree removal plus tee box construction project across 2021-2022.

The company operates a single integrated hospitality product set anchored on the golf course and open to the public seven days a week. Core revenue lines are greens fees and season memberships (with USGA Handicap services included at $40 per season for members), operated through the foreUP online booking platform; a full-service Pro Shop selling equipment and apparel; on-site dining at the Shamrock Grille (seasonal, 11:00am–7:00pm); a function business hosting weddings, corporate outings, and private events in a tent pavilion and clubhouse rooms with catering; and PGA-led instruction plus Youth on Course and PGA Junior League programs.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed. The business model is a direct-to-consumer operation with marketing primarily through the company website and social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram), a tiered local marketing partner program managed via Visage GPS, and partnerships with foreUP (technology) and a small set of regional GTM partners (Haverhill Bank, Revise, Sacred Hearts School, and Dan Diodati/Verani REALTORS). The company has no institutional investors, no parent company, and no documented M&A, funding, or IPO activity.

Peers

• KemperSports: One of the largest third-party golf course management and operating companies in the U.S.; comparable end-customer (public golfers, events, F&B) but operates across many sites at scale rather than a single family-owned venue.
• Tedesco Country Club: Regional 18-hole country club on Boston's North Shore with similar mix of golf, member events, and outings; competes for the same Haverhill-to-North-Shore golfer demographic.
• Pinehills Golf Club: Mid-tier 18-hole public-access course in greater Plymouth, MA with pro shop, lessons, and event hosting — same single-asset championship public-course model as Bradford, just in a different Boston-metro submarket.
• Haverhill Country Club: Local Haverhill-area country club operating in the same Boston North Shore golf market; comparable 18-hole layout and similar member/public hybrid model serving overlapping local demand.
• Troon: Global golf and club-management company operating hundreds of courses; comparable core offering (golf, F&B, events, instruction) but at enterprise scale rather than single-asset family ownership.
• Crystal Lake Golf Club: Public-access golf course in the Haverhill/Merrimack Valley area; directly comparable in scale, public-play orientation, and local competitive set to Bradford Country Club.
