Charbonneau Golf Club

What Charbonneau Golf Club does

Charbonneau Golf Club is a privately held, single-location golf and hospitality business operating a 27-hole executive-style course in Wilsonville, Oregon, approximately 15 minutes from the Portland metropolitan area. Founded in 1975 and designed by Ted Robinson Sr., the course is divided into three 9-hole sides (Red, Yellow, Green), each containing four short Par 4s and five Par 3s averaging 180-190 yards, marketed as a geese-free environment with rolling, generous fairways. The facility includes an 8-stall heated driving range, two practice/chipping greens, a clubhouse with The Market Café (bar and grill open to the public), and dedicated wedding and event venues including the Pavilion and Rose Garden. The club is operated under a management partnership with Troon Golf and has been recognized by Golf Digest as one of America's 9 Most Cheerful Golf Courses.

Revenue is generated across eight streams: public green fees (weekday $28-$41 for 9/18 holes, weekend $31-$47), annual memberships at $80-$160/month with 12-month minimums and reciprocal benefits at three partner clubs plus 22 courses in the Oregon Trail Sister Program, cart and equipment rentals, food and beverage at The Market Café, PGA-led instruction by Director of Instruction Kaitlyn Howe, gift cards, tournament and group event packages, and weddings and private events coordinated by an in-house event coordinator. Tee-time bookings flow through the Quick18 third-party platform and a proprietary mobile app (Version 2.0, launched 2023) that enables 3-tap reservation. Customer segments span public golfers, individual members, junior players, tournament groups, wedding clients, casual diners, and league participants (Men's Club, CWGA, Women's 9). Memberships auto-renew monthly with reciprocal-play privileges across the Pacific Northwest partner network, providing recurring revenue and modest switching costs.

The business is fundamentally a local recreation and events operation with limited geographic reach (Pacific Northwest only), no disclosed revenue figures, and a stable headcount band of 11-50 employees. There is no evidence of institutional investment, venture capital backing, M&A activity, or expansion beyond the original Wilsonville site. The principal growth levers are non-golf revenue (weddings, café), reciprocal network value, and digital channel optimization rather than physical expansion or new course development.
