Hog Neck Golf Course

What Hog Neck Golf Course does

Hog Neck Golf Course is a public golf facility located at 10142 Old Cordova Rd in Easton, Maryland, operating on Maryland's Eastern Shore in Talbot County. Founded in 1976 and celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2026, the facility offers 27 holes of golf: an 18-hole Championship Course (Par 72, 7,100 yards) and a 9-hole Executive Course (4 par-3s and 5 par-4s). It is supported by an extensive practice area that includes a large putting green, a newly redesigned chipping green complex, and a driving range with both grass and mat hitting areas. The facility appears to be owned or operated by Talbot County government, as evidenced by the [email protected] email domain, county council liaison representation on the Golf Board, and its positioning as a public/municipal asset.

The business operates a diversified revenue model combining transaction-based and recurring streams. Daily green fees are tiered by course, time of day, and day of week, with Championship rates ranging $50-$90 and Executive 9-hole rates at $27 walking / $37 riding. Annual memberships are sold across Championship, Twilight, and Executive-only tiers in Single, Couples, and Family formats with riding and walking variants, priced from $850 (Junior) to $5,350 (Full Family Riding) for the 2026-2027 cycle and offering 30-day advance tee time booking privileges and merchandise discounts. Ancillary revenue streams include private and group golf lessons ($60-$500 series), club rentals (standard Strata $15-$30; premium TaylorMade, Ping, Callaway $50/18-holes), a 4,000 sq ft Pavilion event venue at $350/hour, junior golf camps at $250/camper, and pro shop merchandise.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer: customers self-book tee times through the ForeUP-powered online platform, call in, or walk up to the pro shop, and event inquiries route through website forms or phone. The company runs four organized leagues (Men's Hog Neck Golf Association, HNWGA, Ladies 9-Hole League, Senior Men's League) and hosts MISGA events, junior tournaments, and charity outings, generating 200+ events per year. Commercial reach extends through Stay & Play partnerships with six area hotels (Quality Inn, Holiday Inn Express Easton, Tidewater Inn, Inn at Perry Cabin, St. Michael's Harbour Inn & Marina, Holiday Inn Express Cambridge) and the adjacent Talbot County Community Center for meetings up to 200 people. Marketing relies on the hogneck.com website, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, supplemented by league-driven word-of-mouth. Day-to-day operations are led by General Manager/Head Professional Rich Setter and Superintendent Owen Sutherland, with governance provided by a Golf Board that includes a county council liaison.

Regional players

• Plantation Lakes Golf & Country Club: Public-access golf facility in Millsboro, Delaware, serving the same Delmarva Peninsula regional market. Comparable mid-Atlantic public golf positioning though operating in a different state.
• Baywood Greens: Public golf course in Long Neck, Delaware, on the Delmarva Peninsula. Comparable public-access championship daily-fee model serving the same Eastern Shore / coastal Delaware regional customer pool.

Direct peers

• Bulle Rock Golf Club: Public 18-hole championship golf course in Havre de Grace, MD, on the upper Eastern Shore. Comparable Mid-Atlantic public championship daily-fee/membership model and similar target customer (regional golfers, tourists, corporate outings).
• The Bay Club: Public golf facility in Berlin, MD (Eastern Shore) offering an 18-hole championship course plus practice amenities. Directly comparable geography, business model (public daily-fee plus memberships), and customer base of Eastern Shore golfers and resort tourists.
• Eagle's Landing Golf Course: Public golf course in Berlin, MD on the Eastern Shore. Comparable public-access daily-fee model serving the same regional golfer population and Ocean City tourism corridor that Hog Neck targets via Stay & Play partnerships.
• Ocean City Golf Club: Public golf course in Ocean City, MD catering to regional golfers and resort visitors. Comparable Mid-Atlantic coastal public-golf value proposition, with overlapping Stay & Play hotel distribution and tourist customer base.
• River Run Golf Course: Public 18-hole course in Berlin, MD on the Eastern Shore. Comparable daily-fee public model, similar scale, and overlapping target market of local residents and Eastern Shore tourists.

Broad incumbents

• Troon Golf: Largest third-party golf course management company operating hundreds of daily-fee, resort, and private clubs globally. Comparable end-customer (golfers) and overlapping product (golf operations, event hosting, membership marketing), but operates at vastly greater scale as a management platform rather than a single-site owner.
• American Golf Corporation: Multi-course public golf operator managing numerous public-access facilities across the U.S. Overlapping business model (daily-fee public golf, leagues, lessons, events) but at portfolio scale rather than single-site.

Emerging players

• Topgolf: Entertainment-driven golf concept (tech-enabled driving range with food/beverage and events). Comparable customer use cases (leisure golf, group events, hospitality) and partially overlapping event-venue thesis but a fundamentally different delivery model.
