What Golf & Ski Warehouse does

Golf & Ski Warehouse is a privately held, for-profit specialty retailer founded in 1989 and headquartered in West Lebanon, New Hampshire, operating as a brand under parent company Worldwide Golf Shops. The company runs four physical retail locations across northern New England — three in New Hampshire (Hudson, Greenland, West Lebanon) and one in Maine (Scarborough) — and sells golf clubs, equipment, apparel, and accessories alongside ski and snowboard equipment, apparel, and accessories from major brands including Callaway, Ping, TaylorMade, Titleist, Patagonia, Burton, K2, and The North Face. The Hudson, NH store is one of only 23 Callaway Performance Centers in the United States, anchoring a custom club fitting service that uses TrackMan 4 dual radar, Foresight Sports GCQuad launch monitors, and SAM PuttLab technology; outdoor driving ranges are available at three locations and indoor putting greens at all four.

The company's revenue model is a hybrid of one-time equipment retail sales and paid professional services. Custom fittings are priced at $100 for Driver, $100 for Iron, $150 for Full Set, and $50 for Putter, with 50% of the fitting fee credited toward a related purchase within 30 days — a mechanism that converts fitting services into a customer acquisition funnel for higher-margin equipment sales. Ancillary revenue streams include full-service golf and ski/snowboard repair, a junior lease and trade program for snow sports, gift cards, demo days, and corporate/group event packages. The All-Star Rewards Program adds a recurring loyalty layer, offering a 3.5% rebate (1 point per dollar, 300-point minimum) plus partner discounts on green fees and lift tickets, with points that never expire. Distribution is omnichannel: in-store retail plus e-commerce through the parent company's worldwidegolfshops.com platform with free shipping on all orders. The technology stack is largely third-party (TrackMan, Foresight Sports, SAM PuttLab), and there are no disclosed proprietary software, AI/ML, or data products.
