• Wannamoisett Country Club: Renowned private 18-hole Donald Ross-designed club in Rumford, RI. Comparable New England private country club with elite golf pedigree, F&B operations, tournament hosting, and member-owned structure — a relevant peer for benchmarking membership pricing and event economics.

• The Kittansett Club: Highly regarded private 18-hole club in Marion, MA, designed by William Flynn. Comparable elite private Massachusetts country club with strong tournament reputation, member-owned model, and similar golf/dining/events offering, providing a relevant upper-end benchmark for BHCC's positioning.
