Catskill Golf Club

What Catskill Golf Club does

Catskill Golf Club is a private, semi-public golf resort founded in 1927 in Catskill, New York, serving public golfers, members, pickleball players, groups, and dining guests across the Hudson Valley and Northern Catskill Mountains. It operates an 18-hole championship course (currently running 9- and 12-hole layouts), a 12-station driving range, four pickleball courts added in 2024, a swimming pool, an on-site restaurant called Bistro 27, and a pro shop. The resort has been under new ownership since 2014 with David Vipler as Managing Member, during which it has undergone course and clubhouse renovations and added new amenities.

The business generates revenue through a diversified set of streams: daily green fees ($25-$50 per round depending on holes and weekday/weekend), annual golf memberships ($1,200 individual, $2,000 couple, $2,000 family plus per-child add-ons), pickleball memberships ($300 individual, $500 couple), prepaid round packages (6- and 10-pack weekday/weekend bundles), a $99 Discount Players Card, driving range daily fees and annual memberships, gift cards, Bistro 27 food and beverage including catering for up to 125 guests, pro shop merchandise, and tournament/event hosting packages. Operating geographies are limited to the Hudson Valley and broader Northeast US.

The technology footprint is intentionally lean: tee-time reservations run on the Teesnap booking platform, with an e-commerce storefront for prepaid rounds, memberships, gift cards, and merchandise. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across both digital (Teesnap, online store, Facebook, Instagram, email newsletter) and physical (on-site pro shop, Bistro 27, phone reservations) channels, with seasonal promotional campaigns and recurring league and tournament programming driving engagement.
