Canadian Golf & Country Club

What Canadian Golf & Country Club does

Canadian Golf & Country Club is a family-owned, semi-private golf facility established in 1975 by the Seabrook Family in Ashton, Ontario, approximately 10 minutes west of Stittsville in the Ottawa region. The club operates a 27-hole footprint comprising an 18-hole par 72 West Course and a full-length 9-hole par 35 East Course, supported by a 1-acre grass-tee driving range, practice putting and chipping greens, a bunker area, a clubhouse F&B operation (Everett's Lounge and Bar), and an on-site Pro Shop. It serves individual recreational golfers, corporate clients, charity organizations, junior and youth golfers, women golfers (via dedicated beginner and intermediate clinics), and the adjacent Country Club Village residential community through a CCV Community Membership.

The commercial technology stack is assembled from off-the-shelf SaaS: Shopify powers the e-commerce storefront for green fee vouchers, multi-game books, memberships, lesson packages, and merchandise; Chronogolf and Lightspeed Golf handle tee-time booking; and Acuity Scheduling manages lesson and club-fitting appointments. The Pro Shop also operates a separate Shopify-based online store (canadianproshoponline.com), and the club integrates with the Golf Canada handicap system for member services.

Revenue is generated across seven streams: green fees (9-hole from $36, 18-hole from $74), tiered memberships (CCV Community $30/year, Youth from $283.95/year, Premium from $797.70/year, Gold from $116.70/month, Club prepaid-rounds packages $630-$2,550), driving range and VIP Academy practice memberships (with prepaid FOBs and rollover value), instruction by PGA of Canada professionals ($65-$609 packages), Pro Shop merchandise, clubhouse F&B and banquets, and tournament/event hosting. Distribution combines direct phone and walk-in bookings, on-site retail, dedicated corporate sales personnel, a self-serve Shopify storefront, third-party booking platforms, and a long-running program of charity and corporate tournaments (e.g., Diabetes Canada, CHEO/Roger Neilson House, Cisco, MetLife Alumni, Canadian Bank Note) that serve as both revenue events and acquisition channels.
