Timberlane Golf & Recreation

What Timberlane Golf & Recreation does

Timberlane Golf & Recreation operates a single-site, full-service golf and country club facility located in Gretna, Louisiana on the Westbank of metropolitan New Orleans. Originally established in 1959 as Timberlane Country Club, the property was acquired in 2018 by the Timberlane Neighborhood Improvement and Beautification District, a community-controlled taxing district, which restructured the asset from a private members-only club into a hybrid public-access/membership recreation complex. The core asset is an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed championship course measuring over 7,100 yards at par 72, supplemented by a Toptracer-equipped driving range with 16 covered hitting stalls, an Olympic-size swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, pickleball courts, volleyball courts, a pro shop, and Café Hope, a nonprofit-operated restaurant inside the clubhouse.

The facility's product surface spans multiple distinct revenue lines: daily-fee public golf ($41-$61 per player), five membership tiers ranging from $190 to $525 per month, three annual TGR Pass tiers ($99-$999), private lessons and group instruction, tournament and outing hosting, pro shop retail, range income, swim/tennis/fitness memberships, and rental of the clubhouse for private events. Technology integration is limited to licensed third-party systems: Toptracer range ball-flight tracking for entertainment and instruction, ForeUp-based tee-time booking, and standard POS systems for the pro shop and café. There is no proprietary technology, software platform, or digital product that operates independently of the physical facility.

Operationally, the asset is staffed at roughly 11-50 employees under the direction of a Director of Golf (Richie Tomblin, a 20+ year PGA Professional and former USAF mechanic) and a Clubhouse Manager (Michelle Preuss), with Century Golf Partners acting as the third-party management firm. The customer base is geographically concentrated within a 15-20 minute drive radius across the Westbank NOLA suburbs, with no disclosed enterprise anchors, corporate accounts of material scale, or off-site/cross-facility revenue. The business model is essentially a single-asset, multi-amenity recreational real estate operation monetized through high-velocity, low-ticket public transactions supplemented by recurring membership and annual pass subscriptions.

• Invited (ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of private golf and country clubs in the US, operating hundreds of multi-amenity clubs with membership models. Comparable multi-amenity member-club operating model at far greater scale; useful benchmark for membership economics and amenity bundling.
