What The Links Golf Course does

The Links Golf Course is a single-location executive-length golf facility operating in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, owned by Fairways and Greens, Inc. The 18-hole par 62 course measures 4,800 yards from the back tees and 3,454 yards from the forward tees, featuring 8 par-4s and 10 par-3s on a layout designed by Dick Phelps. The facility serves individual and family golfers, beginners, league players, juniors, and corporate groups in the Denver metro area.

The operation centers on a ClubCaddie-powered booking platform and mobile app (iOS/Android) that handle tee time reservations, score tracking, range finder, and on-course food ordering, with Golf Genius providing external league administration. Supporting services include PGA-certified instruction (Andrew Tucker, Nathan Gruda, Thomas Barber), a pro shop carrying TaylorMade, Titleist, OGIO, FootJoy, adidas, and Izod merchandise, on-site food and beverage at The Grill, organized leagues for men, women, seniors, couples, and juniors, junior camps and PGA Junior League programming, and customizable corporate and social tournament packages.

Revenue is generated through green fees (residents $27-$45, non-residents $30-$48 for 9 or 18 holes), equipment rentals ($5-$28), practice range buckets, private and group lessons ($35-$320), pro shop retail, league fees, corporate tournament packages ($50-$85 per player), and gift card sales. The go-to-market is purely direct-to-consumer through walk-in traffic, website, mobile app, phone reservations, and direct corporate outreach, with no paid advertising or external distribution partnerships.

Direct peers

• American Golf Corporation: American Golf is one of the largest operators of public golf courses in the United States, managing facilities with green fees, lessons, leagues, pro shops, and F&B. It is a direct peer in public-course operations and amenity management.
• Heritage Golf Group: Heritage Golf Group owns and operates a portfolio of private, public, and resort golf clubs across the U.S. Comparable to The Links in single-property course operations and full amenity delivery including clubhouse, events, and instruction.
• Troon: Troon is the world's largest golf and club management company, operating and managing hundreds of public and private golf facilities worldwide. It is directly comparable as a golf course operator running similarly structured facilities with amenities including pro shops, F&B, instruction, and league play.
• KemperSports: KemperSports is a golf course and hospitality management company that operates and manages public, private, and resort golf properties. It is directly comparable as a multi-course operator with similar service lines including golf operations, F&B, events, and instruction.
• Arcis Golf: Arcis Golf is a private-equity-backed owner and operator of a portfolio of public and private golf clubs across the U.S. Like The Links, it operates individual golf facilities with full amenity suites (golf, F&B, events, instruction) under a multi-property operating model.

Emerging players

• Topgolf Entertainment Group: Topgolf operates technology-enabled golf entertainment venues combining driving range play with food, beverage, and social entertainment. It targets similar casual and beginner golfers but uses a fundamentally different delivery model (venue-based entertainment vs. traditional course play), making it an adjacent emerging peer rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Pebble Beach Company: Pebble Beach Company operates luxury golf resorts including Pebble Beach Golf Links, plus lodging, F&B, and retail. Comparable as a golf-course-led hospitality business, though at the ultra-premium end of the market versus The Links' accessible public-fee structure.
• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Invited is the largest owner and operator of private golf and country clubs in the U.S., with 150+ clubs. It is a broad incumbent in the golf facility space — overlapping amenities (golf, F&B, events) but focused on membership/private-club economics versus The Links' public-play model.
