Springbank Links

What Springbank Links does

Springbank Links Golf Club is a privately held, single-location golf club located at 125 Hackamore Trail in Calgary, Alberta, owned and operated by the Windmill Golf Group. The club operates an 18-hole golf course together with pickleball courts, a pro shop, a restaurant called The Gallery (with stone-oven pizza, 16 tap handles, and a farm-to-table menu), event venue space for tournaments, weddings, and corporate functions, and an on-site Vertical Modular Farm that supplies pesticide-free produce (kale, Swiss chard, Thai basil, spinach, butter lettuce, micro-greens) to the restaurant under around-the-clock hydroponic lighting. The core technology footprint is operational rather than software-driven: a third-party online tee-time booking system (cps.golf) with separate member and non-member portals, Prophetservices for member billing, and OpenTable for restaurant reservations. There are no mobile apps, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed.

The business model is multi-stream and member-anchored. Primary recurring revenue comes from annual membership dues across tiers ranging from $475 (junior) to $3,400 (Principal Full), with intermediate, young professional, spouse, and social categories. Secondary revenue is generated from non-member green fees, food and beverage (including the farm-to-table restaurant), pro shop merchandise, and event hosting (tournaments, weddings, corporate Team Builder packages). Pricing is published for 2026 and is sales-led via direct engagement with the General Manager (Kevin Heise) and Head Professional (Cam). Member segments span Calgary-area golf enthusiasts, families, corporate groups, and event hosts; the club explicitly references a 'Cheers'-style welcoming community as its core brand positioning. Through Windmill Golf Group ownership, members receive reciprocal access to three affiliated courses — Mickelson National, The Hamptons, and Heritage Pointe — via a reciprocal ballot program. Marketing is primarily digital (website, email newsletter) supplemented by member referrals, interclub leagues, Ladies Night, Men's Night, and junior programs. The club employs 11–50 people and is not publicly listed.
