GlenRiddle Golf Club

What GlenRiddle Golf Club does

GlenRiddle Golf Club is a privately held golf facility located at 11501 Maid at Arms Lane in Berlin, Maryland, approximately five miles from Ocean City in Worcester County. The property operates two 18-hole championship courses: Man O'War, a 7,196-yard, par-72 links-style layout offered on a daily-fee basis with dynamic pricing that bundles green fee, cart, range balls, GPS, and tax; and War Admiral, a 7,014-yard, par-72 parkland-style private members course designed by Joel Weiman with Jim Furyk as design consultant. Tee times are sold direct-to-consumer through CPS.golf-powered online booking, and the club participates in Ruark Packages, which bundles GlenRiddle rounds with stays and tee times at sister courses The Links at Lighthouse Sound, Rum Pointe Seaside Golf Links, and Nutters Crossing Golf Club.

The business generates revenue across multiple streams: daily-fee play on Man O'War (transaction fees), War Admiral membership dues on multi-year resident, non-resident, and corporate contracts (subscription/recurring), stay-and-play packages routed through Ruark Packages (transaction fees), equipment rentals at $65 per 18 holes, and on-site Ruth's Chris Steak House dining. Adjacent services include the Glen Riddle School of Golf (instruction) and a practice facility with driving range. Marketing is concentrated on the company website (glenriddlegolf.com), Facebook, the online booking system, and Ruark Packages referrals.

The club is owned and operated by Ruark Golf, a strategic operating company that manages a portfolio of Ocean City-area courses, and is built on the historic Riddle Farm that produced the legendary racehorses Man O'War, War Admiral, and Sea Biscuit. The original stable building has been repurposed as the clubhouse, with preserved architectural elements and a museum hall anchoring the property's equestrian heritage as a non-golf differentiator. Headcount is reported in the 11–50 range; the company has no disclosed funding, no public ticker, and no disclosed revenue or operating financial figures.
