Rolling Hills Golf Course

What Rolling Hills Golf Course does

Rolling Hills Golf Course is a privately-held public-access golf facility located at 2485 Northeast McWilliams Road in Bremerton, Washington, serving the Bremerton and Kitsap County community. The company operates a single 18-hole course designed by Donald A. Hogan and opened in 1972, spanning 5,936 yards with a par of 70, course rating of 68.8, and slope rating of 124. Operations run seven days a week with the Pro Shop opening at approximately 7:30 am, first tee time at 7:30 am, and closing at dusk. The facility supports roughly 51-100 employees and runs an unusually dense programming calendar, including over 54 annual organized events across the Rolling Hills Men's Club (RHMC), Rolling Hills Ladies Club, Couples League, and the newly-launched Keyport Twilight League.

The business operates a diversified revenue model across six streams: (1) greens fees and cart rentals with tiered weekday, weekend, twilight, and super-twilight pricing ($25-$51 per round); (2) annual and quarterly memberships ranging from $1,800 (single senior/military) to $4,000 (couple standard), plus a $145/month junior membership; (3) prepaid Golf Passes (10-round bundles); (4) golf coaching at $40-$60 per 45-minute lesson; (5) Pro Shop retail specializing in TaylorMade and Ping equipment, apparel, and club fitting; and (6) food and beverage through Putters Restaurant & Lounge, an on-site restaurant and bar. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via phone-based tee-time bookings and walk-in traffic; the company has no app, no online booking engine, and no disclosed digital marketing channels beyond its website and the GolfGenius-powered RHMC portal. Tournament operations are managed through GolfGenius and handicap tracking through USGA GHIN.

Ownership is private with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or parent-entity backing, and there is no evidence of public listing. The company sponsors no disclosed patents or trademarks, holds no certifications, and has no M&A history. Its competitive positioning rests on being a "hometown course" with deep community programming rather than technology differentiation, premium conditioning, or destination status.

Direct peers

• Troon: Largest golf and club-management company globally; manages daily-fee, private, and resort courses with full amenity stacks (F&B, retail, instruction, leagues). Directly comparable in business model to a full-service public facility like Rolling Hills.
• Heritage Golf Group: Acquires and operates private and semi-private golf clubs, often with F&B, retail, and tournament programming. Comparable to Rolling Hills in combining core golf with ancillary revenue streams under single-asset operations.
• Arcis Golf: Owns and operates a portfolio of private, resort, and daily-fee golf clubs with full amenity programming including F&B, retail, and member events. Closely aligned with Rolling Hills' multi-stream facility model.
• American Golf: Operates a large portfolio of public daily-fee golf courses across the U.S. with on-site pro shops, F&B, lessons, and league structures — the same diversified revenue model Rolling Hills runs at single-asset scale.
• KemperSports: Third-party manager of public, private, and resort golf courses across the U.S. Operates portfolios with similar ancillary amenities (F&B, pro shop, leagues, lessons), making it the closest operating-model comparable for a multi-revenue-stream public facility like Rolling Hills.

Broad incumbents

• Invited Clubs (formerly ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of golf and country clubs in the U.S. with broad portfolio scale and full amenity programming. Overlaps with Rolling Hills' membership/leagues model but at materially larger scale and broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• Bandon Dunes Golf Resort: Pacific Northwest destination public-access golf resort on the Oregon coast with multiple courses, lodging, F&B, and pro shop. Regional PNW peer sharing climate exposure and multi-amenity public-golf positioning, though at a much higher price point.
• Chambers Bay: Public-access 18-hole course in University Place, Washington with F&B and pro shop. Closest regional, single-asset public-course comparable to Rolling Hills given similar Pacific Northwest climate, public-access positioning, and amenity mix.
