Cobble Beach

What Cobble Beach does

Cobble Beach is a privately held, family-owned (McLeese family) four-season waterfront golf resort and master-planned residential community located on 574 acres along Georgian Bay on the Bruce Peninsula in Ontario, Canada, approximately 2.5 hours from Toronto. The company opened in 2007 and is anchored by an 18-hole links-style championship golf course designed by Doug Carrick, spanning 7,174 yards at par 72 with a slope rating of 139. The 30,000-square-foot geothermally heated and cooled Nantucket-style Clubhouse houses ten inn suites, the Sweetwater Restaurant & Bar, a full-service spa, a Pro Shop, event venues, and corporate meeting rooms. Five private cottages north of the Clubhouse extend accommodation capacity, and the property features over 14 km of summer trails and 18 km of winter trails, two U.S. Open-style tennis courts, a private beach club, and an HD indoor golf simulator.

The business operates nine primary revenue streams: green fees and tee times, golf memberships (with $50,000 principal initiation and $5,900 annual dues), overnight accommodations and packaged stays, full-service spa treatments, year-round restaurant dining, event hosting (weddings with a $30,000 peak-season minimum, corporate retreats, golf groups), pro shop retail, golf and tennis instruction, and the annual Concours d'Elegance motoring festival. Distribution combines direct website and phone booking with third-party platforms (Expedia, Booking.com, Travelzoo) and dedicated group/event sales teams. Member-facing operations run on Jonas Club Software, with tournament management on Golf Genius, lesson scheduling on CoachNow, restaurant reservations on OpenTable, and event ticketing on Eventbrite. Customer segments span individual golfers, resort travelers, corporate groups, wedding parties, spa and wellness seekers, and event attendees. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds, no public ticker, and no known parent company.
