GORKI Golf Club

What GORKI Golf Club does

GORKI Golf Club (operating as GORKI Golf & Resort) is a year-round premium golf and hospitality complex situated on a 139-hectare gated property in Lomonosovsky District, Leningrad Region, approximately 60 minutes from Pulkovo Airport in St. Petersburg, Russia. The resort was incorporated in 2010 as a closed joint-stock company (АО "Горки Гольф клуб") and operates an 18-hole championship golf course covering 72 hectares in Inland Links style designed by architect Lassi Pekka Tilander. The integrated offering is supplemented by an Indoor Golf Academy on Vasilyevsky Island equipped with Golfzon NX simulators for off-season training, a 4-star hotel with 34 rooms, eight cottages plus a premium Golf Villa, a panoramic 2-storey restaurant, a year-round outdoor heated pool (+30°C) and spa complex, and event venues (GORKI Event Hall up to 280 guests, plus the GREENLAND and WOODLAND conference halls).

The company monetizes across nine distinct revenue streams: green fees, hotel and cottage accommodation, golf instruction and academy programs, spa and wellness services, food and beverage, corporate events and MICE, brand tournament sponsorship, wedding services, and a tiered membership program. Pricing is quoted in Russian rubles, with golf lessons ranging from 1,500 RUB for a group try-out to 9,000 RUB/hour for individual coaching, the six-step "Become a Golfer" certification course starting at 45,000 RUB, and Newcomer annual membership priced at 215,000 RUB. Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer via the official website (gorkigolf.ru), with TravelLine powering hotel booking technology and YCLIENTS handling golf lesson and tee-time reservations; a 5-tier loyalty program (Green through Platinum) offers 5–25% cashback on accommodation.

GORKI serves a dual customer base of high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients across four primary segments: affluent leisure golfers (top managers, business owners, investors), corporate/MICE clients hosting retreats and conferences, wedding and private event planners, and family and leisure travelers seeking a countryside resort with pet-friendly accommodations. The company has been recognized as Russia's Best Golf Hotel by the World Golf Awards in 2018 and 2019, hosted 108 events in 2025, and has 22 tournaments planned for the 2026 season. Brand tournament partners include BMW, Sber Private Banking, Astoria Hotel, Betting League, and Gualong Whiskey.
