Laconia Country Club

What Laconia Country Club does

Laconia Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and country club established in 1922 in Laconia, New Hampshire, situated on the western side of Lake Winnipesaukee in the Lakes Region. The club's core asset is a championship 18-hole, par-72 golf course measuring 6,813 yards, redesigned in 2002 by Wogan & Sargent, LLC, set on more than 200 acres of natural terrain. Supporting facilities include 8,000 square feet of putting surfaces, a 28,000-yard natural grass driving range, a short-game practice area, a recently renovated 6,000-square-foot clubhouse with dining, and a full-service Pro Shop offering apparel, equipment, club fitting, and repair services.

The club operates on a multi-tiered membership model with categories including Individual, Family, Senior, Super Senior, Intermediate, Social, Junior, and Young Adult, supported by initiation fees and recurring annual dues. Revenue is diversified across subscription membership dues, usage-based guest green fees ($55 for 9 holes, $95 for 18 holes), clubhouse dining, private events and banquets (capacity up to 144 for receptions), Pro Shop transactions, and golf instruction. The customer base consists of private individual and family members drawn from the Lakes Region, acquired primarily through member referrals, with a Family Tee Program introduced in 2014 to broaden onboarding of younger and beginner golfers.

The business is operated as a non-equity, member-owned LLC (Laconia Golf Club, LLC, formed in 1997) with no public listing, no parent company, and no venture funding. Operations are supported by approximately 17 staff covering general management, finance, food and beverage, golf operations, instruction, and course maintenance. Distribution is exclusively direct through membership sales and a single regional office location in Laconia, NH.
