Latrobe Elks Lodge & Golf Club

What Latrobe Elks Lodge & Golf Club does

Latrobe Elks Lodge & Golf Club (Lodge 907) is a non-profit fraternal organization operating in Latrobe, Pennsylvania under the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Founded in 1955, the club runs an 18-hole, par-72 golf course measuring 6,408 yards from the longest tees, supplemented by a pro shop, a Bar & Grill, a social hall with capacity for 75-100 guests, and a pair of FlightScope Mevo+ golf simulators running E6 Connect software. It serves a community of more than 800 members, supplemented by public green-fee play, private lessons with Head Golf Professional Frank Griser, junior golf programs, exchange-day partner-course access, and local event and advertising rentals.

The business model is multi-stream and recurring: annual membership dues (Single $1,400-$2,500, Spouse $2,000-$4,000, Weekday $1,100-$2,150, Junior $250-$300) plus lodge dues of $75 form the revenue anchor, with secondary streams from per-round public green fees ($36-$65), simulator rentals ($32-$40/hr), lessons ($35-$70), pro shop retail, social hall event rentals, and on-course advertising banners sold to local businesses. A $790 New Member July Special for the 2026-2027 season is being used as a tactical acquisition lever.

Operationally, the club completed a new lodge building in April 2022, a new kitchen in September 2022, and installed the indoor golf simulator pavilion since the prior facility cycle. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through on-site play, with marketing concentrated on a Facebook page, the latrobe-elks.org website, an eClub email signup, and word-of-mouth referrals. No AI/ML, mobile app, or external funding is present; the entity is membership-owned within the national Elks fraternal structure and reported $94,309 in community charitable donations during 2025.
