Lincolnshire Fields Country Club

What Lincolnshire Fields Country Club does

Lincolnshire Fields Country Club is a privately held, single-property country club founded in 1976 and located at 2000 Byrnebruk Dr, Champaign, Illinois. It operates as a classic American country club serving Central Illinois residents and the University of Illinois/Parkland College academic community. The facility comprises an 18-hole championship golf course (par 72), a heated pool with diving board and splash-pad, newly updated tennis and pickleball courts, and dining venues including the 19th Hole Lounge, main dining room, and Stingrays poolside grill.

The club monetizes through five membership tiers — Full Equity, Junior (under 40), Social, Dining, and Non-Resident — all subject to a dining minimum except the Non-Resident tier. Membership dues are recurring annual subscription revenue and are the largest revenue stream, though pricing is not publicly disclosed. Ancillary revenue is generated from food and beverage across multiple venues (fine dining, casual lounge, poolside grill), usage-based fees for tennis/pickleball lessons and court/ball-machine rentals, golf operations including pro shop sales, club fitting, club repair, bag storage, and lockers, and event-driven private dining/banquets that require member sponsorship with a 20% service fee.

Operations are outsourced to KemperSports, a third-party professional club management company that handles financials and gives members KemperCollection reciprocity access across 20+ clubs plus KemperClub community benefits. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via website inquiry forms and the admin office; no intermediaries. The business serves a single geographic market (Champaign/Central Illinois) at a single facility, with five distinct membership segments that gate access to combinations of golf, racquet sports, pool, dining, and social programming. There is no mobile app, no public digital API surface, and no disclosed AI or proprietary technology stack beyond standard club-management tooling.
