LONE STAR GOLF CLUB

What LONE STAR GOLF CLUB does

Lone Star Golf Club is a privately held public golf facility operating at 1510 Hawkins Blvd in El Paso, Texas, on a single 18-hole course designed by Marvin Ferguson in 1975. The course measures up to approximately 6,700 playing yards and is characterized by 1,300+ mature trees, three lakes, 22 bunkers, a fully lit driving range, and two lighted chipping and putting greens. The club is positioned as a "country club atmosphere at public course prices" facility, with weekday green fees at $33 and weekend green fees at $43 (plus cart fees), and is located minutes from El Paso International Airport.

The business is multi-stream and direct-to-consumer. Revenue is generated through green fees and cart rentals, pro shop merchandise from major brands (Callaway, Titleist, Scotty Cameron, Cleveland, FootJoy), club rentals and fittings ($30–$85), private lessons with PGA Professional Justin Ansara ($60 per 45-minute session), the on-site Sandtrap restaurant and bar, Men's and Women's Golf Associations ($55–$65 per year with GHIN handicap), and event hosting for weddings, corporate functions, and tournaments. Tee time reservations are processed online through the teeitup.com / GolfNow platform and supplemented by walk-in traffic.

The club serves three primary customer segments: general public golfers seeking accessible course play, event hosts (predominantly couples booking weddings and corporate/holiday gatherings) coordinated through an in-house coordinator, and competitive players enrolled in the Men's and Women's associations. It operates with approximately 15 employees under General Manager Justin Ansara, with named department heads covering golf operations, course maintenance, and restaurant management. The asset base is fixed and single-site, with no parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investment disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Troon Golf: Largest third-party golf course management company in the world, operating hundreds of public, private, and resort courses. Comparable as a broader incumbent that could acquire, manage, or compete with independent public courses like Lone Star.
• Pebble Beach Company: Iconic multi-course resort operator combining championship golf, lodging, and event hosting. Comparable as a broader incumbent demonstrating the scale ceiling of golf-plus-events business models, though at a far premium tier.
• KemperSports: Golf and hospitality management company operating a portfolio of public and private courses across the U.S. Relevant as a broad incumbent in the same operational category as Lone Star's golf + F&B + events model.

Direct peers

• Ascarate Park Golf Course: Municipal golf course in El Paso operating at public-access price points. Directly comparable because both compete for the same El Paso public-fee round and event demand.
• Painted Dunes Golf Course: Public 18-hole golf course located in El Paso, Texas, directly competing with Lone Star for the same local golfer base. Same desert-region operating environment and similar public-access pricing model make it the closest comparable.
• Butterfield Trail Golf Club: Public/municipal-style golf course in El Paso offering a comparable public-access 18-hole experience to local and traveling golfers in the same market as Lone Star.

Emerging players

• Topgolf: Entertainment-driven golf concept combining technology-enabled driving range play with F&B and events. Comparable because it competes for casual/recreational golfers and event-host budgets that historically would have gone to traditional public courses like Lone Star.
• GOLFTEC: National chain of golf instruction and club-fitting centers with PGA-trained coaches. Comparable because Lone Star's lesson and fitting offering (with PGA Professional Justin and Callaway/Titleist fittings) competes for the same per-visitor instruction spend.

Others

• PGA Tour Superstore: Specialty golf retailer offering equipment, fittings, and lessons across major U.S. markets. Comparable as an adjacent retail and instruction competitor for the same golfer wallet share that Lone Star targets through its pro shop.
• Golf Galaxy: Specialty golf retail banner under Dick's Sporting Goods selling clubs, apparel, and fittings. Comparable as a retail channel competing with Lone Star's on-site pro shop for equipment and apparel purchases by the same golfer customer.
