Pompey Club

What Pompey Club does

The Pompey Club is a privately held, family-owned 18-hole championship golf course located in Pompey, New York, approximately 10 miles south of Syracuse. Founded in 1962 and designed by Hal Purdy of Kingston, NY, the club operates on a single 6,600+ yard, par-72 layout with five tee options and is currently owned and operated by Stan and Linda Gorman, who also serve as Owners/PGA Professionals. The course is supported by a full practice facility (driving range, short game area, putting green, practice bunker, grass tees), a clubhouse restaurant with bar and Friday Night Dinners, a pro shop offering club repair, and PGA-led individual and group instruction including a 1-week Junior Academy.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual recurring membership dues across roughly 12 tiers (Junior, Junior/High School, Junior Executive, Senior Single/Joint, Single, Joint, Family, Corporate, Non-Resident), supplemented by guest greens fees ($30-$50), cart rentals and seasonal cart passes ($900-$1,900), driving range tokens, GHIN handicap accounts, golf lessons, and clubhouse F&B. The club charges no initiation fees or assessments and offers a 10% cash discount for early payment. Customer acquisition is predominantly word-of-mouth and community-driven, with no third-party distribution channels; marketing relies on the club website and association memberships with USGA, SDGA, and SWDGA.

Operationally, the club is a lean six-employee organization with no proprietary technology stack, no mobile app, no API surface, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Reciprocal play agreements with approximately 26 regional golf courses and partnerships with USGA, SDGA, SWDGA, PGA of America, GHIN, and Folds of Honor define its ecosystem. The customer base spans individual golfers, families, corporate members (4-designee packages), and junior golfers, served through a sales-led, direct membership model in the Central New York market.
