What Toftrees Golf Club Inc does

Toftrees Golf Club Inc operates Toftrees Golf Resort, a 102-room full-service hospitality property at 1 Country Club Lane in State College, Pennsylvania, owned and managed under Shaner Group. The property combines an 18-hole, par-72 PGA-rated championship golf course spanning over 7,000 yards with hotel accommodations across six room styles, an on-site farm-to-table restaurant branded The Field (also known as The Field Burger & Tap), and 12,000 sq ft of meeting and event space including the Aspen Room, Silver Maple Ballroom, and the Aspen Retreat outdoor venue. Supporting amenities include a Pro Shop, an outdoor pool, fitness center, and event/catering services. The company operates a dedicated sales department for groups and corporate accounts, a Director of Golf (Steve Wager) leading instruction, clinics, and club-fitting, and an on-site restaurant with online ordering.

The underlying technology stack is a conventional multi-vendor hospitality and golf management setup rather than a proprietary platform: room booking is handled through the iHotelier system at bookings.ihotelier.com; tee time reservations run on EzLinks Golf at toftreesma.ezlinksgolf.com; gift cards are issued through CardFoundry at toftrees.cardfoundry.com; and F&B carryout orders are processed through a dedicated The Field ordering site. The website is built to WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility guidelines. Marketing and demand generation operate across a Facebook page, a Twitter account (@toftreesresort), and segmented Instagram handles for weddings, F&B, and the Pro Shop, plus earned-media placements including ESPN College GameDay, Big Ten Network's Campus Eats, TripAdvisor, and State College Magazine.

The business model is a diversified resort revenue mix across five streams: hotel accommodations, golf operations (tee times, instruction, memberships), food and beverage (The Field restaurant and banquets), event and meeting services (corporate, social, weddings), and recurring golf memberships with priority access and dining/pro shop discounts. Pricing is quote-based for groups and hotel rooms, with published per-golfer golf packages ranging from $164 (Par 4, weekday) to $480 (Par 5, weekend), inclusive of accommodations and meals. Customer segments span leisure travelers and golf enthusiasts, corporate groups and meeting planners, wedding parties, and Penn State visitors attending athletic events, graduations, and university programming — with proximity to Beaver Stadium and the Bryce Jordan Center serving as a structural demand driver.
