Wildstone Golf Course

What Wildstone Golf Course does

Wildstone Golf Course operates a single 18-hole, par-72 championship golf course located on rolling highlands above Cranbrook, British Columbia, in the southeastern corner of BC's Kootenay Rockies region. The course measures 7,127 yards from the Black tees, features A4/T1 Bentgrass greens and Kentucky Bluegrass tees and fairways, and was designed by Gary Player Design as the first Black Knight Design in Canada. Course architecture was led by Jeff Lawrence, Senior Designer at Gary Player Design, and the course has consistently ranked in SCOREGolf's TOP59 Public Courses in Canada (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021) and Top 100 Golf Courses' TOP100 list (2016, 2018, 2020). Golf Digest's Senior Architecture Editor Ron Whitten named Wildstone his 'favorite round of the year'.

The business operates a multi-stream revenue model spanning green fees ($65-$95 per round depending on time and day), power cart and equipment rentals (TaylorMade club rentals at $45, carts at $22-$31), practice range, a fully stocked pro shop, clubhouse restaurant and licensed Snack Shack (seasonal April-October), unlimited memberships ($2,642 single / $4,779 couple), Frequent Player Passes (10-pack $670, 15-pack $1,005), PGA of Canada instruction (Jamie Curiston, Head Professional), and tournament/event programming including Skins Night, Golf League, Ladies Night, and signature annual events such as Iron & Tin (16th Annual), 3 Person Scramble, and Thanksgiving Scramble. Operations run on the Tee-On platform for online tee-time booking, GolfGenius for league scoring, and a generic email newsletter system for direct marketing.

Wildstone sells primarily direct-to-consumer through its pro shop, online booking, and phone reservations, supplemented by indirect distribution through six lodging and resort partners (St. Eugene Golf Resort Casino, Prestige Rocky Mountain Resort, Northstar Mountain Village, Simply Kimberley, Trickle Creek Lodge) that bundle Wildstone into golf packages. The customer base splits between destination tourists visiting the Kootenay Rockies and local East Kootenay residents, with programming targeted at families and juniors (Junior Knights Program), women golfers (Ladies Night), and league participants. The facility is privately owned, employs 11 people, and reports no disclosed revenue.
