Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club Ltd.

What Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club Ltd. does

Willow Ridge Golf & Country Club Ltd. operates an integrated golf and hospitality facility in Blenheim, Chatham-Kent, Ontario. The core asset is an 18-hole championship golf course (par 72, 6,400 yards) supplemented by the newly introduced Valley 9, a 9-hole par-3 course. The property also houses a fully stocked Pro Shop carrying brands such as Nike, Adidas, Titleist, FootJoy, Under Armour, TravisMathew, Ralph Lauren, Sunice, and Levelwear, an on-site Pub & Grill restaurant and bar open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM, and an air-conditioned banquet hall accommodating 30 to 200 guests for events and weddings.

The company generates revenue across six streams: green fees and cart rentals, retail merchandise sales, food and beverage, corporate and social event hosting, wedding receptions and ceremonies, and mobile bar services through its Cocktail Coach brand. Pricing for tee times ranges from $20 (Valley 9 walking) to $75 (18-hole with cart), while Cocktail Coach packages are flat-fee offerings from $750 to $1,250. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via walk-ins, phone bookings, and third-party online platforms — Tee-On Golf Systems for tee time reservations and TableAgent for dining reservations. The customer base spans individual golfers, wedding couples, corporate event organizers, and local diners within Southwestern Ontario.

The facility is privately held with no disclosed institutional ownership, funding history, or public listing. Management comprises a CPGA Golf Professional (Chris Hill), Food & Beverage Manager (Shannon Thyssen), Executive Chef (Phong Inthachack), and Pro Shop lead (Scott Davis), supported by 22 total employees. The company has no mobile application, no public API, and no proprietary technology stack beyond its physical course and facility assets, relying on industry-standard third-party booking infrastructure for its digital touchpoints.
