Van Patten Golf Club

What Van Patten Golf Club does

Van Patten Golf Club, operating under Country Club Golf, LLC, is a privately owned, public-access 27-hole golf facility located in Clifton Park, New York (Southern Saratoga County), approximately 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs. Built in 1968, the course features large mature greens, sloping wide fairways, and a 15,000 sq. ft. Grand Clubhouse (The Vista) that opened in 2004. The club is currently undergoing a master course renovation and redesign guided by Rees Jones, Inc. ('The Open Doctor') under a long-range plan dated November 2021, with the goal of repositioning the property as a premier regional golf venue.

The business operates a multi-revenue hospitality model that combines golf, food and beverage, banquets, indoor simulators, and programming. Core golf revenue comes from public tee time bookings (via the ForeUp online platform), annual and seasonal memberships, league play, junior golf programs led by PGA Director of Golf Bob Kennedy, and golf outings for corporate and group clients. The on-site restaurant, Mixed Breed Brewing (which took over the former Cooley Kill space in December 2025), serves elevated pub fare and craft beer across lunch, dinner, Sunday brunch, and catering channels (dine-in, pickup via Heartland POS, and DoorDash delivery). The Vista Banquet & Events is an award-winning 15,000 sq. ft. banquet hall hosting weddings, corporate events, and social functions, with Kim Goodall leading banquet sales. The club also sells custom aboutGOLF curved-screen simulator suites (launched 2026 at $29,500 each) to external buyers globally and runs an annual corporate sponsorship program (2026 sponsorships confirmed, including Telisky Law).

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and predominantly regional, serving the Capital Region and Upstate New York. Booking, reservations, and event inquiries are handled through the website, walk-in Pro Shop, phone, and dedicated email contacts. The primary customer segments are public golfers seeking a country club atmosphere at public rates, event and wedding clients in the Capital Region, casual dining guests, junior golfers aged 8–15, and organized league participants. The company employs 11–50 staff and is centrally managed by a team including Director of Golf Bob Kennedy, Executive Chef Zachary Arsenault, Restaurant General Manager Mike Ryan, and Superintendent Mark Nichols.

Broad incumbents

• Pebble Beach Company: Operator of premium golf resorts including championship courses, dining, and event venues. Comparable in bundling golf, hospitality, and banquets, though at a far higher price tier than Van Patten's public-access model.
• TPC Network (PGA Tour): Network of tournament-caliber public-access golf courses operated by the PGA Tour. Comparable as a publicly-accessible premium golf brand with high-end event hosting and F&B that targets a similar upper-tier public/private customer mix.
• Invited (formerly ClubCorp): Largest owner-operator of private golf and country clubs in the U.S. Comparable as a multi-vertical golf, dining, and event operator—though private-member rather than public-access—offering a benchmark for membership and banquet economics.

Emerging players

• Topgolf: Tech-enabled golf entertainment venue operator combining golf play, F&B, and events under a single roof. Comparable as a competing destination for casual golfers, leagues, and private/corporate events, especially around Van Patten's simulator and event businesses.
• X-Golf: Golf simulator manufacturer and franchise operator of indoor golf simulators and lounges. Comparable as a competing simulator technology brand and as an indoor-golf entertainment model that overlaps with Van Patten's indoor simulator offering.
• Drive Shack: Operator of golf-entertainment venues (Toptracer Range and Puttery) combining golf play with F&B and event programming. Comparable as a newer-format golf-and-hospitality competitor pitching to casual players and event clients.
