Stone Harbor Golf Course

What Stone Harbor Golf Course does

Stone Harbor Golf Club is a private, membership-based 18-hole championship golf club founded in 1988 and located on over 350 acres in Cape May Court House, New Jersey, minutes from the South Jersey beaches. The club is owned and operated by Heritage Golf Group through its legal entity HGC Stone Harbor, LLC, and employs 51-100 staff. It serves primarily affluent individuals and families seeking an exclusive private golf and social club experience, with secondary segments including couples hosting weddings and corporate clients booking events and golf outings.

Its core offering is the recently renovated 18-hole championship golf course — redesigned with input from architect Tyler Rae and reopened in May 2025 after a four-year transformation featuring tee box upgrades, bunker redesigns, hole reshaping, and a new state-of-the-art irrigation system installed across all 18 holes. Supporting assets include an award-winning clubhouse with the Lakes Dining Room and Patio Terrace, practice facilities for driving/chipping/putting, and event venues for weddings, corporate gatherings, and private golf outings, the last coordinated by PGA staff.

The revenue model is hybrid and recurring-leaning: annual private golf memberships bundled with Links Club at Stone Harbor social and dining privileges generate subscription/recurring revenue, supplemented by member dining services and professional-services revenue from weddings, corporate events, and tournaments. The club's GTM is sales-led and event-driven, relying on member referrals, website inquiry forms, and direct outreach rather than third-party distribution. Pricing, membership dues, and member counts are not publicly disclosed, and the operation is regional (East Coast, USA) with no disclosed plans for geographic expansion.
