Seymour Golf & Country Club

What Seymour Golf & Country Club does

Seymour Golf & Country Club is a private member-owned golf and social club founded in 1953, operating an 18-hole championship course on 130 acres of forested land at the base of Mount Seymour in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The club serves a defined membership base (capped at 450 Full Members and 165 Associate Members, plus Social, Junior, and Intermediate tiers) and generates revenue across six streams: recurring membership dues and amortized multi-year entrance fees ($90,000 for Full, $81,000 for Associate on 5-year installment plans), public green fees for non-members on Mondays only, pro shop retail and corporate branded merchandise, clubhouse dining and an award-winning wine program, banquets/weddings/corporate event hosting, and PGA of Canada-certified golf instruction across adult, teen, and junior programs. The club employs 120+ full and part-time staff and runs an 8-professional CPGA instruction team that has won multiple BCPGA and Canadian PGA awards.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lightweight: iGolfSystems handles public tee-time booking, Clubhouse Online powers the member portal, and DonorDrive supports charity pledge fundraising — there is no proprietary tech product or platform business. Distribution is direct, relying on in-person membership inquiries managed by a dedicated sales contact (Craig Lazaruk), member referrals, and community presence through the annual Seymour Charity Tournament (33rd edition scheduled July 9, 2026 with TELUS as title sponsor) and North Shore Mayors' Tournament (hosted since 2008). The club has positioned itself around a series of industry firsts — first Canadian Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary member (1992), first Lower Mainland gender-inclusive private club (1996), and National Junior Golf Development Centre (2015) — that underpin brand premium and pricing power.
