Shadow Hills Country Club

What Shadow Hills Country Club does

Shadow Hills Country Club is a private, member-owned golf and social club located at 92512 River Rd in Junction City, Oregon, approximately 10 minutes from Eugene in the scenic Willamette Valley. Founded in the early 1960s on former orchards, the club became member-owned in 1986 when members raised $600,000 in pledges to purchase the course from Bohemia Lumber Company. It operates an 18-hole championship golf course (Par 72, 7,006 yards from the Black tees) designed by William Robinson, a 24-acre practice facility with three grass teeing areas and covered hitting bays, a 24,000 sq ft clubhouse opened in 2012, plus a pool, fitness center, and dining led by an executive chef. The club is Audubon certified since 2016 and received the Oregon Golf Association's Facility of the Year award in 2014.

The business model is anchored by recurring membership dues across three tiers — Golf Membership (full access), Junior Executive Membership (under age 36), and Social Membership (clubhouse access with limited golf) — supplemented by event hosting (weddings and corporate events up to 500 guests), pro shop retail, golf instruction using Trackman technology, and tournament participation fees. GTM is direct sales-led: prospective members engage through website inquiry forms or contact the Director of Member Services, while event inquiries flow through a dedicated Director of Private Events. Customer segments are families and individuals seeking a year-round recreational, social, and golf experience in the Willamette Valley.

The technology stack is intentionally minimal and operationally focused: a MembersFirst-built website serves as the digital hub for inquiries, member login, tee time access, and event registration, with Golf Genius integrated for tournament sign-ups. The Trackman indoor teaching studio and the MembersFirst member portal are the only notable technical assets. Operations rely on a staff of approximately 11–50 including a General Manager, Controller, Finance Manager, Director of Member Services, Superintendent, Executive Chef, Director of Private Events, and three golf professionals. The club has not pursued external funding, geographic expansion, M&A, or AI-driven capabilities, and remains a single-site operation.
