Martindale Country Club

What Martindale Country Club does

Martindale Country Club is a privately held, semi-private 18-hole championship golf club founded in 1921 and located at 527 Beech Hill Rd, Auburn, Maine, roughly 1.9 miles from Maine Turnpike Exit 75. The course features four sets of tees accommodating all ability levels, with the front nine (designed by Alex and Fred Chisholm) offering views of Mt Washington and the back nine (designed by Philip Wogan) running along the Little Androscoggin River. The club serves both members (over 450) and public visitors, and operates PGA-staffed golf instruction with video analysis and Trackman simulator lessons.

The business generates revenue from multiple streams: recurring golf memberships, one-time green/cart fees, professional lesson services, full-service restaurant and bar operations at Grille19 (open to the public), a seasonal Sims Restaurant & Bar during winter, indoor golf simulator bookings (publicly accessible), and tournament/banquet event hosting for up to 100 guests. The technology stack centers on the foreUP tee-time and member-login platform and three Trackman io launch monitors installed for the 2025/26 indoor season, combining radar, infrared, and high-speed imaging for real-time analytics.

Distribution is direct-to-consumer and regional, with online booking, an E-Club email newsletter, Facebook presence, and on-site event request forms. No parent company, institutional investors, M&A activity, or public listing signals were identified; the operation appears locally owned and managed, with 11-50 employees and a 2025 Privacy Policy noting CCPA compliance for the website and mobile app.
