Lakeland Golf Club, Inc.

What Lakeland Golf Club, Inc. does

Lakeland Golf Club, Inc. is a privately held Ohio corporation that owns and operates a single 18-hole championship golf course at 1772 Kiser Lake Road in St. Paris, Ohio. Originally opened in 1964, the course was expanded to its current 18-hole championship layout in 2002 by owners Ron and Ana Burns, with design by architect Barry Serafin. The course measures 6,932 yards from the championship tees, carries a USGA rating of 73.4 with a slope of 135, and features five sets of tees, generous fairways, strategically positioned bunkers, and natural water hazards designed to be playable across all skill levels.

The business operates a horizontally diversified golf and hospitality offering centered on the course. Core revenue comes from greens fees (weekday rates of $20-$25; weekend/holiday rates of $24-$30) and cart rentals ($10-$15 per player), supplemented by usage-based simulator revenue ($30/half hour, $50/hour) from two Trackman Dual Radar bays, food and beverage sales from the on-site Pub & Grill and snack bar, retail sales from the golf shop as a Bridgestone and Titleist dealer with custom fitting and repair, golf instruction by resident professional Dave Hart, weekly league fees across men's, women's, co-ed, and senior formats, and packaged tournament/outing services at $45 per player. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer, primarily through the company website (with TeeItUp-integrated online booking), an email club newsletter, and an active Facebook page.

The club employs 1-10 people across golf operations, food and beverage (Dave Livingston), course maintenance (Tyler Wion as Course Superintendent), and instruction. It has no parent company, subsidiaries, institutional investors, or funding rounds. All operations are conducted from a single location serving a regional market in the Dayton/Columbus, Ohio corridor reachable via I-70 and I-75.

Direct peers

• Drive Shack: Owner-operator of golf entertainment venues (Puttery, Drive Shack) combining tech-enabled gameplay with F&B in social settings. Overlaps with Lakeland's simulator + Pub & Grill concept as a tech-forward golf-leisure operator.
• Topgolf: Tech-enabled golf entertainment venue chain with simulator-based gameplay and F&B. Comparable to Lakeland's combination of Trackman simulators and Pub & Grill, though at much larger venue scale and as a destination entertainment concept.
• X-Golf: Indoor golf simulator franchise offering simulator bay rentals, leagues, lessons, and F&B in a golf entertainment format. Directly mirrors Lakeland's Trackman bay rental + leagues + lessons model.
• GOLFZONE: Global indoor golf simulator and entertainment venue operator with bay-rental, league, and F&B offerings. Directly comparable to Lakeland's Trackman simulator bay model as a year-round golf experience provider.

Broad incumbents

• Arcis Golf: Owns and manages a portfolio of private, resort, and public golf clubs across the U.S., providing centralized services including F&B, events, and programming. Comparable operational scope to Lakeland but at portfolio scale.
• Troon: Largest third-party golf course management company, operating hundreds of facilities worldwide. Represents the institutional-management peer that a small public club like Lakeland could potentially partner with for outsourced operations.
• American Golf: One of the largest operators of public and private golf facilities in the U.S., with a portfolio of courses offering greens fees, F&B, retail, and lessons — a broader-incumbent parallel to Lakeland's full-service public-course model.
• KemperSports: Golf course, club, and resort management company operating public and private courses with full F&B and event programming. Comparable to Lakeland's integrated course/F&B/events offering but at multi-facility scale.
