About Carlisle Country Club

Beginning on April 1, 2025, Carlisle Golf Group, composed of local business executives with a true passion for the club, acquired ownership. Like farmland and golf courses, you just can’t lose legacies like this 100-year-old club. It’s a real piece of the community, and I was blessed enough to be brought into it.” Mark Toigo, Carlisle Country Club member and member of the Carlisle Golf Group.

With the new ownership group, Carlisle Country Club will begin capital improvements and master plan development over the next 24 months. The clubhouse, which is the original barn that’s been on site for over 100 years, will receive a comprehensive remodel to create new spaces like for member and guest dining and entertainment experiences.

“We really want to modernize the club, shifting away from the traditional country club model and atmosphere to a more vibrant and modern club experience, attracting more youth, families, and young professionals,” said Toigo. “Like all capital projects, the clubhouse needs time updating and modernizing, bringing modern technology and design benefits. It will be a multi-year process that will be very exciting for the membership.

 The golf course will also be undergoing an immediate irrigation system renovation. “First and foremost, the somewhat antiquated and fractured irrigation system will require a full retrofit to restore the course conditions to the club’s high standards,” continued Toigo. “Adding course enhancements will be fun for members and create a new challenge. It’s a beautiful, walkable course with stunning views.”

Carlisle Country Club has retained Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design to consult on ongoing renovations, which aim to enhance the overall playability and member experience while preserving the club’s legacy. “We are very excited to be back in central PA and working with Carlisle Country Club to help them navigate these course enhancements over time,” said Jason Straka, Partner at Fry Straka Global Golf Course Design. “The golf course is a wonderful parkland design with many golden age architectural features that we hope to enhance over time.”

Excitement and anticipation from the membership is growing with the revitalization from the Carlisle Golf Group team. “We’re thrilled that the Carlisle Golf Group and the stellar management group it put together stepped up and committed to our goal to keep Carlisle a private country club,” said former Carlisle Country Club Board President, Denise Zimmerman. “The new team’s presence on the property has already begun to show noticeable improvements to all aspects of our member experience, and everyone is very excited about the club’s future.”
