MASHPEE, Massachusetts – The Club at New Seabury, a 36-hole, luxurious golf and beach club on Cape Cod, has been purchased by Concert Golf Partners, a privately held company based in Orlando whose portfolio includes 39 upscale private golf and country clubs nationwide.
With the addition of the 300-acre seaside club — once famously described by legendary amateur and 1913 U.S. Open Champion Francis Ouimet as the “Pebble Beach of the East” — Concert Golf’s family of clubs now stretches coast-to-coast from the Monterey Peninsula to Cape Cod. The property has been on the market for sale since early 2024 and according to real estate sources and the company that listed the property – Leisure Investment Properties Group – the sale price was just over $60 million.
Located on Upper Cape Cod, about 90 minutes from Boston, The Club at New Seabury features world-class resort amenities and spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and Martha’s Vineyard — with nine holes running along Nantucket Sound. This is Concert Golf’s second club in New England having bought Blue Hill Country Club in 2015. Just before Covid in 2019, Concert President & CEO Peter Nanula had an opportunity to purchase famed Pleasant Valley Country Club for $4.5 million but he decided that the Worcester area was not suitable with the company’s business model. Since 2024 the initiation fee at Club of New Seabury was $90,000 with annual membership dues $18,000.
The purchase represents the largest acquisition ever for Concert Golf portfolio. Other upscale private clubs purchased by Concert Golf over the past year include: The Club at SpurWing (near Boise, Idaho); The Georgia Club (near Athens, Georgia);Golf Club of the Everglades (in Naples, Florida); and TPC Jasna Polana (in Princeton, New Jersey). Other high-end properties include The Muttontown Club on Long Island; Gaillardia Country Club in Oklahoma City; Glen Oaks Country Club in Des Moines, Iowa; andThe Club at Pasadera in Monterey, California.
“To add an oceanfront club of New Seabury’s caliber speaks to the premium level that Concert Golf Partners portfolio has ascended, and the trust home developers, private owners and club members put into our commitment to annually reinvest capital into our family of premier private clubs,” said Concert Golf Partners Senior Vice President Jordan Peace. “We’re honored that the IE Homes, Clubs and Resort’s team, led by Co-CEO Chris Card, selected Concert Golf to be their successors at this one-of-a-kind flagship property on Cape Cod. This is another powerful example of how Concert pursues the country’s best private clubs.”
The Club at New Seabury employs a staff of over 500 people during peak season, who are joining the Concert Golf Partners team. Club at New Seabury was owned by billionaire investor Carl Icahn who bought the property out of bankruptcy in 1998. Concert Golf Partners was founded by Peter Nanula, former Founder and CEO of Arnold Palmer Golf Management, and Susan Dunnavant, Co-Founder and COO, in 2011.
“Any time there is a significant change at the club where you’ve been a member for years—one that is deeply part of you and your family’s life—you naturally take time to assess and discover more,” said The Club at New Seabury Board of Managers President, Ralph Lepore. “As we have come to know the team at Concert Golf, we have become quite confident in Concert’s long-term vision for the Club, and we anticipate that the Members of New Seabury will share our confidence, as they learn more about Concert and have had the opportunity to work with them going forward. We’re particularly excited about the capital improvements they plan to make annually to increase the value and enjoyment of the Club for our loyal membership. We look forward to a mutually beneficial relationship with Concert Golf over the next many years.”
Membership at New Seabury provides for a Cape Cod vacation lifestyle, with views of Martha’s Vineyard. The club features two championship golf courses—the Ocean Course and Dunes Course—designed by William Mitchell in 1962, and later renovated by Rees Jones, Greg Muirhead and most recently, Bruce Hepner. The marquee, par-72, Ocean Course delivers a rating of 75.7, and a slope of 136 across 7,131 yards, with nine holes that trace the seashore.
