About the Client

The Overland Park Men's Club (OPMC) is a public-course men's golf club based in Denver, Colorado, with roots going back to 1895 — one of the oldest golf clubs in the state. They host 8 weekend tournament days at Overland Park Golf Course plus 54 eligible tournament days across Metro Denver throughout the year. Their identity sits on three values: Camaraderie. Competition. Integrity. — and they actively position themselves against the exclusive-club stereotype, welcoming all skill levels.

01 / The Challenge

Where they were
before us.

OPMC was running a complex tournament operation — 8 weekend events plus 54 partner-league tournament days per year — out of a website that couldn't keep up. Every tournament announcement, member benefit, and partner discount was a manual content update that bottlenecked through a single board member. New member signups went through a PDF form. Prospective members landing on the site couldn't quickly answer the questions that mattered most: 'Am I welcome?', 'What's the schedule?', 'How does membership work?' The historical legacy of the club (founded 1895) and its inclusive 'all skill levels' positioning weren't communicated clearly anywhere online.

02 / Our Approach

What we
actually did.

1

Built the site on WordPress — a deliberate platform choice for OPMC's volunteer-board content model. The board doesn't need a custom Next.js setup; they need a CMS their treasurer can update on a phone between rounds without breaking anything.

2

Custom WordPress theme designed around the club's three core values (Camaraderie. Competition. Integrity.) — clean, confident, and warm enough to read as welcoming to first-time visitors

3

Dedicated tournament management module: each event has its own structured page with date, format, course, registration link, and results. The board publishes a new tournament in under 10 minutes per event.

4

Online member signup flow that replaces the old PDF form — captures member info, handicap data, and payment in one continuous flow

5

Partner discount and member benefit pages that the board can update independently (Denver Golf Pro Shop merchandise discounts, Overland Park Tavern food/beverage benefits, etc.)

6

History and legacy treatment that surfaces the 1895 founding date as a credibility signal without making the club feel intimidating to new members

03 / The Solution

What we
delivered.

Full WordPress build with a custom theme and a tournament-management content model the volunteer board can actually maintain. Member registration completions tripled in the first season after launch (the old PDF form was a serious conversion killer), and the board now manages all 62 annual tournament events from the site itself without developer involvement. The site finally communicates the club's actual identity — 130 years of golf, all skill levels welcome — and reads that way to anyone who lands on it.
