Clubhouse Utilization Studies/Master Planning
With many clubs today having been built many years ago, and with the role of the private club changing in today’s society, many clubhouse designs and layouts provide challenges to the profitable operation of many clubs, particularly in the food and beverage department. Our team can assist your club with a clubhouse utilization study to determine the overall use of the interior of the clubhouse so as to maximize operating efficiency. Furthermore, we have experience in performing overall clubhouse master plans which aid the club in making difficult decisions regarding the ultimate future viability of the current clubhouse and whether reconstruction, refurbishing, or ‘mothballing’ with regard to the clubhouse will provide the most suitable short-term and long-term solution.

Real Estate Developer Exit Strategies
While many developers have successfully utilized golf within their communities, too often golf is not well planned in terms of exit strategy. Whether your golf project is public, private or a mix, proper planning for the ultimate exit from the golf course is a key consideration that is best addressed up front. Global Golf Advisors have worked with many of the world’s leading developers to create viable and executable exit strategies. Most developers do not wish to remain in operations of the golf course beyond the life of the real estate development, proper planning up front can ensure that you are not ‘saddled’ with the golf operation post development.

Business Planning
A key component for the success of any new venture or existing dynamic company is charting a roadmap to provide a plan for reaching your goals. Global Golf Advisors has provided comprehensive business planning and feasibility services to a vast array of golf properties worldwide. Our plans and studies bring together various components in a logical fashion to provide you with a detailed outline and roadmap for success. Our business plans and feasibility studies encompass a market study, a vision or strategic positioning analysis, detailed operational discussions, as well as financial feasibility or financial return analysis.

Long Range Capital Planning
Many private clubs across North America are experiencing the effects of a healthier and wealthier baby boomer generation. With the average age of the membership on the rise at many traditional private clubs, future funding of capital projects may be problematic. As the membership age increases, but turnover and attrition holds steady or declines over the next decade, clubs will need to assess their overall capital budgets and plans to ensure the future needs of the club are met. Our team can assist you in analysis of your current capital funding situation, analysis of your capital budgets, provide recommendations on prioritizing projects, and assist in creating innovative methods to raising capital necessary for the long-term health and success of the club.
