Membership Document Creation
The careful crafting of membership documents in the initial stages can mean all the difference in the world in the success or failure of the club’s membership concept in the short and long-term. Furthermore, carefully thought out membership documents are critical to ensuring appropriate exit strategy for the residential or resort developer creating a private club concept within their amenity package to the real estate offering. Lean on our experience with private clubs worldwide for the expertise in ensuring documents are comprehensive and strategic as well as ensuring the documents are in accordance with your desired vision for the club now and in the future. We have worked with many of the industry’s finest legal firms who also ensure that documents meet all legal requirements.

Clubhouse Consulting and Master Planning
One of today’s most costly components within a golf operation, both from a capital and operational perspective, is the clubhouse. Despite its significant costs and overhead, many golf properties continue to place little emphasis on ensuring an appropriate and functional clubhouse is designed (either in construction phases or during alterations) to meet the needs of your golf course and customer base. Gone are the days of ‘build it and they will come’. Today’s clubhouses must be functional, cost effective, and flexible to the needs of the golf course.

Global Golf Advisors has provided years of consultation concerning layout and functionality planning for clubhouses, capital budgeting, as well as analysis of existing clubhouses in determining the optimal courses of action to maximize utilization and returns on investment.

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.

Integration/Planning of Private Club with Real Estate
Are you considering adding golf to your real estate offering? In many cases, golf has proven to be a highly successful amenity or addition to a significant number of real estate based projects. However, there are many pitfalls that also must be avoided. Ensuring that golf fulfills its desired purpose within your development is key; however, this must occur without adverse short and long term consequences. Global Golf Advisors has aided many of the world’s largest developers in bringing to market real estate driven projects that incorporate golf successfully and provide for viable and executable exit strategies that are well thought out up front.

Building a new golf facility? Ensuring that you have an experienced and qualified project manager in place is key in the early and ongoing stages of bringing your golf facility to fruition.
