Strategic Planning
Whether your club is new or has a long history of operations, there are clear benefits from the creation of a Long-Range Strategic Plan. Our team can assist you in all phases from upfront meetings to identify and discuss issues, to creation of membership surveys, to survey tabulation and data analysis, and finally, interpretation, recommendations and discussion of the future direction of the club based on the majority of members' wishes as well as considering key industry issues. Our team has performed strategic plans for many of North America’s best-known private clubs.

Our plans are not only survey driven, we provide detailed consultation and focus groups with membership groups concerning all aspects of the private club, be it capital funding, operational analysis, governance considerations and organizational structure, access to the tee, membership structuring, and financing issues for private clubs. All of the subcomponents of this overall service can be contracted as a separate stand alone service as well.

Clubhouse Consulting
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.

Our market studies enable our clients in a variety of areas such as: positioning of a newly built club, re-positioning of an existing club, pricing considerations, comprehensive competitive analysis and understanding, competitive segmentation, product differentiation, and service understanding.

Whether you are pricing and launching a new membership program, analyzing up coming pricing for the new season, or creating a business plan for your new club in positioning it appropriately within the marketplace for maximum success, Global Golf Advisors is the source for professional market analysis and studies.
