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.

Marketing Plans
Increasingly, marketing of your golf facility is becoming more and more critical in reaching your customers and in attracting new business. With the competitiveness of the business ever increasing and intensifying, Global Golf Advisors has worked with its clients over the years to adapt and change their marketing strategies to meet the needs of the competitive landscape to help in ensuring preservation and expansion of market position.

Whether you are seeking plans related to attracting new members, repositioning your facility, or simply seeking more cost effective methods of reaching your audience, Global Golf Advisors can aid you in reaching your goals.

On-Site Monitoring – Construction Phase
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.

Integration/Planning of Golf Course 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.

Integration/Planning of Golf Course with Resorts
Considering adding golf to your leisure property or resort setting? Ensuring you are armed with all of the key information to make an informed decision in this regard is key. While golf can be a catalyst to certain resort settings, inappropriate planning and poor positioning can be critical errors that can be detrimental to your overall project. We at Global Golf Advisors have worked in numerous resort settings and have provided detailed advice concerning positioning of golf, pricing strategies, integration and operational management of golf in the context of the resort as a whole, and in understanding what you can expect for golf both in the context of driving demand for the resort and vice versa.
