Go Skers!!
So there has been talk about golf courses closing, and that golf is declining, and yada yada yada. I don't necessarily agree that golf is in bad shape, just normalizing after the big boom we had in the early 2000's.
So my question for you all is this, if you were asked to take over management of a course, how would you go about operating a golf course?
What would be your first steps in trying to generate more revenue? Do you go private? Go semi-private? Full public?
Do you worry more about clubhouse amenities at first? Or worry about course conditions?
If you focus on course conditions, do you look into possibly changing the layout? Or focus solely on condition?
If you worry about amenities, which ones do you focus on first? Food? Locker rooms? Showers?
I'll be honest and say that I think about these types of things when I go to a course. I look at what I think works for them and what I consider their best features, and then I compare that with other courses in the area and eventually think of how I'd run my own course. I think it would be really interesting to hear how people from different parts of the country would run a course.
