Products and Services

Global Golf Advisors Inc. conducts diagnostic studies of golf operations in Canada and the U.S. The study (only available to participating clubs) evaluates, on a microeconomic scale, the key business aspects involved with the operation of public and private clubs. Participants in the study receive valuable benchmarking comparisons with clubs of similar size and type which can then be used in evaluating their businesses.

Sample Benchmark Findings: Green Fee RatesGolf clubs charge a mean net rate per round of between 70% to 80% of the mid-point of the gross green fee charged for weekdays and weekends. For example, if a course charges $32 on weekends and $28 on weekdays, the net rate per round will approximate 75% of $30, or $22.50. This is an important benchmark since it acts as an operational control, especially in a cash business and makes the operator focus on improving the net rate per round, not just increasing green fee rates.

Most operators take some form of credit card on booking and only give a credit if the round is cancelled 48 hours in advance. Some operators will give a "no show" a green fee for off-hours and others will give a warning. If it is raining, most operators will not cancel charges unless the course is closed; however, rain checks may be offered. For more information on our Golf Diagnostic Study, call 1-888-432-9494.

Global Golf Advisors Inc. has years of vast operational experience and background that can be of significant benefit to your Club, not just on a specific assignment, but over the long-term. With our breadth of experience in having served over 1,700 golf properties over the past 15 years, we provide leading edge management services for our clients. Our management service operates on a slightly different platform than a ‘traditional management company’ structure. We provide total integrated management software and work with your staff and management to execute an optimal operational program for success. Our annual fees are typically 50% to 75% below the traditional management company and we are only paid additional fees upon proven performance of our approach and improvement to your bottom line. This is our commitment and confidence in our ability to improve your returns on your significant capital investment.

Our management services are not only structured for high dollar golf facilities, but are scalable to any size operation for maximum improvement potential. In addition our management package is ideal for owner managed scenarios whereby retirement or succession planning issues are critical (i.e., your facility benefits directly from our vast experience worldwide and we can ensure delivery of leading edge solutions). Often strategies are in place in certain markets that have not filtered across golf facilities at large. With Global Golf Advisors, you gain the benefit of always being on the leading edge for both your customers, and management staff.
