Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with member-owned clubs?
Yes. With the board and with the manager, preparing the plan or the investment the members will vote on, in language the members can follow.
Do you replace the club’s management team?
No. We work alongside the manager and the head greenkeeper. When a club needs someone in charge for a period, we offer interim management as a separate, defined mandate.
Can you help with a course we are thinking of buying?
Yes. We review the operation before the purchase: revenue by line, costs, the state of the course and the Clubhouse, the CAPEX that has been put off and what it would take to make the plan work.
