My Golf Course Review and Analysis

Request a Site Visit and Review Here

I found many smaller golf course operations like nine-hole courses, municipal courses, and country courses could not afford high-dollar experts to review, analyze and make recommendations to improve, sell or lease their golf course businesses. Unfortunately, they are the golf courses that need me the most and the clubs I feel I can help the most. I enjoy the work so much in the last few last years I decided to reduce the fee to an affordable level - only $2,500.00 plus expenses (see choices below). In the past few years I've sat in with the board of directors, private owners, bankers, lenders, and potential buyers.

The basic fee for a site analysis is $6,000.00, plus expenses for travel, accommodation, ground transportation (auto rental) for a

OUR DISCLAIMER

GOLF COURSE SITE ANALYSIS $2,500.00 - A TYPICAL ASSIGNMENT COMPLETED IN 3 DAYS including travel. A Golfmak Golf Course Review includes a brief written report delivered by Email.

WRITTEN REPORT : A written report will be delivered within 10 days of an on-site review. Our analysis and cash flow projections are accepted by major golf course lending sources.

LEAD TIME: Allow up to fifteen-days advance notice to confirm a Golfmak assignment. Shorter lead times will be accommodated when feasible.

PAYMENT OF FEES: NEW: As many clubs that need my kind of service are strapped for cash, I offer a split payment plan: $1,500 up front upon booking the assignment, the balance of $1,000 upon delivery of the written report. If client is paying the expenses I require evidence of fully paid travel, site transportation, and accommodation - if overnight is required - confirmation before an assignment is confirmed. All fees are paid via PayPal.

GUARANTEED USEFUL: I guarantee to provide a reasonable and useful service to you and your golf facility. If you are unsatisfied with my work, simply demand refund of my fee (excluding travel and accommodation) before I leave the premises. Your $2,500.00 will be returned immediately.

WHAT DO I LOOK FOR? You might be surprised at my attention to detail - and how quickly I can spot underlying problems. We do a walk about inspection of the golf course, the maintenance facility, maintenance equipment, and irrigation system. I review the daily activity reporting system, the kitchen, and marketing strategies. I review merchandising activity, tee-sheet management, and player service practices (starters, rangers, etc.). I observe employee habits and behavior. I conduct a local competitive analysis (usually completed before I arrive at the site). In most cases, because I often focus on overlooked or missed revenue or concession opportunities, the cost of my site review can pay for itself almost immediately!

THE REPORT: The written report is delivered by Email within ten days. It is a candid summary of our review of the subject, plus any recommendations I may have.

DISCLAIMER: My review and analysis of a golf course property is supported entirely by my 65-years experience in golf - refer to my resume and references. My report is designed to provide a board of directors, a bank, a golf course operator, a potential buyer, or potential lender with an assessment of the subject golf facility for assistance in making decisions. We (I) will not patronize our client, rather, we report on what we see and our dialogue is entirely our opinion. Fees paid to Golfmak, Inc. are for knowledge, time, and effort only. Client is advised to seek professional advice for legal and accounting matters.
