Golf Course Challenges
Declining Participation
Fixed Costs & Land Use
• Profitability at golf courses relies heavily upon marketing efforts and efficient operations due to fixed costs such as mowing, fertilizing, maintenance, etc.
• Land use restrictions and water consumption regulations make it difficult for new courses to get started, not to mention the average of $10MM in capital start-up costs
• The U.S has lost 5 million golfers over the past 10 years • A recent study conducted by the National Golf Foundation found the
following as reasons why those who didn’t golf, chose not to golf: • Equipment is too expensive
• Greens fees are too expensive
• The game is too hard to pick up
Declining participation and business barriers
The easiest and most effective way for courses to combat this is to partner with marketers
This means existing courses have an opportunity to gain share against competitors by improving foot traffic
