KPI Golf Course Management:
A Data-Driven Methodology for Optimizing Performance

“We deploy golf course management solutions that help clubs operate sustainably and profitably, where otherwise they may fail. We believe that optimal performance means objectively evaluating what is working, what isn’t working, and to continuously prioritize highest impact activities based on facts. Operating less than optimally means missing critical growth opportunities, diminishing market share, reduced valuation, or even the club’s demise.”

The Secret Sauce

Empathy

Fully transparent discourse and open sharing of ideas is the only way to fully understand the challenges clubs face and to evaluate every possible alternative. It is critical that we become sensitive to your situation and the ecosystem in which your club exists. If we take you on as a client, we promise to deliver value in your exclusive best interests, and without consideration for our own best interests.

Alignment

Without alignment of goals and beliefs, uninspired execution is sure to sabotage the effectiveness of any long term solutions. Achieving 100% aligned objectives is critical in developing a culture of positivity, appropriate freedom to act, and speed. Everyone must agree that subjective practices are never optimal and that improvements are necessary for us to achieve stated goals.

Objectivity

If you want to win in golf management today, we believe you need to be utterly unromantic about consumer behavior and performance. You need to observe, analyze and adjust to where the consumer actually is, and what is or isn’t working well. Data enables us to definitively prioritize highest impact activities.

Why Does KPI Golf Management Exist?

The golf industry is experiencing gentrification right now.

Rich top-end facilities are getting richer (and more expensive) while the more affordable clubs are disproportionately going out of business.

It’s a call to arms where many stand alone facilities cannot compete without engaging expert help, economies of scale, and modern day operating efficiency.

Less than optimal golf course management can mean missing critical growth opportunities, diminishing market share, reduced valuation, or even the club’s demise.

Underperforming golf clubs can compete favorably in today’s marketplace, but they have to optimize operations. It begins with with addressing the low hanging fruit in financials & workplace culture, followed by deploying specific strategies for continuous refinement, and leveraging centralized resources at scale to compete long term. 

Common Questions

Why do clubs want to work with KPI?

In the golf business, we are hardwired to enjoy helping people. We enjoy what we do because ultimately we are serving a greater good – creating and saving jobs, building careers, reinvigorating entire communities, preserving historic facilities, and providing healthy environments for children and families.

When golf clubs prosper, many people benefit. When clubs struggle or go under, many more feel the impact.

Our clients enjoy working with us because we share in their beliefs in the critical importance of success. A healthy club means a healthy community, and better lives for those it touches.

We believe our skills, networks, and resources can help these community centerpieces compete and thrive. At the end of the day, people enjoy being around others who are passionate and who share common beliefs.

Golf Course Irrigation Expenses Threaten Existence of Private Club

The major elephant in the room was with golf course irrigation: This facility had to buy its water from the city as standard tap water. At the time, the irrigation water expense was $800,000 annually and growing - nearly $2,500 per golfing member. The prospects of survival was not good unless this issue could be resolved soonest.

Family Oriented Pivot: Research Exposes Underserved Private Golf Market

We understood that the "young professional family" demographic in this particular geographic region had been an underserved private golf market segment.

Municipal Golf Course Upgrade: Staffing, Real Estate & Loyalty Programs

This is a county-owned golf facility that was losing several hundred thousand dollars on an annual basis. Because of its municipal status, they couldn't make a great deal of money through the operation, but certainly didn't want to lose. We were charged with helping the facility break even.
