WHY?

Our passion and purpose is to think differently, to change the status quo. Every day we strive to improve the profitability of our clients' golf courses.

Every one of the over 33,500 golf courses in the world is unique.

It is our opinion that few golf courses reach their full potential from the absence of a disciplined approach in understanding the fundamentals that ensure success.

HOW?

We believe there are seven principles that define the potential of every golf course.

Embracing those doctrines, we create for golf courses strategic business blueprints that are easy to understand and simple to execute.

WHAT?

Extensive research, golf course and consumer surveys, and partnerships with clients mold the insights, perspectives, formulas and methods that are the genesis for our intellectual creativeness.

If you are an innovator who is willing to brainstorm what is possible...

If you are an early adopter who likes to lead an industry by testing new paradigms...

Or, if you are part of the early majority that seeks to benefit and leverage the successful efforts of others...

Let's collaborate in partnership to bolster the net income at your golf course.

The Hurdles: We also understand that these are very challenging times within the golf industry. The game has peaked. Supply exceeds demand. Revenues are soft and expenses are fixed. Rounds are too long and lifestyles have changed. Ours is a time-crunched culture. These factors have a direct impact on the business of golf. With golf in a blustery swirl, vision is often clouded and execution dulled.

The stewardship of a golf course blends the interests of many groups. For a municipality, City Council, management, staff, golfers, and taxpayers have vested interests. At a private club, the Board of Directors, management, staff and the members have perspectives. Each group has a different view as to how the facility should operate. It is not surprising that people can see the same data and reach very different conclusions.

The Outcome: Our recommendations are founded on thorough research, our extensive experience with comparable engagements and working in unison with your management and staff. We excel at creating a consensus that solves problems and finds answers that are simple and cost effective.

What is unique about Golf Convergence is the depth and breadth of our operational assessments contrasted to the institutional boilerplate approach taken by other firms. What is assured, once retained, is that the depth and breadth of our review is unparalleled in providing you crisply the information desired to make an informed decision.

We hope to have the opportunity to glean from your experiences, to share our insights, and to enhance the strategic vision and financial viability of your golf facility. The timetable to craft a strategic vision is below:
