GOLF COURSE SERVICES:  New Golf Course

Golf Club Consulting, Inc. can provide the following services for new golf course.  We have worked on all sorts of new courses through the US, Hawaii, Central America, Japan, Southeast Asia, Guam and in the U.S. Virgin Islands. 

Below are offered services for a new golf course:


1.  Hire a GC Superintendent

   We are EXPERTS in identifying a person that has the potential to bring a club to the next level.

   Without a professional being involved in the hiring of a new GC Superintendent, there will be many drawbacks and potentially many costly mistakes for a club.   This is especially true when building a new golf course.  We can provide Agronomic Oversight before or while hiring the operational staff.

   There are (2) significant reasons for a club to involve us during the hiring of a GC Superintendent and they are:

  1. We can approach an employed GC Superintendent or Assistant.
  2. We KNOW what qualities the correct person needs to have to be successful in any GC Superintendent position.

  The drawbacks of NOT involving professional expertise are:

  1. The best person that applies for the job is not always the correct person for the job.
  2. The correct person might not know the position is open. (They aren't in an active job search, thus they don't see a job posting)
  3. The correct person might not even apply for the position. (This is especially true of employed individuals, because they simply do not want to jeopardize their present employment.)
