Get Golf Ready at Private Facilities

There are numerous benefits for private golf clubs to become a Certified Get Golf Ready Facility. Building off best practices from private golf clubs hosting Play Golf America programs over the past few years, there are two basic options for success:

Get Golf Ready programs open to the public
Get Golf Ready programs available for club members only

Benefits for Promoting Get Golf Ready to the Public at Your Facility:

Great way to introduce new people and new members to your facility
Featured Get Golf Ready site listing on PlayGolfAmerica.com will differentiate your facility from others in the area
Increase golf and F&B sales through the lesson program and graduate outings
Potential to gain more tournament and outing revenue from a participant's company or work place
Increase teaching revenue for assistant golf professionals

Benefits for Promoting Get Golf Ready to Your Membership Only:

Opportunity to turn social members into full golf members
Promote golf to members that currently do not play much, i.e. spouses, family members, etc. Increase rounds played, golf and F&B revenues
Enables you to convert and repackage current group instruction programs to Get Golf Ready to entice new men, women, and juniors
Create a "Buddy System" that enables members and guests to go through the program which would develop a new customer and revenue stream for the facility
Graduate outings provide opportunities to increase events and sales for food and beverage
Host a branded program that provides marketing tools and collateral to promote Get Golf Ready

Best Practices:

Host Get Golf Ready for Women
Generate new golfer nights, new golfer leagues. Consider hosting the 90 Minute Golf League (i.e. promote to GGR graduates where they play for 90 minutes vs. 9 holes)
Offer new golfer clinics as part of golf outings, i.e. while players are on the course. Promote Get Golf Ready programs as a follow-up. Look to sell Get Golf Ready to a group of 8 people, vs individually
Promote Get Golf Ready to home owner within your residential community
Host Get Golf Ready programs to public on Mondays, i.e. days when the course is closed or slow
