You still have time to book onto the Golf Course Management for Golf Club Managers course at Moortown Golf Club.
Golf clubs where Course Managers and Club Managers work collaboratively are far more likely to achieve success.
That is the unanimous view of the Course Managers we spoke to about the importance of their relationship with their Club Manager.
With the Advanced Management Programme’s Golf Course Management for Golf Club Managers certificate taking place at Moortown Golf Club from April 29th to May 1st, we caught up with several Course Managers to find out why this is such a key issue for any golf club.
Callum Goodhind, Course Manager, The Wilmslow Golf Club
“For me it is an essential partnership at a golf club to ensure fluidity, success and job satisfaction. When a Course Manager/Superintendent works in tandem with a Club Manager, everything else speaks for itself, as these two pivotal roles at the club are therefore striving towards the same goals and success for the organisation.”
Richie Stephens, Course Manager at Vicars Cross Golf Club
“I believe a good relationship between Course Manager and a Club Manager is vital. It helps maintain smooth communications to and from golfers, enables quicker decision making on and off the golf course, can bring clubhouse and course teams closer, and can provide much-needed support and backing both ways for potentially the two most isolated positions in a club.”
Adam Lindsay, Course Manager at Banchory Golf Club
“As a Golf Course Manager, it’s essential for me to work closely with the General Manager to ensure a seamless experience for our members and guests. By coordinating on scheduling, budgeting, and events, we can maintain high standards both on the course and in the clubhouse. Our collaboration supports the overall success and reputation here at Banchory Golf Club.”
Stuart Adams, Course Manager at Cardigan Golf Club
“It is essential for everyone involved in running the golf club to understand the importance of the other cogs in the system and how it fits together. Ultimately we’re all a part of the same team, and in a football analogy, goalkeepers don’t score goals yet can play a vital role in the team’s success. It’s vital to understand, respect and encourage communication through the sections. Whether it be the bar, restaurant, pro shop, office, cleaners or ground staff, all sections need to overachieve for the golf club to overachieve.”
