A Deep Dive into Financial Metrics
This comprehensive study will gather valuable data from participating facilities, focusing on income, revenue, and expenses. It’ll help in creating a confidential, 40-metric benchmark report. This report compares municipal golf courses to similar operations and highlights both financial and operational opportunities. The data collected will allow course operators to reassess their business strategies based on actual findings.
Real-World Impact
Take it from the golf division director for Salt Lake City, who shared how data from the previous study has been a game-changer for budget discussions with the city council, especially as the costs for water rise. All six municipal courses in Salt Lake City took part in the 2024 edition of the study, finding it beneficial for making important financial comparisons.
Benchmarking Success
Greenlight Advisors is on a mission! They will take the performance data from participating courses and apply it against industry benchmarks using their distinctive “Best-in-Class Report Card™.” This means facilities can easily identify how they measure up, and where improvements might be made.
Community Engagement and Support
To sweeten the deal even further, the NGCOA is offering the first 25 non-member participating municipal facilities a special Municipal Membership into its NGCOA Municipal Operators Community. This community aims to create a supportive environment for operators, offering forums and educational programming, both virtual and in-person, for shared learning and networking.
Save the Date for 2026!
Facilities that join the study will also have a golden opportunity to attend the Golf Business Conference 2026 in Orlando, Florida, taking place on January 19-21. This is a wonderful chance to expand knowledge and network with peers in the industry!
A Strong Partnership for Improvement
The collaboration between Greenlight Advisors and the NGCOA has been met with much enthusiasm, and feedback from previous participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Municipal golf courses looking to join the study only need to sign up using the provided link, and further details will follow upon registration.
Who Are Greenlight Advisors?
Founded by a team of CPAs, Greenlight Advisors began offering benchmarking services specifically for municipal golf courses back in 2022. Their unique approach helps improve golf management through insightful data capture and reporting.
