For all you golf warriors, this is a must read. Thank you Andy Medici Boston Business Journal for a great article. Country clubs and golf courses are at a pivot point, and Blake Walker is banking that subscription models are the future of the industry. The veteran hospitality executive and CEO of the privately held Arcis Golf is bucking the idea that country clubs and daily-fee golf courses are inherently different. That’s why he formed Arcis in 2014. Over the past decade, the company — with the backing of Fortress Investment Group and Atairos — purchased nearly 70 clubs and has grown to about 6,000 employees. The company now holds a roughly equal mix of daily-fee courses and private country clubs that includes several high-profile courses, including Champions Retreat Golf Club near Augusta, Georgia, a 27-hole private course designed by Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. But it also includes public courses that many golfers frequent, including Angel Park Golf Club in Las Vegas and Arrowhead Golf Club in Littleton, Colorado. Traditionally, the two concepts haven’t mixed, but Walker is betting on a future in which people can move from one to the other as their lives change — and enjoy broader access than just their own local club or course. “My belief at Arcis’ inception (was) that there are far more commonalities than differences between daily-fee courses and private courses,” Walker said. His goal is to create an ecosystem that includes everything from entry-level to upscale clubs in every major metro in the U.S. The company has acquired and invested $100 million in dense pockets of courses around major metros. In 2021, he told the Dallas Business Journal, his plans to double the company over the next five years, through acquisitions and organic growth Walker's company is seeking to disrupt traditional models at an inflection point for golf courses and country clubs alike. Many golf courses have seen a surge of business since the pandemic, while a variety of factors have led several country clubs to close their doors and contributed to rising dues at others. #realestate #golfcourse #buyers #countryclubs

Here is a good article from Rick Young regarding two Canadian golf organizations of Golf PEI and Himalayas Golf.

How Living Near or On a Golf Course Elevates Property Prices For golf enthusiasts, residing in a golf community is an obvious choice. For them, having a property near a golf course equates to waking up and heading straight to the greens. Even those not particularly keen on golf often prefer living in a golf community due to its well-maintained landscapes and resort-like amenities. Clubhouses might offer dining facilities, fitness centres, swimming pools, or even a combination of these. The convenience of having such amenities close by typically convinces most people, and if not, the landscaping usually seals the deal. However, if we were to examine this from solely a financial standpoint, one might wonder whether living in or investing in a golf community is financially beneficial. How do golf courses enhance property value? Research conducted by the National Recreation and Parks Association has demonstrated that properties overlooking a golf course, even if not part of the golf community, enjoy 15-30% higher property values. Like all investments, the precise increase in your property’s value cannot be guaranteed, but properties in golf course communities typically experience an average annual value increase of around 7% above the usual rate. Despite some concerns regarding the perception of golf courses among new property owners, evidence suggests that potential buyers still regard golf courses positively when considering property purchases.
