Golf Operations Specialist - Mike Orloff

Mike Orloff, a US and Australian PGA Member, has 20 years of experience with two of the biggest international golf management companies - American Golf Corporation and ClubCorp, for various levels of facilities from 2-star to 5-star operations in the USA and Australia.

Multi-course operators like ClubCorp and American Golf have access to a pool of shared knowledge and expertise. This results in cost-effective policies and procedures that can make all the difference to an individual club's success. Now Mike is offering the experience, knowledge and tools he has gathered over almost two decades in the USA and Australia to stand-alone clubs throughout Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia.

The programs and systems Mike helped develop for Australian golf facilities over the past several years have resulted in positive outcomes for properties he managed including: Lakelands Golf Club, Robina Woods and The Colonial on the Gold Coast; North Lakes in Brisbane; Horizons Golf Resort on the NSW Central Coast; and Club Pelican on the Sunshine Coast.

Currently Mike lectures for the PGA International Golf Institute and writes articles on golf operations and other industry topics for Inside Golf, Golf Inc, Asian Golf Business and various other publications around the world.
