Golf Course Solutions – Providing options for your golf course management needs

POSTED ON December 22, 2021 @ 12:46 pm

The interest in playing golf has been on the rebound during the challenges of the pandemic due to it remaining an accessible sport for most states. Over the past 18 months several reports have indicated what the industry so long have hoped for; people falling back in love with the sport. Thus, for the first time in 21 years, Australian golf club membership has been back on the rise, as well as increased general rounds numbers.

However, while clubs are relishing the increased player rounds and rises in club membership numbers, this surge has now placed a firmer focus on playing conditions and added stress on maintenance programs. Many clubs are also facing job shortages for greens staff who lack the knowledge, skills, to address course maintenance issues and provide the level of course standard required by the increased demand. On top of that financing the right machinery must be addressed.

Club boards and managers, meet Golf Course Solutions – a one-stop-shop for your course maintenance and management needs.

**Golf Course Solutions who?**

Golf Course Solutions (GCS) is the golf course management division of Landscape Solutions and specialises in delivering complete course management options for golf courses to run at optimum efficiency.

The company has been operating in Australia since 1993, and the 27+ years of industry experience in commercial landscaping has enabled the company to develop smart, efficient, and cost-saving delivery methods benefitting any turf business, in whichever market.

The company’s aim is to help clients deliver a consistent and quality course for their members and guests and for the course to run to on optimum efficiency. To do so GCS provides a wide range of course and management related services, which can be tailored to suit any club or facility’s needs:

Golf Course maintenance
Golf course construction
Course Upgrade & Turf Renovations
Irrigation And water management
Horticultural Works
Environmental Rehabilitation

But why outsource when you can hire in-house?

With many clubs still reeling from the financial impact of the pandemic, and with maintenance costs steadily on the rise, staffing shortages, many clubs are at crossroads when it comes to the most cost-effective way to maintain their course at the best possible conditions for members and guests.

Managers and boards are faced with a decision:

Is the traditional in-house golf course maintenance model still preferable, or is it more cost-effective to outsource?

When outsourcing to Golf Course Solutions, clubs have access to a bigger organisation which has superior purchasing power for goods and equipment, and they can draw upon a wide team of experts such as landscape architects and arborists, whose knowledge and experience can be utilised if required. Our team of professionals have extensive experience in all the maintenance, renovation, and construction aspects of a golf course.

So, instead of driving club boards and managers mad trying to hire competent green staff which includes ongoing staff wages, insurances, long service and annual leave, superannuation, workers’ compensation, and training, GCS takes care of everything.

By enlisting your course maintenance to a specialist company like GCS, managers can focus on the income generating areas of the club and looking after member needs, whilst still knowing the course is getting superior care. The experience GCS has in the industry also shows that outsourcing minimises risks, results in happier members and players, and lead to increase profitability.

Thus, outsourcing course maintenance is the economically, smart, efficient, and effective decision for any golf club.
