The no-BS guide to running a modern golf club.

Practical intelligence for the next generation of golf club operators. Because your software shouldn't require a training webinar longer than your back nine.

You manage a multi-million dollar operation with software that looks like it was designed during the dial-up era. Your members expect Uber-level convenience, your committee expects 1970s-level costs, and your tee sheet expects you to attend a 47-minute certification webinar before you're allowed to make a booking.

We get it. Golf Club Ops exists because nobody else is writing honestly about what it takes to run a golf club in 2026 — the operational reality, the technology landscape, and the gap between what's available and what's actually good.

No vendor spin. No consultant jargon. Just specific, practical, occasionally amusing insight from people who've spent more time inside clubhouses than is probably healthy.

If any of this sounds familiar...

"You've processed a visitor booking using a combination of email, phone, a PDF, and a prayer."
"You've watched a new hire try to navigate your tee sheet without a 45-minute tutorial."
"Your banking app knows you better than your club's member portal knows your members."
"You've tried explaining to a committee why 'it works fine' isn't a technology strategy."

Then you're in the right place.
