About
There are approximately 40,000 golf courses on the planet. The average club spends $27,000 a year on management software. A meaningful percentage of those clubs are running operations that would make a 2005-era hotel concierge wince.
Golf Club Ops exists to close the gap.
We're an independent resource for golf club operators — the GMs, operations managers, secretaries, and forward-thinking committee members who know their club deserves better technology, better processes, and better information to make decisions with.
We publish honest, specific, data-backed content about the reality of running a golf club in the modern era. That means operations breakdowns with real numbers. Technology reviews that don't read like paid advertorials. Strategy guides written by people who understand that "just upgrade the software" is never as simple as it sounds when a committee of twelve needs to approve the purchase order.
The resemblance is uncanny.
We believe the golf industry deserves better information. Our technology reviews are based on actual product analysis, real operator feedback, and hands-on experience — not press releases or feature comparison spreadsheets.
When we recommend something, it's because we've looked at it properly. When we criticise something, it's because the criticism is specific, fair, and backed by evidence. And when we make a joke about your tee sheet software looking like Minesweeper, it's because we've seen it, and honestly, the resemblance is uncanny.
Golf Club Ops is written by a team with deep experience across golf club operations, technology, and the intersection of both. We've worked with premium clubs in Australia and internationally. We've mapped operational workflows at some of the most prestigious courses in the world. And we've sat through enough software demos to know the difference between a good product and a good presentation.
Our perspective is shaped by hundreds of conversations with golf club operators — the people who actually do the work, not the people who write the brochures about the work.
We're always interested in hearing from operators. If you've got a story, a workflow horror story, or a question you'd like us to investigate — reach out.
No noise — just deep cuts on operations, technology, and strategy.
