Private courses or the local tracks? As the number suggests, golf is, at its core, still a game played by recreational golfers on public courses. According to the National Golf Foundation, in 2020, there were roughly 16,100 courses at 14,100 facilities in the U.S. Of that total, 75 percent are open to the public: 2,500 municipal and 7,900 daily

Generally, a public course requires you to pay a one-time fee at the beginning of the season. At private clubs, payment involves an initiation fee, which is generally due at the start of the season. In addition, monthly dues are charged to members. Dues are a minimum amount of money required to spend months at the club.

Charging higher green fees to the public than municipal courses, semi private courses are able to maintain the fairways, tees and greens to a higher standard and will see less heavy play than a municipal or county course. The semi-private course will also have finer facilities for dining, practicing, lessons, and other recreational amenities

The benefits of public and private golf. I've always been both awed and intimidated by private golf clubs. In general, the members of private courses aren't better golfers - or better people - than those of us who play at public courses. But there's something about that exclusivity - the fact that they can tee it up on their course

Club professionals are employed by a club for the purpose of running the operation, teaching, directing tournament operations, or any other duties the club requires. They are employees of the club and their primary duties include any of the above. Professional golfers, by comparison, are independent contractors whose sole concern is their game.

It will depend upon how much of your salary you are willing to allocate, the rates offered by each course, and the quality of the facility. For serious players, the private club is a great getaway from the office, an opportunity for family time, or a place to network. For the newer player, the private club can seem intimidating.

Private golfers aren't the stereotypical "uptight" person and public golfers aren't slobs. Private golfers generally enjoy sharing their club with a guest, very few make you feel unwelcome. Most public golfers are courteous, but there are the few that don't have a clue. I enjoy my 2 clubs for a few different reasons.

I was thinking of entering the pga apprentice program, and I was wondering if anyone could assess the merits/pitfalls of becoming a teaching pro at a private course vs. a public one. I certainly prefer the thought of mainly teaching as opposed to spending the bulk of the day in a proshop office managing inventory or planning club tournaments.

For instance, credentials of the instructor and what a typical lesson entails. A better comparison would be going to GolfTec or going to a range pro that charges $100/hour. Most people I talk to say they have a better experience going to a $100/hour pro, rather than the 25 year old that GolfTec trained to use their equipment.

The pro at a private course isn't necessarily going to be better than one at a public course in this regard. You can have a professor at Harvard not be a better teacher than someone who teaches at your local community college.

Some of the most important benchmarking standards for public and semi-private courses relate to rounds of golf, revenues per round, and labour and other expense ratios. The following are a few examples of important KPIs by category: Rounds and Revenue. Naturally, a key measure of performance is rounds played. Beyond revenue, rounds played, and

I have noticed that in general terms the public / cheaper courses seem to be a lot more open and welcoming to guests and new players to the club than the more expensive and private courses.

However, public universities can have some drawbacks, including larger class sizes, which may result in less individualized attention from instructors. They can also suffer from bureaucratic inefficiencies, affecting everything from financial aid disbursement to course registration processes.
