Feb 10, 2026

Panel Discussion Episode 3 of 3

Guests:

Tony Adams – Hospitality in Golf

In the third episode of our three-part series, we take a deep dive into the subject of investment and keeping your facilities fresh.

Joined by an expert panel with deep experience across golf operations, marketing, membership, service delivery, and hospitality, we explore what investment truly means in the context of golf clubs and how it can make or break your club. It also moves into some thoughts around the model of your club and how this will affect the ability to invest. The topics explored include:

What do the good clubs do and what do the not-so-good clubs do in terms of investing in their facilities?

Have you got an investment plan?

It all comes down to good governance and planning to ensure investment stays on track

Communication to members around investment

Are members and Boards still seeing themselves as custodians of clubs?

This wide-ranging discussion brings together a panel ideally placed to advise and guide clubs on one of the most important, and often misunderstood, elements of long-term success.
