Interesting article.
The following quote is spot on and is relevant to a lot of comments on this forum , particularly the one about golf being in decline :-
"Over the next decade the strong will get stronger and the weak will simply disappear. Clubs like Canterbury have made a real effort to reposition themselves as a premier members’ club that is operated as a business with its stakeholders (the members) always in mind. All clubs need to look very carefully at their current business model, work out what their USP is and work out what their short, medium and long term goals are and not deviate drastically from them"

Thanks for that, well worth a read. I think my club has a reciprocal down there, have to give it a run when this

Give me shout, I'll take you round.
I’ll be honest. It’s a great summer club, better than my previous (Broome park). imo unfortunately they both suffer the same fault. Awful in winter. I’m not sure what courses he was referring to in regards to pricing strategy, but Imo 1k a year is a fair price there.
if it were playable year round, they could make a fortune.

It can’t be worse than Nizels in the winter, this course suffers very badly when it rains for a long period of time.

It's only really 3 holes that get closed off, unless there is a winter like last/this year.
