About this course
A golf course economics course that runs the numbers of one fictional 18-hole club, Larchmere Golf Club, in a spreadsheet, for golf club managers, board and finance committee members, hospitality students and golf investors. You turn calendar days, closures and daylight into playable days and the season's round capacity, measure tee-sheet utilisation by daypart and colour the weak slots, calculate green-fee revenue, revenue per available round and the effect of dynamic weekend pricing, find the dues per member round and how often a member must play to beat the visitor fee, measure food & beverage and pro shop profit per round, cost course maintenance per hole, acre and round, apply wet-year and dry-year scenarios in a line chart, and build the club P&L with a capex reserve and the dues increase that closes the gap. Fictional club, illustrative numbers, with no affiliation with any golf association. The first lab is free.
