Investigate Competitors

Prior to launching a golf course management business in your area, it's a good idea to find out how you will fit in the competitive landscape. We've provided the link below to help you find competitors in your city. Just enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of golf course management businesses in your community.

How tough is the competition in the market you are considering? If the competition is too tough, you may need to think about starting the business in a different area or even start a completely different business instead.

Studying the Market

Once you've finished assessing the competion, be sure to learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. Local competitors are not going to give you the time of day, mind you. What's in it for them?

Fortunately, somebody who runs a golf course management business outside of your community will be much more likely to talk with you, as long as they don't view you as a competitive threat. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. It can take a while to find an entrepreneur who is willing to talk, but it's well worth the effort.
