Food & Beverage Management
Overview
The modern golf club’s food and beverage offering has increased in importance over the last decade. For many clubs it now represents a considerable revenue and profit source. In some instances, it more than compensates for falling membership numbers and depleting green fee income.
Even for the private-members sector, an efficient and profitable hospitality product has allowed many clubs to invest in the club’s infrastructure – both in the clubhouse and on the golf course.
This new eLearning course is written by Steven Brown, FBII – the UK’s leading golf club food and beverage consultant and lecturer. It explores all the key topics to developing a hospitality angle to the club that adds value for the golfer and also contributes financially to the overall business.
