Summer is here, and your club’s outdoor spaces should be working just as hard as you are in the busiest season of the year.

Summer isn’t just about perfect play on the greens; it’s about creating a complete experience that keeps members engaged and coming back. This means ensuring every part of your facility — from the 18th hole to the poolside — is ready for peak performance. Efficient summer preparation is no longer optional; it’s essential. With spring in full swing, now is the crucial time to focus on enhancing your country club’s outdoor amenities for a successful and profitable summer.

Golf course management is a complex balancing act. Club operators must maintain pristine aesthetics, prioritise member safety, and carefully manage operational costs — all while managing a busy calendar of events. It’s a demanding role. However, with proactive planning and the right partnerships, particularly through a group purchasing organisation (GPO) like Entegra, your club can ensure its outdoor spaces consistently exceed member expectations.

Savouring summer: Al fresco dining and entertainment

The demand for exceptional outdoor dining at golf clubs is growing rapidly. Patios and terraces offer fantastic opportunities to expand food and beverage services and host memorable member events.

Expanding your culinary offerings: Outdoor spaces are ideal for summer cookouts, themed dinner nights, wine tastings, and elegant cocktail hours at sunset. You might consider upgrading your outdoor cooking capabilities with commercial-grade grills or wood-fired pizza ovens. 

Seamless service outdoors: Equip your staff with the tools they need for efficient outdoor service. Our supplier partners offer durable outdoor dinnerware, mobile serving stations, and other essentials to help you simplify operations. With the right setup, your club can fully capitalise on outdoor dining, increase revenue, and deliver memorable experiences for members.

The strategic advantage: Streamlining success with efficient golf procurement

Managing the many elements that contribute to an outstanding club experience involves working with numerous suppliers and often represents a significant investment. This is where optimising your procurement strategy through a group purchasing organisation (GPO) like Entegra offers a powerful advantage.

By leveraging collective buying power, Entegra secures negotiated pricing with a wide network of trusted suppliers. This simplifies procurement across all areas.

This strategic partnership streamlines purchasing processes, ensures quality, unlocks substantial savings, and ultimately contributes to smoother, more efficient operations. These efficiencies free up time and resources, allowing your management team to focus on what matters most: delivering an exceptional member experience.
