The Municipal Golf Course of the Future!

Today, we’re excited to introduce the Course of the Future (COTF); a new tool that gives a glimpse of where golf course trends are headed in terms of sustainability and overall user diversification. This tool was developed by the ASGCA, in partnership with Best Approach, and highlights many of the ideas Staples Golf has been promoting for years: renewable energy, water harvesting, family friendly design, practice facilities, short courses, etc.

Since 2015, Staples Golf has been laser-focused on bringing you the latest trends, creative uses for golf courses, and recent developments in resource management. Our goal has always been to move struggling facilities closer to break-even, and to help break-even facilities become profitable.

Timing is Everything

We realize that more often than not, everything comes down to timing, so when you're ready for us, we'll be ready for you and your golf course!

Please remember, we present webinars at no charge to stakeholders who oversee facilities looking to improve. If that's of interest to you, please tell us about your golf course byclicking here.

Sincerely,


Andy Staples, ASGCA
