The end of the year is closing in. By now, you’ve probably jumpstarted your year-end review and maybe even started to tackle some short-term planning. Before you pop the champagne, there’s one more thing you can do to ensure the new year is off to a good start — a thorough golf course equipment assessment.

BrightView Golf Maintenance has entered into a long-term maintenance partnership with the award-winning The Golf Club at Cuscowilla in Eatonton, Ga.

Glendora Country Club was starting to lose members while goals for the golf course weren't being met. Within two years, BrightView was able to get 95 percent of the turf conversion completed, saving money in water and seed purchasing. The changes to the club has seen an improved overall efficiency of 20 to 30 percent.

It’s a different world in the golf industry these days — the competition for members and tee times is on the rise. Moreover, players are demanding better and better play conditions. It’s a tough environment for everyone in the industry. Controlling costs while maintaining consistently excellent conditions is more important than ever.

BrightView's Golf Course Maintenance brought the Anaheim Hills Golf Course up to the Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary standards.

The greens are the most expensive asset on your golf course. Renovating a single green can cost upwards of $35,000. Consequently, like many club managers, you may opt to settle for inconsistent greens conditions, renovating only when conditions become unplayable. What you may not know is that there's an easier — and far more cost-effective — solution and all it involves are small changes to your yearly maintenance program.

Summertime is full of highs, including high temperatures. Don’t let hot weather get the best of your course. Follow these tips from Dr. Todd Bunnell, BrightView's in-house PhD agronomist, to avoid golf course wilt and be sure your turf doesn’t suffer summer stress.

In the golf world, competition isn't just on the course — it's going on between clubs as they compete for members and guests. What are the secrets to rising to the top?
