Our Specialties
Golf Course Operations
Every aspect of the golf operation is critical to the success of your course or club. The Forewinds approach is to ensure that golf operations is simply a component of the overall hospitality strategy. It begins with how the club presents itself online, how the phone is answered, and those first impressions at the bag drop. From there, every aspect of the guest experience requires scrutiny – tee sheet management, upselling opportunities, merchandise sales, data capture, and so much more.
Guest Service & Education Programs
Forewinds can help you identify all the touchpoints of guest service excellence – for golf, weddings, dining and all other aspects of your course or club – and ensure that each instance is an optimal service opportunity. First impression elements like the bag drop, practice facility, Pro Shop, convenience cart and Pub/Snack Bar all the way throughout restaurant servers, bartenders, and special event staff are reviewed and tuned for maximum impact on guest service.
Food & Beverage Programming
Member/Guest Dining – Developing strategies for member and guest dining can be one of the most critical and underappreciated aspects of golf courses and clubs. Often, restaurants and other dining outlets can be seen as potential loss leaders, necessary services that exist only to serve the dues line or other revenue stream. In other cases, aiming for degrees of profitability can be a better strategy. Either way, careful management of food costs, labor costs, waste reduction, vendor selection and service training can make an immediate impact on your guest satisfaction and bottom-line success.
Weddings, Social and Corporate Events
While golf participation, memberships, golf outings and instructional programs can impact a certain percentage of your potential member or customer base, weddings, banquets and celebrations of all types can dramatically impact your club’s or golf course’s financial and overall health. Forewinds Consulting can assist you with the growth and development of weddings, meetings, events and celebrations of all styles. These events will help you utilize your spaces, cross market golf and non-golf clients, and dramatically widen your reach. Whether your facility is trying to build banquet business from the ground up, or simply wants to refine and amplify this aspect of your operation, the Forewinds Team can help guide you through this process.
Sales & Marketing
There’s nothing as impactful to driving topline revenue, not only for the property, but for each and every individual budgeted department. These efforts will support golf and club operations and any food and beverage interests associated with the property both onsite and offsite. Whether it’s printed materials, traditional advertisements, e-mail-based marketing, social media strategies, public relations efforts, or advancing the performance of a sales team, Forewinds Consulting can work with your existing people and add or modify the personnel to maximize each sales and marketing opportunity.
Agronomic Consulting
The science of promoting, maintaining, and improving turf health and the overall playability of your golf course is one of the hardest but most rewarding aspects of the business of golf courses and clubs. It requires a multi-faceted approach – balancing the economics, the environmental stewardship, innovation must all intersect for your club or golf course to achieve success. In some cases, new strategies must be employed to deliver the course conditions required under challenging financial realities. In other instances, core fundamentals can be solidified, or special projects designed to reach the desired outcome.
Human Resources & Onboarding
Onboarding Support – Identifying, qualifying, and onboarding the best available talent is critical for every department. Forewinds can help guide your club or course through the increasingly difficult landscape of building an effective team. Whether it’s front-line seasonal help or department head level management needs, the time, cost, and potential pitfalls of talent acquisition can be made managed effectively with a proven partner.
