Palo Alto was looking to reduce costs for its two municipal golf courses and outsourced to BrightView. Though this, the city has a provider it can rely on for proactive communication and the day-to-day golf course maintenance, but a trusted partner who could help achieve long-term success.

Conditions at the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club were bad, with slow speeds on the greens, turf damage, and some even a bare green. That all changed when BrightView was brought on board.

The Villages Golf & Country Club's management knew the course could greatly benefit from an upgrade to its 50-year-old irrigation system. At the same time, club management wanted to ensure the installation would be done right, wouldn't disrupt play, and the installation crew would take course nuances into consideration - and that's why they turned to BrightView.

BrightView was able to produce consistent quality at a level of efficiency never achieved before in the golf course maintenance industry. They also assisted Pacific Palms with building their fleet of Club Car golf carts and replacing old turf equipment, leveraging our pricing advantages to save the club money.

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.
