The Golf Group is a seven year old management company that owns six courses, but operates seven in the North Orlando area. It is a full service management company which provides all management, sales and marketing,  grounds maintenance supervision, budgeting, purchasing and complete accounting .

The Chief Operating Officer of The Golf Group, Sam Floyd, has an extensive operations and management background. He has 22 years experience as an Operations Director in the Hospitality industry and 18 years experience as Director of Golf Operations in the golf industry.

The Golf Groups philosophy for Daily Fee, Semi-Private and Private golf course operations is simple, "Give the consumer a quality product at a reasonable price and provide an excellent level of service". We preach "Price Value" and "Lifestyle". In today's economy, the number one priority all consumers are looking for is value. Along with this philosophy, The Golf Group has identified six basic areas for concentrated efforts to help move clubs forward in today's competitive market.

·        Value: Offer a quality product at a reasonable price. Maintain your course conditions consistently at or above the perceived value.

·        Service: Customer service is the most important ingredient for success and promotes return business and loyal customers. A greeting from the staff with a smile is priceless.

·        Lifestyle: Promoting lifestyle, creative membership programs, personalized service and excellent course conditions, is the only way to succeed in the Private Club sector.

·        Management: Recruit and train qualified personnel and match their skills with the needs of the club.

The Golf Group is a hands-on operator that prides itself on keeping its thumb on the pulse of their golf club operations needs. We are always looking for innovated ways to market and sell our facilities to prospective members, tournaments, event/functions and daily fee customers. We are a promoter of sales rather than a cutter of cost. Anyone can cut expenses, but once you cut them to a certain point your product will suffer. To prevent the cost cuts from affecting your product, The Golf Group is continuously creating promotions and ideas to generate income, before that happens. "If you don't have a product to sell, you can't expect to compete".

Sam W. Floyd
