How to Manage a Multi City Golf Club

Learn how to structure a multi city golf club with chapters, local admins, shared memberships, events, and cross city competition.

Growth creates a strange problem. What worked with 50 golfers in 1 city can become chaos with 500 golfers across 5 cities. The answer is not necessarily creating 5 separate clubs. It is creating structure.

Parent organization

Keep the primary brand centralized. The member should still feel like they belong to the same larger community.

Local chapters

Each city can have its own local operation. That includes events, local admins, communication, and local experiences.

Give local admins control

The founder should not have to schedule every event in every city. Give trusted chapter leaders the ability to operate locally while maintaining the larger structure.

Keep the member experience connected

A golfer traveling to another city should not feel like a stranger to their own club. Their profile and club relationship should follow them where the organization allows.

Run cross chapter events

These are some of the most powerful events a multi city club can run. Championships, destination events, and annual gatherings bring the entire community together.

Parfour and chapters

Parfour is designed to help organizations grow beyond a single event calendar while keeping membership and operations connected. That becomes increasingly important as the community scales.
