"Your golf course design solutions helped us make operating decisions that could previously only have been made after the course was built, and by trial and error."

Analyzing the Business Impact of a New Course Design

During the design phase is the perfect time for owners and future operators to use Pace Designer Systems® to analyze the business impact of alternate routings to determine the best design from both a playing and business perspective.

The actual course design has a direct and lasting impact on the time to play, the flow of play, and the ease or difficulty course operators will have in providing consistently high quality golfing experiences to their customers day after day for the life of the course.

Our Pace Designer Systems® analysis is a three-phased program that will guarantee a smooth pace of play from the outset, maximize course revenue and yield, and reduce operational costs, by designing sound start-up business and management practices and implementing training for your new staff.

On opening day, you'll be ready to establish your high-quality, high-value reputation.

Our program helps you develop sound business decisions by focusing attention on:

  • The impact of the routing(s) on revenue generation and golf product quality
  • The impact of early management decisions on course utilization and staffing
  • The impact of day to day operational practices on the quality and value of the golfing experience as will be perceived by future customers or members
