Learning More About the Industry
If you are interested in starting a golf courses and country clubs business, it's essential that you learn as much as you can from somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. It'd be crazy for them to teach you the business.

In that case, the business owner may be more than happy to discuss the industry with you.

Gaining Access to Golf Courses & Country Clubs Business Ownership
