Start A Golf Course Business

If you are a golfer, it is easier to fall in love with owning a golf course. A golf course business can be a passive idea and a great retirement plan.

To start, you can purchase a ready golf course. Alternatively, if you own a piece of land, you can do your golf course. The golf course is a passive source of income and similar to real estate, and its value increases over time. Therefore, the golf course business idea can be a profitable and secure investment.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a golf course business:

1. BombTech Golf ($12M/year)

Sully, the founder of BombTech Golf, came up with the idea for his business after realizing the need for premium golf clubs designed specifically for "regular" golfers. He started by wholesaling and building custom golf drivers, and after receiving his first sale notification while on a boat, he knew that he had found his calling. Sully then collaborated with engineering students at the University of Vermont to design his first product, the GRENADE, and launched his online store by involving his small audience in the design and production process. With a focus on Facebook marketing and building a loyal customer base, BombTech Golf has enjoyed success, and Sully now works only 2-4 hours a week on the business, allowing him to pursue other ventures like his consulting business, EcomGrowers.com.
