Update: 2025-01-10
Description
Spencer Potter, Founder/CEO of ClubGrub joined Rob Thomas on the Club + Resort Talks podcast to discuss the evolution and benefits of ClubGrub, a mobile ordering platform tailored for golf courses. ClubGrub, which integrates with existing POS systems, allows golfers to order from the clubhouse or snack bar via a user-friendly app, enhancing convenience and profitability for clubs. Potter highlighted that more than 95% of orders no longer include hot dogs, with golfers opting for fresher, more elevated menu items. The platform has led to a 30-45% revenue increase for many clubs. Potter emphasized the importance of user-friendly technology and the potential for future advancements like autonomous delivery.
Thomas also covered some recent news from across the club and resort industry, including:
Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro, N.C., enlisted golf course architect Kris Spence to redesign the course in a manner that brings it stylistically closer to a course from 1931. In addition to a new state-of-the-art irrigation system and upgraded drainage, environmental sustainability is a top focus.
Winnetka (Ill.) Golf Club earned designation as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary, highlighting the club’s commitment to wildlife conservation, sustainable maintenance practices, and environmental education. “Our team has worked tirelessly to enhance natural habitats, support pollinators, and implement eco-friendly practices across the course,” says Andrew Garner, Director of Agronomy at Winnetka Golf Club.
Desert Dunes Golf Course in Desert Hot Springs, Calif., closed. It struggled with environmental and structural hurdles throughout its history, while the course’s infrastructure required significant and costly maintenance.
