Join Golf Life Navigators, Club Benchmarking, and StoryTeller Club Marketing for a 60-minute live panel built for forward-thinking club leaders who want to plan smarter, not harder.
What You’ll Learn in 60 Minutes:
Diagnose — Jason Becker, CEO of Golf Life Navigators
What 50,000+ buyers are signaling about demand, real estate, and how preferences are shifting beneath the surface.
Decide — Dr. Jim Butler, CEO of Club Benchmarking
How top-performing clubs are using data to defend pricing, fund capital projects, and manage board alignment with confidence.
Deploy — Ed Heil, CEO of StoryTeller Club Marketing
How the most forward-thinking clubs are mirroring the modern buying journey online, and turning awareness into measurable growth.
The Blind Spots Every Club Should Be Watching:
Many clubs look strong heading into 2026, but the numbers suggest a different reality.
Across the country, the clubs experiencing the most sustainable growth are those aligning real estate insights, financial strategy, and marketing systems with how members are buying today.
-
Nearly 50% of prospects now prefer living outside of gated communities
-
Culture ranks as the top reason to join - not golf or amenities
-
The average buyer takes 12–14 months to decide, and only the best-run clubs are staying visible through that journey
This is your chance to hear directly from the data sources shaping the industry, and leave with a clear, confident plan for 2026.
Sounds like fun? We think so!
Sign up for a 15-Minute Website Discovery conversation, and we will discuss:
- Does your current website’s messaging and visuals tell your story?
- Does your website act more like a static brochure than a helpful marketing resource?
- Do you have strategies for membership growth that drive leads?
- Are you choosing aesthetics over functionality?
- How easy is it for your prospects to get to know you?
We can’t wait to talk to you!
