NGCOA Partnership

Benchmark (Formerly The ORCA Report) has been providing occupancy, revenue, channel mix, and average rate per round information for golf courses since January 2016. Sagacity Golf currently provides reports to more than 800 courses in Arizona, California, Nevada, Illinois, Texas, Hawaii, South Carolina, Florida, and many more. This partnership will provide discounts on Benchmark reporting to NGCOA member courses across the U.S.

For contributing data to Benchmark, current NGCOA members will receive a free monthly rounds and revenue market benchmark report.

NGCOA members can upgrade to a report that includes more details, such as comp set information, barter opportunity cost, rounds and revenue by day, daypart & rate group, at a 30% to 50% reduction off retail rate.

Non NGCOA Members receive a one-year NGCOA membership with any paid Benchmark Report Subscription.

The NGCOA Takes Leadership Position

The National Golf Course Owners Association has been a proponent for the golf industry to organize a benchmarking platform.  Read CEO Jay Karen’s blog post.

For more than 30 years, the hotel industry has been contributing data to a trusted, independent entity, who in turn has been publishing a comparative benchmarking report.

The golf industry needs something similar to help it move the business forward by helping golf courses manage 3rd Parties, share performance with others and price tee time inventory better.

NGCOA has selected Sagacity Golf as the partner to improve the data collection and reporting efforts for all members of NGCOA. This decision by the NGCOA signals a strong move forward and improves data intelligence at the golf course level.
