We’ve spent years working alongside golf course owners, operators, and industry partners. That experience shapes how we think, plan, and communicate and helps us avoid solutions that look good on paper but don’t work in practice.
Clients work directly with us and we do the work. This means clear communication, faster decisions, hands on supoort and an attention to detail that’s hard to replicate with larger agencies.
Golf businesses evolve both throughout the season and from year to year. We adjust strategies, messaging, and tactics as conditions change, rather than sticking rigidly to a plan that is seasonal or worked one year but not the next.
CK Golf continues to help golf courses to achieve their goals and tell their stories.

Prior to the launch of CK Golf Tara had previous golf experience as a Sales Manager, Golf Shop Manager, Marketing Manager and a Tournament Coordinator. Tara writes newsletter and website content for up to 15 courses every month, and still loves doing it after 18+ years. She is also our team’s travel planner and continues to live ‘location independent’.

Jeff Ciecko co-founded CK Golf with a passion for helping golf course owners and operators succeed. When his life was cut short, the outpouring of support and desire to honour his legacy sparked something bigger. The Jeff Ciecko Benevolent Fund was created to provide financial relief to NGCOA Canada member facility employees and their families facing unexpected hardships. That same spirit of care, connection, and community inspired the creation of the NGCOA Canada Foundation that now supports golf course employees in crisis, funds education for future industry leaders, and invests in the long-term strength and sustainability of the Canadian golf industry.
