CK Golf was created in 2008 because we wanted to help golf course owners and operators make more money. We could see that the industry was struggling and thought that our golf course operator experiences, best practices, proven strategies and passion could make a difference to some operations. Over the last 14 years we have worked with private, semi-private, public, 9 hole and 18 hole golf courses owned by single owners, boards and municipalities. We have provided golf course internet marketing services, strategic planning, sales training, event management and more. Our approach is unique.
We are not consultants, we are business partners with the golf courses we work with. We do not lease or own your golf course, we assist as an extension of your team. We help your team reach it’s goals and improve your financial position. We will work with you to grow your sales and revenue using best practices, internet marketing and a strategic business plan.
We have built a reputation through our hands on involvement during every phase of work for our clients as well as through our continued golf course industry involvement. Our extensive golf industry experience and connections enable us to fully understand a businesses need for creative and innovative solutions that are also practical, executable and measurable. We do our best to practice what we preach; to stay on top of social media and internet marketing trends, to be aware of new golf software and technology and to follow other related industries. Our goal is to be golf industry leaders and assist golf courses with improving their bottom line. Our experience and golf industry connections can help you find new ways to solve a problem.

Our Blogs
In addition to our work on golf course marketing, sales and strategies we spend a great deal of time exploring golf courses, restaurants and activities in Vancouver, all of British Columbia and other favorite places in the world. Our 19th Hole Blog has become our way of sharing our experiences about our business and life in Vancouver and now as location independent nomads. Our Industry Blog is our way of sharing news, golf course marketing ideas, social media tips, opinions on the golf industry and other non-golf specific business related matters, like our thought son the NHL. Whenever we travel we take advantage of the best local spots (with the fastest free wifi of course) from which to operate CK Golf. No one ever said that work could not be fun too!
