Selecting Your Golf Course Builder

By Amy Cole


You may have saved quite a bit of money over the years which you want to invest in real estate. After looking at various factors, you may decide to open a clubhouse, offering various sporting activities. If one of these sports is golf, then you will need to start looking for a golf course builder. This is the person who will work with your architect to actualize the plans drawn in the blueprints. You should choose this expert carefully, to ensure you get good end results.

The approach you take when looking for this builder will depend on how involved you plan to be in the construction. You can choose to delegate all the work to the architect and then drop in now and then to assess the progress. However, you can choose the builder yourself and then opt avail yourself regularly to ensure you are updated on the progress of your project.

In case you have never required someone for this kind of job before, you may be a bit intimidated when choosing a contractor. You may evaluate the different qualified people, by seeing what their former employers say about them. Focus on the comments relating to their quality of work, as well as their work ethic.

The personality of the person you hire will also determine how they work. Even if the builder has years of experience and the right documents, if they are not likable, you will have a hard time. You can determine this by assessing them during the initial interview and also paying attention to your gut instinct.

To take on this kind of project, the person you are hiring need to have the right skill set and have documentation to prove this. They should also not be hesitant to show you projects they have worked on, which you can assess through photos, or by going to the sites in person. This step is important because while looking at their portfolio, you will be able to tell if they can offer you the kind of outcome you want.

Work experience will also be a factor you have to consider. People who have been doing this for over five years will be best suited for the job. Their hands on experience will make it easy for them to understand the plans and therefore, tell what needs to be done. They are also best placed to offer you practical advice, which can help you enhance the efficiency of your course, or even to lower your overall expenditure.

Once you have hired your builder, you will rely on them to get you in touch with other subcontractors you may need. Therefore, look for people who have a wide net of contacts. This way all the people working concurrently on the project will be familiar with each other, allowing work to progress quickly.

Even after the golf course is completed and functional, you may occasionally need to get in touch with the builder you used. This may be to handle a repair job on the course or to help with an expansion project. You should, therefore, inquire whether they offer these services. Questions about a guarantee for the work should also be asked at this point, to ensure you know what to expect in future.
