A Word from our President
“ Without a doubt, the best investment I have ever made in the golf business is my membership in the NGCOA. In my first year, I found solutions that saved over $15,000. Since then, I have learned many lessons from fellow owners/operators, and each of those was worth more than my dues. Here in NC, we have saved clubs millions of dollars across the board. When you consider the education, the buying opportunities, the networking, the legislative efforts – membership in the North Carolina Golf Course Owners Association is a no brainer.”
