We’re pleased to share the key findings from the highly successful 2025 Golf Governance Forum, which we supported in partnership with Golf Business Advisory Services (GBAS).
Ahead of the forum, we invited club directors, GMs, and CEOs from across the golf sector to complete a survey exploring the current state of golf club governance. Our new detailed report compiles the insights gathered.
What’s inside the report?
With over 350 responses across 93 golf clubs, this report offers a snapshot of how governance is evolving in member-based organisations.
While the focus is on golf, many of the findings are relevant for not-for-profits and boards more broadly, particularly those navigating similar challenges around performance, strategy, and alignment.
Inside, you’ll find:
– How club boards compare to broader not-for-profit benchmarks
– Where directors and GMs align—and where their views differ
– Key opportunities to strengthen board performance
– Practical governance lessons relevant to all boards
Whether you attended the forum or not, we encourage you to download the report and reflect on how these insights might apply to your board.
