PHOENIX – Arizona-based Green Lake Golf (GLG) has committed to redefining client success by ensuring that environmental sustainability is aligned with financial profitability.
Golf course owners face the ongoing challenge of maintaining exceptional course conditions, delivering best-in-class service, and turning every round of golf into a memorable experience that retains loyal patrons and attracts new ones. But with rising operational costs and increasing regulatory pressures—particularly around water usage—the path to long-term success is more complex than ever.
Enter GLG, which offers an innovative solution that reimagines how golf course land can be leveraged to deliver both enhanced playability and significant financial gain—all while promoting sustainability and community value.
Unlock Hidden Value While Improving Your Course
Imagine repurposing a portion of an existing course into highly desirable, developable land that can be sold to generate capital. At the same time, the golf course is enhanced through thoughtful redesign, reducing irrigated turf and saving thousands in water costs annually.
“Most golf course owners understand their land’s current value,” said Jeff Schwinkendorf, Principal and Co-Founder of GLG. “But few know how to unlock its full potential through golf course renovation and land redevelopment—opportunities that can generate both near and long-term financial benefit. Our in-house team is here to help you uncover those hidden possibilities.”
Green Lake Golf has developed a proven, three-phase process designed to unlock a property’s full value—combining golf course enhancement, real estate development, and long-term environmental stewardship.
Phase 1: The Blueprint for Prosperity – Initial Evaluation
Engagement begins with a Preliminary Assessment—at no cost. GLG’s multidisciplinary team evaluates:
- Flexibility of current course layout for redevelopment opportunities
- Zoning and land-use implications
- Real estate development potential
This initial review identifies both opportunities and constraints, allowing the team to determine project viability early.
Should the findings prove favorable, a Formal Evaluation follows to provide a deeper analysis, including:
- Legal, environmental, and financial feasibility
- Further analysis of local real estate market while initiating outreach with interested developers and/or homebuilders
- Conceptual plans for land and golf course redevelopment
- Timeline and projected Return On Investment (ROI)
- Analysis of irrigation system and potential for advancements in efficiencies
“By managing legal, technical, and sustainability components under one roof, we eliminate delays and confusion that often come with fragmented consulting teams.” said Jamie Cook, Principal and Co-Founder of GLG. “Our approach not only protects your bottom line but also shows leadership on sustainability—an increasingly important signal to regulators and your community.”
Phase 2: From Vision to Reality – Pre-Construction & Execution
Once a redevelopment plan is approved, GLG manages all pre-construction and construction activities. Among them:
- Secure all legal entitlements and approvals (rezoning, permits, etc.)
- Coordinate golf course renovation to minimize disruption
- Continue marketing the developable parcel(s) to investors and developers
As construction progresses, GLG lays the foundation for a profitable land sale while enhancing the client’s golf course.
Phase 3: Monetization – Realizing Returns
GLG’s involvement doesn’t end at construction. It oversees:
- Ongoing structured marketing and sale of developable parcel(s)
- Execution of the master plan in line with clients’ expectations
- Implementation of water-saving strategies and sustainability goals
With GLG handling the complexities—from legal issues to land sales—golf course owners can stay focused on what you do best: providing a premier golf experience.
