a favorable wind that keeps a vessel on its course
Knowing where to travel, how to get there, and what to prepare for is critical for ocean bound vessels.  It’s just as important for the dynamic golf course, clubs, and hospitality industry.  Keeping your facility on its proper course is critical to financial and operational success.  The team at Forewinds Consulting has been providing direction for its partners and clients for over two decades.  Whether it’s golf operations, catered events, membership, customer service, culinary, sales/marketing, agronomic or financial controls/HR services that your facility needs, correct your course’s direction with Forewinds Consulting.

## RETAIN CONTROL.
## CORRECT YOUR COURSE.
## ADVANCE YOUR OBJECTIVES.
## **Why Forewinds?**
After working with countless course owners, Boards of Directors and municipalities like you that possess golf assets over two decades, it’s clear that most want to retain primary control over their golf courses and event venues. You don’t need to relegate property and people to a colossal operator from across the country. What you do need, however, is expertise, a proven track record of success, and a reliable source of knowledge, strategy and game planning. You require a new map forward through a quickly evolving industry that demands constant attention and a trusted hand.
Forewinds also specializes in the intersection of golf operations and food and beverage. All too often, the good that is done with golf and golf related revenue streams can be undone by the less understood and often overlooked costs and labors associated with restaurants, weddings and special events. Allow Forewinds to help you maximize these opportunities and avoid the common pitfalls associated with club affiliated food and beverage services.
In the end, for a fraction of the cost of an annual management fee you can dial in the coordinates for success with a partner that will help you navigate wisely and chart a new course toward prosperity.

## **Heard From The Gallery**
I had the pleasure of working with Jeff Robinson for nearly twenty years. He is a recognized subject matter expert in the hospitality and golf industry. Jeff successfully developed amazing teams that delivered world class customer service to clients and visitors. His professional demeanor, communication skills and ability to find compromise is exemplary and rarely found in today’s competitive business market.—Greg Abbott
*Manager, Administrative Services Section, Delaware State Parks*
I first met Jeff in 2018 , and we soon hired him and his team to help revitalize a golf course we owned. Jeff and his crew spent three months on site and came to the conclusion that we needed to rebuild from the ground up. They hired all new management team and a new grounds crew. An innovative marketing plan was developed, the accounting system replaced, and hundreds of other improvements. Five years later the course is in the best condition ever. The revenue has tripled, membership has returned and the future looks bright. Jeff ‘s management skills get full credit for saving the course from closing. I would hire Jeff for any project and have complete confidence in him.—William Kriss

Jeff understands getting and keeping members is the ultimate measure of success at a private club. He was keenly able to build relationships within the membership to cause new member referrals and appropriately market the benefits of membership to the community, and coach others to do so. His understanding of monthly business plans that adjust with the needs of the club, the seasons, and market dynamics produced measurable, award-winning results. Jeff is a seasoned club and hospitality professional knowledgeable in all facets of the club business. His industry success over the last twenty-five years is exemplary, and I am confident in his ability to produce results.—Todd Froehle

Within the industry, Jeff also has expertise in sales & marketing, hospitality, food & beverage, and building cohesive management teams.
