Having owned an operated a golf facility, as well as possessing a law degree and credentialed as a PGA of America Golf Professional, I have had abundant opportunity to examine golf facilities from the perspective of liability hazards to patrons and employees.

Interestingly, many golf courses refuse to undergo an examination of their facility, because "that is what insurance is for." This is music to an Attorney's ears, and should be a red flag from a manager's standpoint.

This attitude is viewed as uncaring, and will create in a juries mind the proposition that the facility could have done more to make it safe for golfers, but chose not to instead.

Golf Concepts has provided site examinations and risk assessment to facilities around the world, and this has provided a measure of assurance to a facility that they have taken a necessary step in the prevention of accidents at their golf course and golf operation.

The areas of a golf facility that seem to be involved in the most incidents are the following:

1. Golf Car Operation

This area is of great concern to most golf courses due to the many ways incidents can occur. From negligent drivers of golf cars, to slopes on the course, golfers find a way to get into an accident. Many times, unfamiliarity with the terrain or with the operation of the golf car is responsible. Has your course done its homework in determining potential golf car hazards?

2. Food and Beverage Operation

In this area, does your wait staff understand the risks of alcohol consumption? Are they aware of the liability risk to the operation? Has the general manager and food and beverage manager fully assessed these risks?

3. Golf Course Design

What type of training did those who designed your facility have, and did they have a legal understanding of risks that can be created by their design? My guess would be no on both counts.
