Testimonials

We strive for client satisfaction in every engagement we undertake. Read below to see what our clients say about us.

As part of the Board process to appoint a new General Manager the Board determined that we would benefit from an external Operational Review before formally commencing the General Manager recruitment process. After a market review we appointed GBAS to undertake this review.

Jeff and David led the review, and it was evident from the start that their thorough understanding of the golf industry would provide us insights into our strengths and weaknesses, allowing us to match our current needs with the best available candidates. GBAS were very professional in their dealings with our Board and Staff and were able to identify genuine areas for improvement as well as confirming where our Club had a competitive advantage and how we could continue to leverage that.

I would highly recommend Jeff and the team at GBAS and we will continue to engage with them as we implement their recommendations as part of the delivery of our Strategic Plan.

The Board of Sanctuary Cove Golf & Country Club recently engaged GBAS for several things including creating and delivering a member survey, presenting the results coupled with industry benchmarking to the membership and building a new strategic plan with the Board. The presentation to the membership with industry facts backed up with key data and specific information through his benchmarking was exceptional.

Jeff’s professionalism, energy, knowledge and support was exceptional and well received by all stakeholders through the process. Further to this, his facilitation on the strategic planning workshops with the Board is to be commended.

We will continue to utilise the services of GBAS to ensure we continue to improve as a Club for the benefit of our members. I highly recommend the company and all of their services.
