Cypress Golf Management

What Cypress Golf Management does

Cypress Golf Management LLC is a privately held, US-based professional services firm that provides outsourced management, consulting, agronomic, and asset-management services to golf facilities. Founded in 2010 and headquartered in St Cloud, Florida, the company serves public and municipal golf courses, resorts, private membership clubs, and financial institutions holding distressed golf assets. Its service portfolio spans full operations management (accounting/finance, golf operations, F&B, marketing, membership, facility planning), month-to-month consulting engagements, dedicated agronomic support via its sister subsidiary Cypress Golf Course Services (CGCS), and turn-key asset management and receivership for financially distressed properties.

The company's underlying technology stack is light and partnership-driven rather than proprietary. Core operational expertise is delivered by a 1-10 person senior team whose principals average 20+ years of industry experience, supported on-site by subsidiary and facility-level staff. Technology enablement is provided through integrations with foreUP (tee time booking and golf management software) and Gallus Golf (golf marketing and operations technology), both announced in 2020. No proprietary platform or AI/ML capability is disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily via recurring monthly management fees (e.g., $3,000/month ramping to $5,000/month plus a 70% profit share to the client upon profitability, as disclosed for Augusta Municipal), month-to-month consulting engagements, and ad hoc professional services for receiverships and dispositions. The company's stated capacity covers 115+ public, resort, and private facilities cumulatively managed by its leadership team, with a logo wall of more than 50 client properties. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via direct website contact forms, phone outreach (855-557-7500), and senior-led business development, with no public pricing tiers disclosed.
