How to Scale Business Strategically with Golf Networking

The Challenge

ACME Netherlands, a growing company, faced a unique challenge. Many of their current and potential customers were avid golfers, but ACME’s employees had little knowledge of the sport. The company also lacked a corporate golf membership, missing out on opportunities to connect with clients in a meaningful way.

John, ACME’s business head, wanted to:

  • Build deeper personal relationships with customers.

  • Boost employee engagement, teamwork, and morale in a healthy, productive way.

  • Accommodate visiting executives from other countries who were keen to play golf during their trips to the Netherlands.

To address these challenges, ACME booked a consulting session with Visionary Steps.


The Solution

Visionary Steps designed a tailored strategy to help ACME leverage golf as a tool for business growth and employee development. Here’s what we delivered:

  1. Corporate Golf Membership: Secured a membership at one of the finest golf clubs in the Netherlands, allowing ACME employees and clients to play year-round.

  2. Golf Networking App: Enabled direct connections with other business club members, facilitating meetups and rounds of golf.

  3. Business Meeting Rooms: Provided access to informal meeting spaces at the club, perfect for client discussions or team brainstorming.

  4. In-Company Golf Lessons: Introduced employees to the game, training them to play confidently anywhere in the world.

  5. Golf Clinics: Offered game improvement tips for beginners and intermediate players, enhancing their skills and enjoyment.

  6. Private Golf Lounge: Created a space for employees and clients to relax, enjoy drinks, and play simulated golf with AI and human trainers.

  7. Tournament Participation: Organized opportunities for ACME to participate in golf tournaments, fostering camaraderie and brand visibility.

The Results

ACME achieved significant outcomes:

  • Stronger Client Relationships: Golf became a bridge for deeper, more personal connections with customers.

  • Enhanced Employee Engagement: Employees embraced golf as a fun, healthy way to bond and build teamwork.
