The Challenge
Your club runs like a business. It deserves HR like one.
Most private clubs employ 50 to 175 people across full-time, part-time, and seasonal roles. Keeping great staff, building a strong culture, and running smooth operations takes real HR expertise. But most clubs don’t have anyone dedicated to it. The GM handles people issues alongside golf operations, membership, events, and capital projects.
Your people are your club’s product. They deserve the same attention as your course.
How It Works
Three steps to a protected club.
We find the gaps.
Take our free HR audit and score your club across 7 critical categories. You get a clear picture of what's working and what's not — in under 10 minutes.
We build your plan.
Based on the audit findings, we create a prioritized roadmap to close gaps, update your handbook, ensure training compliance, and establish the policies your club needs. We handle the heavy lifting.
We protect you year-round.
Ongoing compliance monitoring, training tracking, policy updates when laws change, and expert guidance available whenever you need it. Your club stays protected. You stay focused on the member experience.
Your audit results are yours — no strings attached. You’ll get your HR Health Score and a full category breakdown whether or not you work with us. If you want to close the gaps, we’ll show you exactly how.

Schedule a ConsultationWhy Fairway Partners
I grew up in the club world.
I spent my career building HR at high-growth technology companies. As a team of one at a globally distributed organization, I built everything from scratch: recruiting, multi-state compliance, compensation, employee relations, and board-level strategy.
I’m an avid golfer and serve on three committees at my club: junior golf, handicap, and league. I live on the 18th hole of a signature course. I understand the culture, the seasonality, the member dynamics, and the unwritten rules that make clubs different from every other business.
Private clubs operate with the complexity of a mid-size company spread across multiple departments, mixed employment types, and seasonal surges. But most do it without dedicated HR. I built Fairway Partners to change that.
You get the responsiveness of a dedicated advisor and the efficiency of purpose-built tools — without the cost of a full-time HR Director.
