History of Billy Casper Golf

The Story Begins

PGA Tour Legend Billy Casper and business partners Peter Hill and Bob Morris knew golf-course operations were 20 years behind the times. Management of hotels and airlines were highly sophisticated, but golf courses were run out of proverbial cigar boxes.

Billy Casper Golf began to take shape. Learning, challenging the status quo, and ultimately contributing to the short- and long-term profitability of courses slowly led to one elated course owner after another.

Word spread that we were a burgeoning, responsible, successful third-party course manager. Steadily, more and more private, institutional and municipal course owners confidently handed their keys to our firm. They were better off with Billy Casper Golf than without.

Savvy and Structure

But philosophically, Billy Casper Golf didn’t want to grow too big, too fast. That would be irresponsible and risked dropped balls along the way. After all, our company was trusted to run others’ businesses.

Management responded by significantly investing in a foundation for success: building the organization organically, sequentially and solidly. A highly-talented and grounded management team with a firm set of goals led to a well-thought-out organizational structure covering all bases of turnkey operations.

Building a Team

We built and trained expert teams in:

• Operations
• Agronomy
• Marketing & Sales
• Human Resources
• Publicity
• IT / IS
• Finance
• Business Development

Next came leading-edge, practical, creative programs and enterprise systems.

To capitalize on promotional opportunities, Billy Casper Golf founded Buffalo Communications, the golf industry's only in-house public relations, branding and marketing-communications agency. Buffalo services BCG courses and third-party, major-brand golf product manufacturers, resorts, destinations and communities around the globe.
