Fox Hollow Golf

This Tampa Bay Favorite Keeps Getting Better

Fox Hollow Golf Club is one of the premier golf courses in the state of Florida and was recently rated 57th by Golf Digest’s “Top 75 Courses Accessible to the Public in Florida.” As a testament to the quality of the golf course, Fox Hollow has hosted U.S. Open and U.S. Amateur qualifiers as well as qualifiers for the Valspar Championship, a PGA Tour event played at nearby Innisbrook resort.

Opening in 1994, the Fox Hollow golf course has the distinction of being one of the last courses designed and built by Robert Trent Jones, Senior, one of the most prolific and innovative golf course designers of all time. In his design of Fox Hollow, the legendary Jones created a layout as picturesque as it is playable.

The par-71 championship layout features five sets of tees and offers new challenges every time it’s played, mixing native trees and vegetation, sparkling lakes, sand bunkers and a variety of wildlife. Fox Hollow’s rolling fairways are a delightful departure from the pancake-flat layouts found elsewhere in Florida.

Fox Hollow’s greens feature SeaDwarf Paspalum turfgrass. This grass has the ability to deliver fast green speeds (9+ on the Stimpmeter) and requires less fertilizer, pesticide, weed control and irrigation than Bermudagrass.

The updated Fox Hollow clubhouse is available for tournaments, private parties, receptions and dinners, all catered by

18 it s professional events staff. They handle tournament groups from 20 to 144 players. Competitive pricing is available. For more information, visit FoxHollowGolfClub. com or call (727) 264-8939.

Fox Hollow’s practice facilities include a large putting green; a pitching green with sand bunker; and a natural turf driving range. Lessons and clinics are available, taught by Fox Hollow’s highly experienced PGA professional teaching staff.

Fox Hollow is a semi-private club that welcomes daily fee players. You will be pleasantly surprised by their rate structure. Playing Fox Hollow has never been more affordable. Reserve tee times online at FoxHollowGolfClub.com or call the Pro Shop at (727) 376-6333. GCM

Fellow Golf Course Community homeowners and board members,

I l ive at The Groves Golf and Country Club, a great retirement golf course community located in Land O’ Lakes, Florida. When I first moved in, the golf course’s pro shop was well below what the community’s homeowners deserved. I went directly to the HOA Board of Directors and showed them what their homeowners were entitled to. The Board agreed.

T hat was 10 years ago and the partnership between The Groves and Steve’s World of Golf is still going strong, along with ten other golf course communities in partnership with SWOG. They all have fully-stocked pro shops with merchandise selection and prices that compete with big box and online golf stores. And the HOA Boards have a consistent revenue stream.

T he Steve’s World of Golf business model allows its pro shop partners to earn a profit with no financial risk. SWOG stocks their pro shops with $30,000 to $120,000 of retail merchandise at no cost to the course. Every month our pro shop partners earn a profit from the merchandise sold in their shops.

Steve’s World of Golf will stock your pro shop with golf clubs, balls, men’s and women’s apparel, golf shoes, golf bags and accessories. We have accounts with all the major vendors including Titleist, Ping, TaylorMade, Callaway, Adidas, Bridgestone and many more.

I ndividual pro shops cannot offer a designed clothing and golf shoe inventory rotation. SWOG has a well planned rotation of these inventories. After 60 days, we add new merchandise and extract what’s been there for 60 days. This keeps our partner pro shops fresh with new merchandise.

A s a homeowner paying HOA dues, all you have to do is ask your HOA Board to give us ten minutes of their time. We will present our business model and show them how their pro shop net profit can at least double. We’ll show the Board how none of their homeowner’s HOA dues need to be tied up in pro shop inventories.

Yes, you can be the hero of your golf course community. Just reach out to us and have your HOA Board do the same. You deserve a full-stocked and profitable pro shop.

Here’s what participating golf courses are saying about Steve’s World of Golf…

“Inverness Golf Club is a member-owned club. We have been partners with Steve’s World of Golf for 12 years. We have always had great regional and member golf tournaments. Our only struggle was having enough manufacturers to provide a full representation of product that our members and guests desired. We recruited the SWOG team and our pro shop quickly became the dream our members and guests wanted. Once we were free from managing the pro shop, we were able to focus more attention on growing our memberships and creating more golf tournaments. Our sales in the pro shop have increased dramatically with no effort by us. Bringing in SWOG as our pro shop partner was one of the best decisions we ever made.”

– Jeff Shelton, General Manager, Inverness Golf Club

“I invited Steve’s World of Golf to become out pro shop partner. We now have the best pro shop, stocked with merchandise from all the major manufacturers and a set schedule for rotating our merchandise. I am so proud every day to come to work and stand in my pro shop with all of the great merchandise that we stock. I could never have brought this to our golf course without Steve’s World of Golf as our pro shop partner.”

– Kelly Lagedrost , LPGA, Director of Golf, Brooksville CC

“Ten years ago, the HOA board for The Groves Golf & Country Club brought in Steve’s World of Golf to be our pro shop partner. At the time, our pro shop was not up to our homeowners’ needs. SWOG came in and created a fully-stocked, professional pro shop and has brought pride to our community. Having SWOG as our pro shop partner has given our pro shop manager and staff time to concentrate on growing our community’s golf course business. In 10 years, we went from ranking in the top 30 to the #1 rated golf course to play by GolfNow. We could never have accomplished this goal and be earning a generous revenue stream for our homeowners without SWOG as our pro shop partner.”

– Glenn Douglass, HOA President, The Groves G&CC

“Eleven years ago, our golf course management company, Green Acres, and our HOA board at Continental Country Club, recruited Steve’s World of Golf to be our pro shop partner. This quickly became a great asset to our homeowners and our HOA community, boosting sales and inventory variety and rotation for our members and guests. Personally, this allowed me more productive time to take care of our homeowners needs and outside player’s needs. I also have more freed up time to give more golf lessons and fit my golfers for golf equipment through my teaching facility.”

– Stephen Wresch, PGA, Continental CC
