Why Outsource?
Today’s economy creates a myriad of challenges for golf courses of all sizes and styles. When rising costs combine with fewer players and members, changes often need to be made. Don’t sacrifice the course quality and golfer experience. Select a reliable partner to manage the maintenance side, so you can focus on attracting more golfers and improving the bottom line.
Maintain Control
You will never face giving up any creative or operational control over the look and feel of your course. It will always be your course. You set the standard and expectations – we simply takeover the day-to-day field management responsibilities and ensure your course remains in tip-top shape all year round. RGS will meet with you on a regular basis to ensure you feel your course is being maintained properly and is going in the direction you want to see. We will present regular updates and make recommendations about improvements and management outside of our contract that we believe will produce a better course for your players, but in the end it is up to you.
Keep Your Team
Continuity of care is of the utmost concern when entering into a partnership. We will do everything possible to retain all existing maintenance personnel from the Superintendent on down. This keeps the day to day upkeep in the hands of those who know and respect your course the most. When it is not possible to retain current employees we can either move qualified Reliable employees into the position or hire the right person for your course. We know what to look for in a good superintendent and are very good at finding the right person and supporting that person to make sure your operation doesn’t skip a beat.
Reduce Equipment Costs
We own all of the equipment used to take care of all the courses we manage. At the beginning of our partnership, we can purchase your existing fleet of equipment at a rate agreeable to both parties. By spending a small amount built into each year’s contract, we will shoulder the burden of all maintenance and operations costs of equipment and provide all new equipment when the need arises. This will go a long ways to alleviate the anxiety associated with new equipment purchases and help you focus on what matters most to your business. We’ve not only alleviated the liability of equipment from the courses we maintain, our courses have also greatly benefitted from the cash that we have turned their equipment into.
Cut Out The Headaches
Organizationally, we’re built to manage the daily maintenance required to keep courses in the pristine condition it was designed for. We created this business so that you can have priorities other than the day to day hassles and headaches of all that goes into keeping your course beautiful. A well run maintenance operation can make all the difference to an organization. We are a proven commodity when it comes to providing golf maintenance without headaches to you, but providing the proper amount of communication so you are assured that your course is being properly taken care of.
Why RGS?
It’s your course. We’re just keeping it beautiful.

We offer comprehensive benefit packages for all of our full time employees. If Reliable isn’t a great company to work for, then the courses we manage won’t be great places to work at.
