About

Golf Course Owners of Wisconsin

The mission of the Golf Course Owners of Wisconsin (GCOW) is to provide education and advocacy on behalf of its members and to promote golf throughout the state of Wisconsin. The GCOW, established as a non-profit association in 1984, is a member of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA). It is governed by an elected board of directors.

The GCOW is an association that supports the golf course owners and operators in the State of Wisconsin. By representing and working on behalf of Wisconsin’s courses, we serve to promote, protect and educate its members of all sizes.

We aspire to provide many benefits for golf course owners including:
  • provide savings on member-only programs
  • provide networking opportunities and a chance to learn new ideas and work with their peers
  • to keep courses informed of trends, regulatory and legislative issues
  • to work with the Wisconsin Department of Tourism to support our member courses
In addition, by becoming a member of the GCOW, all courses also become members of the National Golf Course Owners Association (NGCOA) and receive all the benefits they provide such as Smart Buy Programs, LIST SERVE and many more programs and services.

 

To accomplish its objectives, the GCOW has created strategic partnerships with the Wisconsin State Golf Association (WSGA), PGA – Wisconsin Section, the Wisconsin State Department of Tourism, and the Wisconsin Bed & Breakfast Association (WBBA).

 

The GCOW offices are in the Golf House of Wisconsin, located at 11350 W. Theo Trecker Way, West Allis, WI 53214.  We are proud to share offices with the PGA–Wisconsin Section and the Wisconsin State Golf Association (WSGA).
