What Happens After You Enroll in CLUB360?

After you enroll, a dedicated CLUB Advisor reaches out within two business days to review your needs and your current vendors. To start the analysis you share one thing: a year-to-date AP vendor spend report. Your CLUB Advisor maps that spend to nationally contracted suppliers or equivalents, builds a customized savings plan with contract options, and savings begin at the point of purchase on the programs you choose to use. There is no cost to join, no membership fees, and nothing to decide until the plan is in front of you.

Who contacts you, and how quickly?

A dedicated CLUB Advisor, within two business days of enrollment. It is a real person assigned to your property rather than a login and a catalog, and the same advisor stays on afterward to manage the savings. The first conversation is about your operation and the vendors you already buy from, not a pitch for a supplier list.

What does your property have to share?

A year-to-date AP vendor spend report is how the analysis starts. That single report tells your CLUB Advisor who you buy from and in what categories, which is everything needed to compare your current pricing against nationally contracted programs. You are not asked to rebuild a budget, run an RFP, or collect quotes.

What are the steps, start to finish?

• Sign up online: a short enrollment form, no paperwork required.
• Meet your CLUB Advisor: they reach out within two business days to review your needs and current vendors.
• Identify savings: your spend is mapped to nationally contracted suppliers or equivalents.
• Customize your savings plan: the most advantageous programs, best quality at the lowest price, with contract options.
• Save immediately: benefits start at the point of purchase.

When do the savings actually show up?

On the invoice, the first time you order under a program you have adopted. CLUB360 pricing is price-to-property, so the benefit is built into what you pay rather than returned months later as a rebate check. That is why there is no reconciliation period to wait through and no accrual to track: the number on the invoice is already the saved number.

How much is a savings plan usually worth?

It depends on what you buy and how much of the program you use. In a representative CLUB360 golf club cost study, estimated blended savings ran around 12.2% across roughly $1,167,000 of annual spend, about $142,927 a year. That is an illustrative example rather than a quote for your property, and savings vary based on use of the CLUB360 programs. Your own number comes out of the plan your CLUB Advisor builds against your actual spend.

Do you have to act on the plan?

No. There are no compliance mandates and no forced volume commitments, so adopting any individual program stays a voluntary, category-by-category decision. Properties routinely start in one area and expand later once they have seen the pricing hold: Food and Beverage, Turf & Agronomy, Clubhouse, Pool & Fitness, Office & Administration, and Pro Shop & Retail, sitting on more than 500 best-in-class programs.

Does anything change for members or guests?

Nothing has to. Your menu, your brands, your standards, and your service levels are yours; what changes is the contract underneath the purchase. Because the onboarding runs through your existing spend rather than a required conversion, the operation on the floor can look exactly the same the week after enrollment as it did the week before.

Is the process different for a resort, a restaurant, or a yacht club?

No, the steps are identical. Country clubs private and public, restaurants, resorts and independently owned hotels, and yacht clubs all enroll on the same terms and start with the same spend report. More on that in CLUB360 Is Not Just for Country Clubs.

What is the smallest way to start?

The enrollment form takes minutes and costs nothing, and the clock on those two business days starts there. If you would rather ask questions before you enroll, you can reach a CLUB Advisor first.
