eGolf Village Launches First-Ever National Syndicated Group Buy Program for Rental Golf Clubs, Uniting 1,000 Golf Courses Nationwide

New procurement model saves public and resort golf courses 40–60% on rental equipment while modernizing supply chain operations across the golf industry.

eGolf Village, the emerging national platform for golf course commerce and community services, today announced the launch and successful pilot of the National Syndicated Rental Club Group Buy Program—the first procurement initiative of its kind in the golf industry.

The program aggregates purchasing power from 1,000 golf courses, combining demand for 5,000 rental golf club sets into a single national order, allowing courses to secure deep OEM discounts typically available only to major resort chains.

“Golf courses have been buying rental clubs in isolation for decades,” said Brad Kellmayer, Founder, eGolf Village. “By syndicating demand while ensuring they receive the newest equipment models, standardized configurations, and predictable refresh cycles.”

🔍 A Solution to Rising Equipment Costs

With equipment prices increasing due to tariffs, supply chain volatility, and frequent technology cycles, many public and municipal facilities struggle to maintain high-quality rental sets. Historically, each course purchases between 3 and 10 sets at near-retail pricing, often exceeding $1,200–$1,800 per set.

Through the eGolf Village syndicated model, participating courses gained access to $650–$900 OEM pricing, resulting in savings of $3,000–$4,500 per course and $3–$4.5 million in collective industry-wide savings.

🏌️‍♂️ How the Program Works

The group buying system follows a five-step structure:

  1. Course Enrollment – Facilities submit rental set needs (default 5 sets each).

  2. Demand Aggregation – eGolf Village consolidates orders nationally.

  3. OEM Competitive Bidding – Leading manufacturers (Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade, Ping, Cobra) submit proposals.

  4. Award & Fulfillment – Winning OEM fulfills a multi-thousand-unit contract.

  5. Refresh & Resale Cycle – Annual or bi-annual replacement options supported by buyback credits.

“Golf equipment manufacturers win as well,” added Brad Kellmayer. “They receive enormous brand exposure across 1,000 courses and predictable volume commitments—transforming the way rental clubs reach golfers.”

💼 A New Revenue Engine for the Golf Industry

The program creates a repeatable supply-chain channel for:

  • Public courses

  • Municipal courses

  • Resorts and destination properties

  • Multi-course operators

It also unlocks new revenue streams for eGolf Village via:

  • OEM bid spreads

  • Administrative participation fees

  • Co-marketing partnerships

  • Refurbished resale of returned sets

  • Optional subscription-based rental fleet refresh cycles

🌍 Setting a New Standard for Golf Course Procurement

The syndicated group buy program sets the stage for additional national procurement initiatives, including:

  • Range balls

  • Maintenance tools

  • Greenskeeper repair equipment

  • Fertilizer and turf products

  • Utility carts

  • Apparel, balls, and accessories

“We see this as the beginning of a modernized supply chain for golf,” said Brad Kellmayer, Founding CEO of eGolf Villlage. “Courses deserve the same purchasing power that exists in healthcare, hospitality, and aviation. eGolf Village is bringing that model to golf for the first time.”
