Multi-Course & Resort Operators Retreat 2025

June 24–25 | Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa | Monterey, CA

In 2025, we’re celebrating 30 consecutive years of NGCOA’s Multi-Course & Resort Operators Retreat — an exclusive, invitation-only gathering for owners/operators of 6 or more golf courses and top executives of golf management companies (MCOs), and top resort operators and executives (TROs).

Join us this June 24 and 25 as we return to the charming and ever-popular Monterey Plaza Hotel & Spa in historic Monterey, California. Spend two full and exciting days with your peers — the best in the golf course and resort business — for unparalleled knowledge sharing and incomparable networking (and a bit of relaxation.)

Partake in executive-level connection and friendship building, and an examination of important issues pertinent to your golf business and your leadership style. You’ll hear thoughtful perspectives from experts and your peers, and have the chance to share your own in a casual but productive environment.

 

Being my first time attending, I was concerned that it would not be engaging… but the smaller size of the group made connection and conversation easy. Well done and I look forward to next year!

MCOR is the event I look forward to attending each year. The sessions are informative, the networking enjoyable, and the setting wonderful.

Relationship Building

MCOR is designed to provide attendees with meaningful and unparalleled networking opportunities. From the annual Yamaha Golf Outing, to the frequent breaks, to the evening receptions, you’ll have multiple chances to connect and reconnect with your CEO and executive-level peers from across the country.

 

MCOR provides a great opportunity to network and learn formally through the organized sessions but also informally during social interactions with your peer group throughout the events.

It is a unique chance to talk to people in similar roles and having the majority of the large operators in one place for three days is something that can’t be found elsewhere.

Executive-Level Education

This year, we’re excited to welcome two new MCOR25 co-chairs: Whitney Crouse, Founding Partner of Bobby Jones Links, and John Brown, CEO of GreatLIFE Golf, and we appreciate their expertise, leadership, direction, and commitment to this event. They, along with NCGOA’s education team, are carefully curating the MCOR25 education programming, and selecting topics and speakers that will resonate with your interests, needs and business challenges. Session topics and speakers are being finalized now; they will examine industry and business trends, and broader issues affecting the business of golf. Ask any executive who has attended an MCOR in the past… it’s not to be missed!

Continuing Education Units

MCOR25 education sessions will be eligible for continuing education credits from the PGA of America, LPGA, CMAA and GCSAA.

Monterey in the summer is a great fit, hotel and ambience on the water was beautiful and made non-event relaxation easy and enjoyable.
