Municipal Golf Course Insurance Can Depend on Who Owns, Operates & Controls the Course

A municipal golf course may be fully operated by a public entity, leased to a private operator, managed by a golf management company, supported by a parks department, or used by outside leagues and organizations. The insurance review may need to clarify ownership, operational control, contracts, payroll responsibility, property schedules, equipment ownership, alcohol service, events, carts, maintenance duties, and claim history.
