Brad Halyk

General Manager
THE GREENS AT RENTON
★★★★★

"I have been attending NGCOA Canada conferences on and off since 1993. I always come back from these events inspired and refreshed ready to take on new challenges. I would highly suggest that anyone that is able, should make a point of attending one for themselves. I guarantee it is an investment well worth it."

Jennifer Sanderson

Operations Manager
GOLF PEI
★★★★★

"The Canadian Online GOLFEXPO was a tremendous opportunity for Golf PEI to get its story and brand in front of golfers from all across Canada. Our reservation centre fielded over $125,000 in vacation quotes during the week, and our annual contest saw over 2,500 sign-ups, which strengthened our database to attract future golf vacationers. It is a worthwhile investment that produced great ROI."

James Chapman

General Manager
GLENDALE GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
★★★★★

"We see annual savings in excess of $13,000 while working with great partners such as Moneris, Entegra, BrettYoung, Moosehead Breweries and many more. Combined with everything else the NGCOA Canada delivers, being a member is an easy business decision for us each and every golf season."
