Expertise and Resources for California’s Golf Course Owners

CGCOA is dedicated to developing strategic partnerships and strategies to help golf course owners provide a thriving recreational facility for the local community.

To achieve this, our members work together to better educate ourselves on new opportunities to run our golf courses better. Through personal contact with industry experts, whether they be fellow members or sponsors, the members of the CGCOA are exposed to the latest expertise, technology, resources and ideas to make themselves more successful.

Furthermore, all members of the association pledge to themselves and the public that they will abide by core values which distinguish them from non-members.

Working together, the members of the CGCOA are promoting themselves and the game of golf in a way that enhances their lives and enriches others.

Heat Illness Protection Resources

Summer is Here:
Protect Workers from Heat-Related Illness as Things Heat Up
from the California Department of Public Health

As vaccination rates increase and COVID-19 risk decreases around the state, California businesses are opening up. The economy – and the weather – are heating up. As climate change increases temperatures, and heat waves happen more and more frequently, outdoor workers and others who perform physically demanding work are at risk for heat-related illness, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These conditions are serious and can result in damage to the brain, nervous system, and kidneys, and even death. These risks increase during the summer when temperatures and humidity are high.
