Why Consulting Firms Are Buying Their Own Golf Courses

Episode 48 of Service Business Talks with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna explore why top consulting firms are acquiring golf courses—not as executive perks, but as strategic assets. They break down how these clubs serve as high-touch client development venues, talent retention tools, and data-rich environments for behavioral insights. The hosts focus on one specific case: McKinsey's 2024 acquisition of a private golf club in Georgia, and how it fits into a broader trend of professional services firms investing in 'experience assets.' They discuss the economics of course ownership versus corporate membership, the client relationship ROI, and what this signals about the future of business development in consulting. No fluff, just a specific angle on a surprising strategic move. #Consulting #ProfessionalServices #McKinsey #GolfCourses #ClientDevelopment #TalentRetention #ExperienceAssets #BusinessDevelopment #Strategy #Golf #CorporateStrategy #PrivateEquity #Luxury #RelationshipBuilding #ServiceBusinessTalks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #AdFree Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
