Golf Coast Magazine
Golfing in Southwest Florida is a treasured pastime for generations of people. Unlike the greens you find in other parts of the country, or, even other parts of the state, there is something a bit more polished about the courses you find in our neck of the woods. Am I biased? Of Course! But, so are you. That is why every chance you get, you are meeting guests and important clients at your coveted tee time. “Anyone in for a quick round at a championship course followed by a five-star meal?” Has anyone ever turned that down? What the locals and snowbirds are looking for is one comprehensive source to direct them to the best courses with the most pristine greens. Throughout Southwest Florida, Golf Coast Magazine is the publications golfers trust most.
In the world of golf, there is always something exciting taking place. Exciting tournaments, lavish grounds and beautiful club houses supply the perfect backdrop for large-purse extravaganzas. Just the essence of a golf course with its pristine natural beauty, manicured to the umpteenth degree is so inviting and relaxing. And the actual sport of golf has grown immensely, probably because anybody with a good swing and calculating mind can play a good round. When golfers want to know how the courses are rated, price and tee time information, tournament details, or just want to immerse themselves in a gorgeous, high-quality golfing publication, they simply cannot find anything more comprehensive than Golf Coast Magazine. And, the best part is they scour Southwest Florida, looking for only the most elite courses in the area. All the vetting is done before you even show up for your tee time.

With an understanding that only the top courses make it into the publication, local courses are upping their game in hopes of making the cut. For news inside the tight-knit but global golfing community, there simply is no better source for “everything golf” including who is on top, educational and fundraising aspects of golf, and the scoop on tournaments everywhere, including details on nearby shopping and dining. Whether you are staying abreast of all the latest industry news through their paper-publications, online, or through their emailed newsletters, chances are if it is relevant and golf-related, you read it in Golf Coast Magazine.
When it comes to IBE, the leaders at Golf Coast Magazine have always found bartering to be beneficial in many ways. Agreeing with many other IBE members, they see it as a way to free up capital and to procure items and services they would not otherwise be able to get. But they also look at it as a means to give purpose to underutilized inventory or services that really cost the company little to provide in the way of bartering. So, allowing other members to use their “barter bucks” to advertise when space is available is a solution where everyone benefits. For Golf Coast Magazine, IBE is the barter organization that keeps on giving in new ways all the time.
