Food and Beverage professionals within the Golf and Country Club industry are presented with a unique set of challenges that only their peers can fully understand. The National Golf Course Restaurant Association (NGCRA) was developed to be a support system for these professionals, with a focus on helping food and beverage departments network and reduce spending without sacrificing creativity. As the first and only association dedicated to providing these services and support, they have become a valuable resource for clubs throughout the United States.  

This very special organization is operated by the motto “Created For Our Members By Our Members”, which is, perhaps, why being a part of the NGCRA becomes such a wonderful experience. The group of professionals which operate the NGCRA believe in fostering close relationships with all members, providing an intimate level of service you can’t get anywhere else.  Over the past ten years, we have helped hundreds of clubs maximize food sales while cutting food costs through relationships with the nation’s top manufacturers and distribution partners.

True creativity is fostered through exposure to continued education and inspiration from other clubs. Members of the NGCRA are given opportunities to participate in Networking Forums, where they can meet with their fellow chefs and industry peers to compare experiences and notes.

There are a number of benefits to becoming an NGCRA member. We have valuable relationships with food and product providers, directly related to our Cost Savings program. The NGCRA also works hard to keep members abreast of the newest trends and success strategies. Running a successful Food and Beverage department is easier when management has access to operational tools and industry statistics. Additional information can be accessed through our newsletters.

Our National Director of Members Services and Programs can assist you with any specific questions regarding membership, benefits, or becoming a Preferred Manufacturer or Distributor.

NGCRA partners with the best companies in the industry that are dedicated to servicing the needs of our members. Our Preferred Partner strategy is to establish long term relationships with reputable Maufacturers and Distributors that will provide superior products and services to our members at the best possible prices.

NGCRA continually seeks out new partners and updates their offerings to our members regularly through our website, newsletters and email blasts.
