Our Philosophy
Hazard Golf Company was built around a straightforward idea: golf courses deserve a professional retrieval partner that communicates, respects the property and actually performs the work it agrees to perform. We partner with golf courses to recover submerged golf balls while creating value for the property and minimizing work for course staff. Our approach is based on long-term relationships. We want course managers to know who is accessing their property, when retrieval will occur and what they can expect from our team.
Common Questions
What does golf ball retrieval cost the course?
Under our standard pay-per-ball model, there is no upfront retrieval charge to the course. Hazard Golf Company retrieves the balls and compensates the course according to the agreed arrangement.
How does the course make money?
Compensation can be based on the number of qualifying balls recovered. Exact rates and terms are established in the course's agreement.
Do you keep the golf balls?
Under many agreements, Hazard Golf Company retains the recovered golf balls after compensating the course. Alternative arrangements can be discussed.
What happens to our range balls?
When included in the arrangement, identifiable course range balls can be separated and returned to the course.
Will retrieval interfere with golfers?
Our operations are coordinated with course management with the goal of minimizing or avoiding disruption to normal play.
Who performs the retrieval?
Hazard Golf Company uses professional divers for underwater retrieval operations.
How often will you service our ponds?
Retrieval frequency depends on the course, ball volume, geography, accessibility and the agreement. Our objective is dependable recurring service rather than simply obtaining retrieval rights.
Do you work nationwide?
Yes. Hazard Golf Company develops retrieval partnerships with golf courses throughout the United States.
What if our course already has a retrieval agreement?
Invite the course to contact Hazard Golf Company to discuss its situation and future retrieval needs without encouraging violation of an existing agreement.
How long are agreements?
Contract length and renewal provisions can vary based on the course and agreed arrangement.
What information do you need from us?
Usually the course location, number of ponds/water hazards, approximate retrieval history and a contact person are enough to begin an evaluation.
Can you provide insurance or vendor documentation?
Invite management to request current applicable documentation directly from Hazard Golf Company.
