4-1.2 Control Counter
Use description:
The control counter will be the central
control for the golf course and for the
golf shop. It will have workstations for
controlling these two operations,
including computers to schedule and
control the use of the golf course and
cash register with point of sale controls.
As the control area may contain the
starter's station, ensure that it is located
to give good visual access to the golf
cart staging area and the first tee (and
preferably, the tenth tee as well). The
starter may be responsible for collecting
greens fees and golf cart rentals. The
starter's workstation shall be near the
door to the exterior of the Clubhouse
that accesses the golf course.
The retail workstation will also be a
cash handling operation. Its operator
should be able to oversee the sales
area and control the entrances to the
golf shop.
