You might know the game of golf, but do you know the business of golf? Humber’s Professional Golf Management diploma program helps you improve your acumen in the clubhouse and beyond.

With more than 2,500 facilities in Canada, it’s one of the fastest growing Canadian industries of any kind.

Golf facilities and sports apparel companies require business-minded golfers with a deep understanding of golf culture who can manage courses, pro shops, tournaments, special events, and day-to-day business operations.
