How we categorize
Form 990 service descriptions are free text (“Golf Course Management”, “Course Mgmt & Agronomy”, “Turf”). We bucket each vendor by keyword into the categories at left; anything that matches no bucket falls to “other.” A vendor is assigned to a single category from the service it most often reports.
The management companies
firms that run the operation, by clubs served
The most consequential vendor a club hires is the firm that runs it. These management companies — golf-course and full-club operators — appear across the most clubs in the corpus.

Recurring operators vs. one-off projects
the two kinds of vendor relationship
A vendor doing one $5M course renovation tells a different story than a national firm collecting $200k from thirty clubs. We treat a vendor as recurring when it shows a multi-year relationship with a club or serves more than one club; the rest are one-off — a single club in a single filing year, typically a capital project. Together, recurring vendors account for $359.0M of disclosed spend against $209.5M in one-off work.

Footprint vs. contract size
top 120 vendors by spend
Each point is a vendor: clubs served on the horizontal axis, total disclosed pay on the vertical. Category leaders sit to the right — many clubs, moderate pay each. A single towering point on the far left is a one-club mega-project. The shape of the cloud is the recurring / one-off split. Hover a point for the vendor; click through to its profile.
Contractor spend over time
disclosed $100k+ compensation by tax year
Total disclosed contractor compensation by filing year. The figure moves with both outsourcing trends and the capital-project cycle — a wave of course renovations lifts a year even if recurring spend is flat. The most recent year is typically partial, as filings for it are still being posted.

A quick gut-check for a club operator: how does your roster of large contractors compare? These figures cover only vendors over the $100,000 disclosure line on each club’s most recent filing that reports contractor detail — not total outsourced spend.

What the data covers
Form 990 requires a nonprofit to name only its five highest-paid independent contractors, and only those paid $100,000 or more. So this page shows the largest vendor relationships — not a club’s total outsourced spend, and not vendors below the threshold. Footprint and market-share figures should be read against that ceiling.
How vendors are matched
Names are matched case-insensitively after trimming whitespace. A single firm operating under several legal entities — common in construction and golf management — will appear as distinct rows. We use each club’s most recent disclosure to avoid double-counting a vendor reported across several years.
Recurring vs. one-off
A relationship is recurring when the same vendor appears at a club across two or more filing years, or when a vendor serves more than one club. Everything else — one club, one year — is treated as a one-off project. Service categories are inferred from each vendor’s free-text service description.
