RPTM 102A is a course designed to take a deep look into the success of some of the world's best golf operations, including but not limited to facility design and management, business planning, customer experiences, sales and merchandising, tournament operations, and golf tourism. The travel component for this course takes place over the spring break week each year and provides students with the opportunity to experience the facilities, region, and cultures first-hand, while also meeting with the management and staff of each facility. The out-of-class travel option will give the students an opportunity to experience different cultures, and to apply what was learned in class.
