In Ohio’s thriving sports and recreational industry, golf courses, tennis clubs, and country clubs depend on reliable IT systems to deliver exceptional member experiences and manage daily operations. Securafy provides tailored IT solutions to streamline bookings, secure member data, and support the unique needs of recreational facilities across the state.

Common IT Challenges in Country Clubs and Recreational Facilities

Country clubs and recreational facilities face unique technology challenges, including:

What Can you expect

Unreliable IT Systems: Difficulty ensuring consistent performance across booking platforms and operational systems.

Data Security: Protecting sensitive member and payment information from breaches.

Booking and Membership Management: Ensuring smooth, secure access to scheduling and member databases.

Compliance Requirements: Navigating privacy regulations and secure payment processing standards.

Why Cybersecurity is Crucial for Country Clubs and Recreational Facilities

Ohio’s country clubs and recreational facilities are more than just places for leisure—they’re a vital part of the state’s economy and community. With over 982 social and country clubs generating $378 million in revenue annually, and local parks and recreation contributing over $4.3 billion in economic activity, these businesses hold sensitive member data and process significant financial transactions daily.

However, the very systems that drive these facilities—booking platforms, payment processing systems, and member databases—are increasingly at risk of cyber threats. Here’s why cybersecurity is essential for this industry:

  1. Number of Social and Country Clubs: Ohio is home to 982 social and country clubs, employing over 12,000 individuals and generating approximately $378 million in revenue.

  2. Economic Impact of Parks and Recreation: In 2017, local park and recreation agencies in Ohio generated over $4.3 billion in economic activity, supporting more than 34,000 jobs and contributing significantly to the state's economy.

  3. Recreational Boating Industry: Recreational boating alone contributed approximately $3.6 billion to Ohio's economy in 2022, highlighting the substantial impact of recreational activities in the state.

  4. Tourism's Economic Contribution: In 2023, direct visitor spending in Ohio amounted to $42.8 billion, leading to a total economic impact of $70.7 billion when including indirect and induced effects. This activity sustained over 523,000 jobs and generated $4.6 billion in state and local tax revenues.
