Minimum Requirements in Texas
Texas does not mandate a specific commercial liability policy for golf clubs and country clubs, but most facilities carry commercial general liability insurance to meet industry expectations and protect against common risks. Many vendors, tournament organizers, and contract partners require proof of liability coverage before working with a golf club. Coverage limits often start at one million per occurrence and two million aggregate, though we’ve seen many clubs choose higher limits to match the size of their property, membership activity, and daily guest volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
What additional insurance should country clubs and golf courses carry besides general liability?
In addition to general liability, many country clubs and golf clubs add property insurance for clubhouses and maintenance buildings, coverage for golf carts and course equipment, and protection for employee-related risks. This layered approach supports daily play, tournament hosting, and long-term stability across the country club and golf industry.
Is liquor liability coverage necessary for golf and country clubs?
If your club serves alcohol in the clubhouse, at banquets, or during tournaments, liquor liability coverage plays a key role. It addresses claims that arise from alcohol service and helps protect the club when hosting member events, outings, and private functions.
How does insurance help protect country club buildings, grounds, and amenities?
Country club insurance can include property coverage that protects clubhouses, dining areas, pro shops, pools, tennis courts, and maintenance facilities. It responds to covered damage involving structures, landscaping features, and essential equipment so operations can resume quickly after a loss.
Why should a club consider business income or interruption coverage?
When a covered event, such as a fire or severe storm, forces a temporary closure, business income coverage can help replace lost revenue while repairs take place. For golf and country clubs that rely on memberships, events, and seasonal activity, this protection helps maintain financial stability during downtime.
What coverage addresses staff-related or employment claims at a golf club?
Employment practices liability coverage responds when an employee brings forward allegations involving workplace conduct, hiring decisions, termination, or other job-related disputes. Including this protection within your broader club insurance program and overall country club insurance program helps support responsible management and addresses risks that arise in day-to-day operations.
