I have some experience with this.
The Golf Course/Clubhouse I used to work at in High School/College in Wilmette, IL burned down thanks to a tiki-torch left lit overnight after party goers didn't put it out. Half of the clubhouse burnt down with the other half being "saved" by an old fashion firewall. But the building was so old (1920's or so) that the water damage from putting the fire out was too great and the park district decided to tear the whole thing down and build a new clubhouse.
All of the carts and course were unharmed, and the course actually opened either the next day or two days afterward. Eventually a week or so afterward they rolled in two temp trailers into the parking lot to serve as proshop/offices in one, and "restaurant/sitting area" in the other with 5 port-a-johns thrown in for good measure.
I think there are two ways you can take a situation like this. 1) would be to think this is a horrible situation and that the course will never make it without the banquet halls and the big clubhouse, and that a new and bigger building should be constructed ASAP. or 2) treat it as a great opportunity to start with an overhead-clean slate and to start a low maintenece golf club/course.
Many public (and some private) courses believe that food and beverage are these huge moneymakers...they aren't. The course I worked at was in a somewhat wealthy area, but the F&B part lost +/- $200,000 a year (!!!), while the course was and is a cash cow for the local park district. Unfortunatley in the end Park District ego and uncommon sense came through and they built a huge new clubhouse to compete with a "country club for a day" atmosphere.
What should they of done? Stuck with the trailers, torn down the clubhouse, and pumped the insurance money into the actual golf course. In the end, I think clubs should stick with their moneymakers, and try to get out of their own way. In the end, golfers really don't spend all that much money in on-course proshops anymore, they don't buy burgers and beers in the local snack shop...they play golf and come home.
Hope this helps!
