Club Corps business model (as well as Troon & others), is simple. Economy of scale. Hire a #2 guy from a decent club and make him your superintendent. Have a "Sr. Superintendent" that oversees 8-10 Jr. Supers. Share equipment if necessary. Have a staff of 1000's to swap around as necessary. Have the collective knowledge of zillions of golf professionals and turf-management experts.
They can run courses cheaper than most clubs can run their own and they're making money on the arbitrage.
Similar to the business model I suggest for The Villages, instead of sub-contracting the work, individually.
