Customer satisfaction at menu and service available in food and beverage shops in golf course clubhouse is not necessarily a critical requirement for customers to select a golf course, but such menu and service must not cause customers to feel discontent with the golf course. Thus, consumers’ behaviors of selecting desired food and beverage don’t depend simply on knowledge or information, but are a product of images we recognize. In such a context, this study aims to survey current customers of a golf course clubhouse to examine their preference for menu available there and determine potential effects of such preference on their satisfaction at menu, so that it may propose possible ways to improve the menu available at golf course clubhouse. To achieve the above goals, this study adopted approach of literature review and empirical research. Accordingly, as a part of empirical research, this study focused on menu as a means of sales at golf course clubhouse, a means of its management and a means of marketing, so that it could obtain findings of analysis on potential differences primarily in customer preference for menu depending on customer characteristics, and could find out whether customer satisfaction at menu might vary significantly depending upon customer preference for menu. As a result, this study could re-classify 14 variables of customer preference for menu into 5 major factors: Factor 1 (essential factor), Factor 2 (incidental factor), Factor 3 (extroversive factor), Factor 4 (constitutive factor) and Factor 5 (external factor). It was found that there were more or less differences in customer preference for each attribute of menu depending on customer characteristics. In particular, it was found that customer preference for menu varied depending on customers’ demographic characteristics such as sex, age, marital status, academic career, occupation, monthly average income, golf career and monthly use of golf course. And this study used regression analysis to determine potential effects of customer preference for menu of clubhouse upon customer satisfaction at its menu. As a result, it was found that Factor 5 had more significantly positive effects upon customer satisfaction than any other factors, which was followed by Factor 3, Factor 2 and Factor 1 respectively. However, recent customers have much diversified needs as their lifestyles change in various patterns. That is why it is required to implement market segmentation including customers' psychological, social and behavioral characteristics as well as their demographic characteristics. Hence, it is necessary for follow-up studies to try to make more detailed analysis on customer characteristics depending on various customer needs in order to timely respond to changing restaurant market.
