DALLAS, Texas — Century Golf Partners, in partnership with Arnold Palmer Golf Management, announced the appointment of John Martus, CPA, as the organization’s new Chief Financial Officer. The addition of a growth-focused CFO marks a pivotal development in the company’s 21-year history and signifies its commitment to accelerating growth and portfolio diversification.
Martus brings over 30 years of financial leadership to the role, having steered fiscal strategies across the restaurant, fitness, and marketing sectors. Most recently serving as CFO of Yadav Enterprises, his career includes senior leadership tenures at TruFit Athletic Clubs, Koko FitClub, Protocol, and Harte-Hanks.
In his new position, Martus will oversee accounting and finance functions across the company and lead its financial strategy, focusing on long-term planning, compliance, risk mitigation, and the fiscal discipline required to support growing and increasingly diverse holdings. His leadership will further strengthen the trust, accountability, and financial stewardship that are cornerstones of the organization’s success.
“After two decades of consistent growth, we are entering a chapter that requires a specific caliber of financial experience,” said Jim Hinckley, Founder and CEO of Century Golf Partners. “John brings the discipline and strategic perspective necessary to continue scaling our operations and expanding our company. His ability to translate complex financial data into operational excellence makes him the right leader to help achieve our financial goals.”
Martus, a CPA who holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Mount St. Mary’s University, will work closely with Chief Operating Officer Doug Howe and the senior leadership team to continue the company’s strong financial performance and pursue new opportunities.
“Century Golf has built an exceptional reputation for stability and excellence,” said Martus. “I look forward to building on that foundation and enhancing our financial systems to support our partners, our clubs, and the organization’s strategic growth.”
