Chicago-Area Course to Enhance Players’ Experience, Operations
(CHANDLER, Ariz.) – ProLink Solutions — a wholly-owned subsidiary of ProLink Holdings Corp. (OTC BB: PLKH) and the world’s leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") systems for golf courses — today announces Crane’s Landing Golf Course at the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort (Lincolnshire, Ill.)will feature the ProLink Solutions Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") system used at many of the world’s most famous golf courses.
Occupying 170 acres just 50 minutes from downtown Chicago, Crane’s Landing was designed by legendary George Fazio in 1975. The Des Plaines River comes into view – and into play – on several holes while the well-bunkered, bentgrass greens demand accurate approaches. Measuring 6,290 yards from the blue tees, Crane’s Landing’s par-70 layout plays to a USGA Slope rating of 129.
"Crane’s Landing is a fine facility in one of America’s greatest golf regions, and it is a welcomed addition to our growing list oftrusted partners throughout the Midwest," says Lawrence Bain, President and CEO of ProLink Solutions.
"Our course rewards accuracy from tee to green, and the ProLink GPS system’s precise yardages and hole depictions provide a great aid to golfers," says Tim Pagel, Director of Golf at Crane’s Landing. "At the same time, ProLink’s management systems make course operations more efficient and cost-effective."
With ProLink’s patented, 10.4" high-resolution color screen — the industry’s largest – Crane’s Landing’s cart-mounted units display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes. Golfers at Crane’s Landing will also be able to order food and beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProStar screen.
