Milford, CT, October 1, 2008 – Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, NY has joined GOLF.com’s Course Finder LeaderBoard Program, announced Matt Kraus, president of TeeTimeWatch.com, GOLF.com’s exclusive marketing partner for the program.
The GOLF.com Course Finder LeaderBoard Program, now in its second year, secures top of page placement for participating golf courses when a local search is conducted on GOLF.com’s CourseFinder search tool – its online golf course search directory of 17,000 golf courses across the U.S. Courses can also directly link golfers to their website, on-line booking page, special offers and group outing requests.
Turning Stone Director of Golf, Robert Todd states, “We were impressed with the fact that the Leader Board Program not only builds awareness, but drives traffic and generates immediate sales. We’re reaching golfers in both our local marketing area and among the critical destination golfer market segment as well. It’s a great way for us to capture a leadership position in a cluttered marketplace.”
Located in the heart of Central New York’s scenic Mohawk Valley, Turning Stone features three award winning championship golf courses and is consistently ranked as one of the Top Resort courses in America. Turning Stone also hosts a PGA Tour event.
“Premier venues like Turning Stone join the LeaderBoard Program because they believe in the power of internet marketing, and they know GOLF.com is the leader in the golf space,” said Kraus. “They recognize the power of this highly targeted advertising medium.”
The GOLF.com website receives more than 1.2 million visits each month; Course Finder LeaderBoard ad placements are becoming an integral part of golf courses’ overall internet marketing strategies. Kraus continued, “The strength of this program is that it captures a golfer’s attention when he or she is planning a golf trip or looking for a place to play. This is a very powerful and rapidly growing tool.”
Placement opportunities are limited on an area basis. Courses interested in participating in the Course Finder LeaderBoard Program should call 203-874-4653.
