Management firm engages golf’s largest, most active community through booking engine and technology-based marketing support services to increase rounds, revenues.
ORLANDO, Fla. (Feb. 5, 2013) – GolfNow, which helps course operators connect with golf’s largest and most active community to market their facilities and increase rounds and revenues, announced a multiyear agreement with Eagle Golf to continue to promote tee times and to provide technology-based marketing support to the management company’s managed and leased courses.
Eagle Golf will use the GolfNow online booking engine to market tee times at its 28 courses in seven states. GolfNow’s enhanced booking engine gives course operators greater functionality and flexibility when marketing tee times and makes it easier for golfers to reserve the tee time that fits their schedule and budget. The booking engine features GolfNow’s Dynamic Pricing Engine, a yield management tool that matches golfer demand and tee time availability to maximize revenues for operators.
“GolfNow has been good for our business,” said Joe Munsch, president and CEO of Dallas-based Eagle Golf. “We’re excited to continue to use the GolfNow yield management techniques to increase rounds and increase rates.”
GolfNow also will build and host websites for Eagle Golf facilities, create customized mobile websites and provide revenue management software and customer email marketing solutions.
“We like to think we’re on the leading edge of online and digital marketing, and GolfNow is going to help us stay there,” Munsch said. “They’re obviously a strong, innovative company, and we’re confident this relationship will continue to grow our business.”
In addition to Eagle Golf, leading management companies Billy Casper Golf and Troon Golf also partner with GolfNow for tee time and technology-based marketing support.
GolfNow is part of Golf Channel Solutions, the business-to-business arm for the world’s leading consumer tee-time portal. Golf Channel Solutions offers services that help golf courses connect with the growing number of golfers through technology-driven programs and services.
