We are helping golf course operators explain performance, manage 3rd Party relationships and improve tee time pricing with data driven decisions.”
ORCA tracks occupancy percentage, revenue per available round, the channel mix of bookings, and the average rate per round. Participating golf courses are able to compare their performance to a self-selected competitive set of golf courses, whose data is displayed anonymously.
The more golf courses that confidentially share data with The ORCA Report, the more powerful golf course owners, operators and tourism entities become. The ORCA Report is being used by more than 250 golf courses in the Southwest, Northwest and Midwest.
