ORLANDO, Fla. – NBC Sports Next today announced that it is extending and enhancing its existing relationship with Supreme Golf through a multi-year agreement designed to bolster exposure for GolfNow public golf course partners and introduce a new membership tool for recreational golfers.
As the leading aggregator of golf course tee times offered by the industry’s largest providers, Supreme Golf’s relationship with GolfNow spans more than eight years and has helped GolfNow expand the global tee-time footprint for its more than 9,000 golf course partners.
“Continuing our relationship with Supreme Golf is great news for our many partners around the world who will benefit from the additional exposure the Supreme distribution channel will provide for their tee times,” said Jerramy Hainline, SVP & GM, Golf, NBC Sports Next. “As the industry leader in technology, lending our expertise to help other companies operate more efficiently and drive additional revenue is also a great growth driver for the sport.”
The expanded relationship will continue GolfNow’s affiliate relationship with Supreme, extending the display of tee times for sale on GolfNow to the Supreme Golf website. A new component includes provisions for technology that will create a Supreme Golf membership tool for public and semi-private courses, which will integrate with GolfNow’s EZLinks Golf-branded reservations software. The tool will offer an industry-best solution that automates billing, manages benefits like reciprocal play, delivers snapshot and detailed reporting, and can sell memberships straight from the booking engine.
“We are excited to continue our long-standing partnership with GolfNow. The integration of our powerful public membership platform allows courses to generate meaningful monthly recurring revenue by packaging underutilized assets such as pitching and putting greens, driving ranges, and off-peak tee times,” said Jonathan Wride, CEO of Supreme Golf. “For clubs with existing memberships and those looking to start generating recurring revenue, this is a game-changer.”
NBC Sports Next continues to find innovative golf-industry partners to expand its services to its vast community of golfers and golf courses. More than 9,000 golf courses in 24 countries around the world utilize GolfNow technology and services, with 3.5 million registered golfers relying on GolfNow to create an easy and seamless experience for booking tee times online and via mobile devices any time of day.
