Shepherd’s Crook Sees Quick.golf Success
A Record Number of Pay-By-Holes Played in August
Shepherd’s Crook Golf Course, the pride of Zion, IL, just outside Chicago, set a Quick.golf record in August for holes played and transacted on the Quick.golf web app.
“We saw an immediate response once we more aggressively promoted the availability of Quick.golf pay by hole,” says Shepherd’s Crook GM Allen Parkes. “With dwindling daylight, we set the start time at 5:00pm. Most of our Quick.golf golfers started after 6:00 and played anywhere from 5 to 18 holes (this guy played fast). We love the incremental revenue, and we love seeing golfers take advantage of another way to play when there’s no time to play a full round. You just have to let golfers know they can pay by the hole, and they’ll do it.”
Reid R. told us, “My friends and I play after work and like not having to pay a full greens fee and rush to get in 18 holes. We play whatever daylight gives us, and love paying just for what we play.”
“My wife thinks I’m working late, and instead I’m playing 6 or 7 holes on the way home,” reports Mark S. “I love it because two of the holes are the ones I have the most trouble with when I play my weekend matches, so I get a chance to practice on them without paying a full greens fee rather than banging balls on the range.”
“We worked closely with Allen at Shepherd’s Crook to develop and distribute emails and social media messages promoting Quick.golf,” says Quick.golf co-founder Harvey Silverman. “It’s really easy to do, and golfers appreciate having another way to play and enjoy the game. Unless you are shutting down at 6pm, why not gain some incremental business and make your customers happy with Quick.golf?”
