Angeles National installs ProLink GPS

Sunland, Calif. – Angeles National Golf Club now features the ProLink Global Positioning Satellite system.

ProLink GPS boasts a high-resolution, color monitor affixed to each golf cart. It displays pinpoint-accurate distances to the hole, as well as easy-to-understand graphics of fairways and greens’ hazards and contours. Better navigating the course and taking guesswork out of the game aids golfers’ shot selections and, in turn, speeds pace of play at Angeles National Golf Club. Other features include ordering food and beverage at the touch of a button while on the course, as well as personal scoring and tournament leaderboards.

“We are excited to engage with ProLink and to feature its state-of-the-art, user-friendly amenity that augments the red-carpet treatment we provide to golfers,” says Vic Castro, director of marketing, tournaments and special events.  “No longer do out customers have to labor over finding sprinkler heads to mark yardage and be rushed into a bad shot. ProLink makes it easy.”

Angeles National is the first Nicklaus Design course in Los Angeles County, and was named one of the Top 10 courses in the United States and Top 30 courses in the world in 2004 by T+L Golf magazine.
