Broadlands Golf Course, Broomfield, Colo., installed the ProLink Solutions GPS system. Broadlands’ cart-mounted units with 10.4-inch screens display dynamic, easy-to-read graphics including distances to the pin and hazards, pro tips, pace-of-play timer and radial arc for cart-path-only holes. Golfers at Broadlands also will be able to order food and beverage items from the devices.
“The expansive fairways and ever-present water hazards at Broadlands make the ProLink GPS system a great tool for our golfers,” says Tim Schwartz, general manager at the Broadlands. “ProLink also helps maintain a steady pace of play, which is essential for customer satisfaction and course management. The system’s ability to drive additional revenue through food and beverage, pro shop sales and advertising makes it a necessity.”
Dick Phelps designed Broadlands Golf Course with four sets of tees, open fairways and water on 11 holes, providing a fair but challenging test for all golfers. Broadlands’ standout hole is the 15th, a 598-yard par 5 that can be reached by bold players cutting off the dogleg left. The course stretches to a daunting 7,263 yards from the back tees, with a USGA rating of 72.9.
