ProLink Solutions, a provider of Global Positioning Satellite ("GPS") systems for golf courses -- announced Little River Golf & Resort in Pinehurst, N.C. now features the ProLink Solutions Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”) system used at many of the world’s most famous golf courses.
Little River Golf & Resort is the first property in the golf haven of Pinehurst to feature the ProLink system. In seeking to maintain its traditional golf feel while providing players with the latest in technology, Little River chose ProLink for its precise yardages, graphics and cart-to-clubhouse communications functions. The course has hosted many professional and amateur events in recent years and operators cite ProLink’s state-of-the-art tournament management system as an indispensable component.
“The hilly nature of our course makes it unique to the Pinehurst area, and the ProLink system’s exact distance measurements are a wonderful aid to Little River’s golfers,” says Marvin Waters, director of golf at Little River. “ProLink GPS also helps us realize pace-of-play improvements while providing our tournament players a great amenity in its dynamic leaderboard feature.”
Opened in 1996 and designed by noted course architect Dan Maples, Little River plays between 5,065 and 6,956 yards from its four sets of tees and features elevation changes uncommon for the area. In fact, the par-5 17th hole dives some 80 feet from tee to green. The course’s rolling topography, sand and water hazards reward accurate driving and solid ball-striking.
“Little River offers a premier golf experience in one of the game’s most tradition-rich regions, and we are proud to add it to our list of trusted partners,” says Lawrence Bain, President and CEO of ProLink Solutions.
With ProLink’s patented, 10.4-inch high-resolution color screen -- the industry’s largest – Little River Golf & Resort’s cart-mounted units 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 Little River will also be able to order food and beverage items with a touch of a button on the ProLink screen.
