ProLink installed at three courses

Chandler, Ariz. – ChampionsGate Golf Club (Orlando, Fla.), The Palmer Course at the Westin La Cantera (San Antonio) and the Arizona Golf Resort (Phoenix) now feature the ProLink Solutions Global Positioning Satellite system.

ProLink GPS boasts a high-resolution, color monitor affixed to each golf cart. It displays accurate distances to the hole, as well as vibrant and 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. 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.

“These are high-end golf facilities located in golf-rich regions of the U.S., and we are excited to add them to our growing list of trusted partners,” says Lawrence Bain, president and c.e.o. of ProLink Solutions.

Arizona Golf Resort’s championship layout originally opened in 1960, and was re-designed by golf architect Arthur Jack Snyder in 1984.

ChampionsGate Golf Club is home to two 18-hole championship golf courses designed by architect and professional golfer, Greg Norman. Located just 15 minutes from Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, ChampionsGate plays host to the World Points Father/Son Challenge.

Designed by golfer and award-winning course designer Arnold Palmer, the 6,926-yard, par-71 Palmer Course is set in the terrain of the Texas Hill Country. Palmer and his design team routed the layout through the property’s highest points and around limestone rock outcroppings.

In addition to game-improvement and enjoyment features for golfers, ProLink has become a marketing and management tool for courses to quickly realize revenue increases and bottom-line savings. The reliable and robust ProLink GPS system enhances and benefits: food-and-beverage sales; green and cart fees; innovative and unobtrusive on-screen advertising for local businesses and course merchandise, tournaments and memberships; optimal tee-sheet yield; and enables courses to market a competitive advantage to secure more golf rounds from new and repeat players.

Via ProLink’s “solutions-based” approach, courses streamline operations, including more effective management of tournaments and outings, as well as cost savings from staff, yardage books and cart wear-and-tear efficiencies. From a central computer and two-way instant-message system, clubhouse staff can issue golfers “speed-up-play” and inclement-weather notices. ProLink’s medical assistance call button gives great comfort to on-course golfers as it allows for quicker reaction to medical emergencies.

Many courses acquire ProLink on a Pay-for-Play program that requires no upfront-investment.
