Club Management Information
GoforGolf is an Australian first for Golf Clubs/Courses & Driving Ranges. It provides access by the target audience, Golfers, to participating golf venues throughout Australia, from their ‘SmartPhone’. If the golfer is looking for a game of golf, based on a certain criteria, they are able to do it from their ‘SmartPhone’; whether it’s based on price, terrain (a flat or hilly course), 9 or 18 holes, easy or challenging, the GoforGolf SmartPhone App is the resource that will find it. It is non-restrictive, as long as you have a ‘SmartPhone’. It doesn’t matter whether you have an iPhone a Blackberry, Android or Windows or any other type of ‘SmartPhone’, GoforGolf will find a golf club or course with what you are looking for.
GoforGolf allows all golfers, club or social, tourists, travellers or holiday makers to plan and book golfing holidays from home, on the road, at a social gathering; in fact anywhere they have their ‘SmartPhone’. The information required is available on their Smartphone, Tablet or Computer at the press of a button.
Golf clubs can look at GoforGolf as an extension of their marketing arm, to promote all areas of their business. As well as the course, competitions, charity days, or maybe the Pro has something special to sell; it can also promote their facilities like function rooms. The information that GoforGolf provide, include course layout; terrain; green fees; availability; club & buggy hire; if it’s licensed or not; are there meals available; pro-shop; golf tuition or clinics; open competitions; special events; available club membership, and golfers can even book a round. Everything your club would like to promote or offer can be promoted on GoforGolf. Club Managers will have access to the site to list daily specials: eg, reduced rates for quiet days; two for ones; competitions & tournaments; charity days.
Golfers are on the move!
Golf is the largest participant sport in Australia; nearly 1.4 million people play the Royal & Ancient game. However, according to research, golf in Australia has changed dramatically over recent years in particular.
Club Membership comprises less than 40% of all golfers. This means that 60% (800,000+ people) are golfers on the move. Golf has changed dramatically for some of these reasons; the demographics have changed; younger golfers (20-40yrs) no longer want to play at the same course or club every week; they are looking for variety, something different.
Even club golfers are looking to play different types of courses, particularly when they go on holidays. Retirees are travelling around Australia with their golf clubs. Social golfers have been forming groups for some time. Whether it’s on a weekly, monthly or a weekend away, they want to play and experience a different course each time they play. As you can see, golfers are ‘on the move’.
GoforGolf provides access to all those golfers, including overseas tourists, wanting to play on our great courses. Now, for many clubs, the social golfer is one of their most important sources of revenue. GoforGolf in Australia will become one of Australia’s leading providers of social golfers and green fee revenue. Any additional green fee golfers potentially add revenue to other areas of the club, bar, meals and Pro-Shop will be obvious for increased revenue, adding to the sustainability of the golf club.
GoforGolf has introduced the most up to date technology in building our Web Generated App and will continue to introduce other features to our clients. GoforGolf Australia is also committed to continual improvement in its quest to be recognised as the ‘go to source’ for up to date information on individual clubs throughout Australia. Those clubs that join us can be assured that they will always be given the opportunity to take advantage of the latest in technology as it evolves.
