Golf Business Apps: Why Should the Canadian Industry Care?

Being App Savvy: Making Smart Choices For Your Golf Course

Golf apps are business tools

Just as a brochure or a website is or email or social media campaigns are. The business savvy club knows that a good, quality golf app is just as invaluable in reaching out and communicating with their members and visitors alike.

The right app can be the sum of all four aforementioned methods with its ability to be a powerful business tool of both beauty and of substance. It can reach out to members, enroll visitors, enhance experiences at your venue and boost your takings.

Before you invest in any app for your golf course, there are 3 key points to consider:

1) What features and functions do you wish to put in the your golf course app?

If you choose an app that only has a few options like contact details, course guides and flyovers, whilst they are very useful to the golfer, they by themselves do not generate the club an income/surplus. Ensuring you have a balance of features for both your members and your club will make the app a powerful marketing tool.

2) You have choice: do you want a native app or a web based/hybrid app?

It is very important to know the difference between the two because selecting the wrong one can cost your golf club dearly because internet connection maybe a big issue out on your course causing your app not to function when your member needs it most.

3) A golf course app is an investment and should be a reflection of club

...and the very last thing you want to do fall into the trap that some apps have making a few fundamental errors in their design and set up causing members and visitors to abandon the app even before they have finished one round! (From our research, having third party advertising pop ups was the biggest "no-no".)
