THE POSITIVES

  • Cost-effectiveness: By offering leasing options and the flexibility to equip only a portion of your golf carts with PaceKeeper devices, the technology helps minimize upfront costs and financial burden.
  • Ease of operation: The simplicity of attaching the device to golf carts via magnets and its intuitive interface make it easy for staff to install and operate, requiring minimal training.

THE NEGATIVES

Limited functionality: While PaceKeeper effectively tracks pace of play and helps identify issues, there may be room for enhancement in terms of additional features. For example:

  • The ability to remotely shut down carts that are in restricted areas could further streamline course management and enforcement of rules.
  • Lack of communication capabilities: Integrating communication features into PaceKeeper to relay messages or alerts directly to golfers could improve the overall golfing experience and facilitate better coordination between staff and players. This could include notifications about pace of play, course conditions, or safety reminders.

Summary: 

As the General Manager and Head Golf Professional at Virtues Golf Club, I understand the paramount importance of maintaining an optimal pace of play on the golf course. That's why I'm thrilled to share my experience with PaceKeeper, a game-changing GPS device that revolutionized our approach to managing pace issues. PaceKeeper's compact design and magnetic attachment make it incredibly easy to install on golf carts, providing real-time tracking of each group's progress across the course. This feature alone has been invaluable in helping our pro shop team identify and address pace issues swiftly and effectively. What truly sets PaceKeeper apart is its leasing flexibility. With the option to lease just one unit for every three or four golfers, we've been able to tailor our investment to match our specific needs without being financially tied down to outfitting every cart. In our case, deploying 20 to 25 devices has been more than sufficient to ensure smooth operations throughout the day. Thanks to PaceKeeper, we've seen a noticeable improvement in pace of play, enhancing the overall experience for our guests and maximizing efficiency on the course. Whether you're a golf course manager or a passionate golfer looking to optimize your rounds, I highly recommend PaceKeeper for its reliability, ease of use, and game-changing impact.
