TESTIMONIALS

"We launched our APP on March 14th, 2014. In the first year we booked $1.2 Million worth of bookings through the APP across our three championship courses which equates to 27,291 rounds – approx. 20% of our overall bookings. We drove approx. $50K worth of additional revenue into under-utilized times in just 9 months of using the APP. We have about 7000 users currently subscribed to the APP – we were thrilled to hit the 5000 subscriber mark within 5 months of launching the APP. We are looking forward to 2015 – our goal is to increase our APP channel bookings to 35% of our overall booking stream. Spring will give us a great opportunity to drive more traffic into our shoulder season and ramp up our season going into summer!"

Joan Probert, Supervisor of Business Service | The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation

"Our Gallus Golf apps have been the biggest most important thing we’ve done for our courses in the last two years!"

Matt Amundsen | Premier Golf Centers (12 total facilities using Gallus)

"We partnered with Rob Hoffman at Gallus Golf to launch a customized app for the Heritage Collection on Hilton Head Island (for Palmetto Hall Plantation Club, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club, Oyster Reef Golf Club, and Shipyard Golf Club) and TPC Tampa Bay. Our members and daily-fee resort guests enjoy using the app for GPS and a digital scorecard. Furthermore, the app is great for organizing tournaments and outings. We are also leveraging the app to promote our food and beverage offerings. Rob is very proactive, notifying us about enhanced features on the app and how we can promote it to offer even more value to our database. We have seen a strong ROI investing with Gallus Golf and we are proud to partner with them."

"I am very pleased with our Gallus App. I have literally pulled people out of the parking lot of another golf course using the push feature. I am currently selling ad space for the hole alerts for next season. The live scoreboard has been a big hit with our outings, and I have been able to use that as closing item when booking new outing groups."

Peter Lee | Madison CC

"Gallus will continue to have my business for the following reasons:
They are the most current, up to date, and advanced app program available to meet my needs.
They are ever changing in this ever changing industry. Recently they updated our app to be even more enticing to our golfers, drawing them even closer to the app. I had several changes I wanted to make specifically for my course and my account rep, Rob, did this without hesitation and even gave me better ideas specifically for my municipal golf course. All of this was done within 24 hours. The personal service, the professionalism, and the technology from Gallus is just plain superior to any other product."

Geanna DeBenedetti | Las Positas GC

"We here at Waikoloa Beach & Kings’ Course have worked with Gallus Golf for two years. The service has been exceptional from technical support to marketing support. We can always rely on Gallus to get back with results for whatever we need for our app. The Gallus App has proven to be a great tool for our guests with the G.P.S., scoring results, and booking tee times."

Becky Ryan, Sales and Marketing Administrator | Waikoloa Beach Resort Golf

"Our new Gallus Golf App has provided us with another fantastic tool to engage our customers. The GPS works fantastic and the leaderboard has been a favorite with our Men’s Night. We look forward to using more Gallus Golf App functions by promoting the Facebook integration and sending out rate specials with the push notification. We certainly receive great value for what we pay."

Slade King, COO of Play Golf Calgary | HeatherGlen GC, The Links of GlenEagles, Blue Devil GC

"The custom app has been a very exciting addition here at The City of Calgary! Our most recent push notification went out to over 3000 golfers! Overall, the Gallus Golf App is an incredible product for us."

April Tanner | City of Calgary

"I wanted to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Gallus Golf and their awesome support team. We were excited to offer an App for our members and golfers and from the moment of our demo, to the decision to move forward with Gallus Golf, they have not only met but exceeded our expectations. This wasn't a typical buying experience where you feel abandoned after the final payment. Rob Hoffman and the Gallus Golf team have been holding my hand through the process of implementation as well as promoting and providing input on increasing downloads and making the product useable for our members and customers. I am grateful for this partnership and would happily recommend Gallus Golf to any Golf Club. Thanks for making this a super positive experience!"

Margie Martin, Sales Director | TPC Tampa Bay

"I am loving the new Gallus Golf app for Stonebridge Golf Club. It's important to be on the cutting edge of technology in today's market and the gallus golf app does exactly that. The ability to provide the golfer with a digital scorecard and accurate GPS for free makes downloading the app a no-brainer for the golfer. The ability to send push notifications and create custom messages to our customers in real time to create additional revenue makes purchasing the app a no brainer for the operator."

Paul Phillips | Stonebridge GC

"We are relatively new with Gallus Golf and our mobile app, but even in our short time having the app, our experience has been that Gallus is one of the most active companies we could have hoped to work with in regard to helping us reach success with our investment with them. From helping with our marketing initiatives in the app, to helping us launch month long tournaments, to finding ways to continue to drive downloads, and more, we are extremely pleased with our choice to go with Gallus Golf for our mobile app needs."

Ryan Kraushofer | Westminster National GC

"Partnering with Gallus Golf to deliver the Crystal Caddy App has been an absolute hit with our golfers! The App’s ability to keep score on your phone, get distances to the flag in an instant, order up lunch anytime on the course, or brag about birdies are just some of the ways that Crystal Caddy App has elevated the playing experience to whole new level.
And there are more of these golfers due to the App’s tee time booking capability. The Caddy App’s push notification feature enables us to send out promotional notices and event invitations in a way that enhances the relationship with our golfers. The golfers love getting them and we enjoy its marketing advances. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our Gallus Golf partnership. Gallus is the best!"

Art Walton, GM | Crystal Springs Golf Resort

"Our custom App has been a huge success at Minor Park Golf Course. Staying competitive in today’s golf market is a challenge, but thanks to the Gallus Golf App we have added GPS, digital scoring, and other great features to provide an upscale amenity at our value-priced municipal facility. Municipal courses typically attract budget-minded golfers such as college students, walkers, and retirees who don’t want to invest in a golf-specific GPS unit or cart rental. At our $25 price point providing the ‘Minor Park App’ for free has been a major ‘value-added bonus’ for our patrons. Without a doubt it has increased loyalty and repeat play. Creating our Gallus App was an excellent use of advertising dollars; instead of paying a magazine or online tee time site to discount our rounds of golf, we find it is more profitable to add value to our product so we may uphold rack rates. Smartphone users are in the majority and having your course displayed on their phone is the perfect way to strengthen your brand."

Julie Roberts, GM | Minor Park Golf Course

"The mobile app from Gallus Golf has been the missing piece we have been missing to take Northlands GC to the next level of customer service and connecting with our customers.
The ease in which our customers can book a tee time from anywhere with their phone is invaluable. The on-course GPS feature has improved our pace of play and immediate social media accessibility has and will continue to improve our bottom line."

Gary Nedergard, GM | Northlands Golf Course

"Having the Gallus Golf smartphone app, customized to our course, might be the coolest thing we’ve ever done. Our customers love it and use it every time they play, and use it to reserve tee times too. Being a San Francisco Bay area course, technology is king. The app gives us a technology edge over our “not quite with it” competition, and has created a stronger loyalty link with our customers that reveals itself on the bottom line. We all have websites, we all do email marketing. Our difference is we’ve gone mobile with an app customers adopt and use quickly, and with ease. Call me when you have something better."

Jim Collins, GM | San Ramon Golf Club

"I always had an idea that I wanted to have an app for our golf course. I was so excited when came across Gallus Golf's website this past winter, it was everything I had ever wanted and more. They have thought of everything and keep coming out with more great ideas and advancements all the time. With the way technology has changed, as a golf course I felt that we had to change with it. People are so in their mobile phones these days, an app like this adds a whole other element to the game of golf and an extra bonus to them for playing your course. From a business perspective, I've found it has brought new customers in who just had to try it, loved it and there you have it repeat business. It's a great way to get specials and info out fast to your actual customer. We have definitely seen a return on this investment and hope to for years to come. Can't wait to see what they will come up with next!"

Larissa LeGros, GM | Deer Run Golf Course, Blenheim, Ontario, Canada

"Gallus Golf has been an exceptional partner in working to deploy our new golf app. It was very easy to set up (actually Gallus did most of the work!), reasonably priced and we’ve already made back what we put into it in under a month of being deployed!"

Erica Sheets | Palmetto Dunes Golf Resort

"The Gallus Golf App has enhanced the golfer experience for our customer in a way no other facility around us can claim. The live scoring has been a big hit by individuals and with custom events for our members. Most importantly, Gallus has been right by our side when we have required assistance and when we have activated a new service with the app. This is fun technology at a reasonable price."

Mark Larrabee, PGA Golf Professional | Eastman Golf Links

"I have been using the Gallas Golf app now for around 3 weeks. I feel that it's simplistic features are very easy to use but at the same time offer more features than any other app in the marketplace. It seamlessly moves from hole to hole and offers you the chance to add your scores to the scorecard before going back into the simple gps.
As a business tool it is even better, as it’s a free app we have had over 600 downloads in a very short space of time and this gives us the chance to get our message out to a lot of people with the click of a button. Only last week we send a push notification on a Friday lunchtime and 597 people saw our message. We feel that going forwards the Gallas Golf App will help us to promote and grow out business in what is a very tough economic climate.
To close I would recommend the App to any Golf Club looking for an easy and affordable way to promote their club."

Craig Sutherland | Cherry Lodge GC, United Kingdom

"Our members response to our new mobile app has been awesome! We truly believe that our members are playing more and having more fun. We hope adding video lessons to our app will encourage our members to practice and learn to play better golf and have more fun."

Randy Watkins | Randy Watkins GC

"Our new custom app has been a very popular tool to engage our golfers and they are loving it! The push notifications and news area have been extremely helpful in getting information out to golfers quickly. We have seen the many features in the app take our golfer’s experience to another level."

Chris Robinson | Mariah Hills

"The Gallus Golf App has been a real success and great tool for us to reach 1000's of our customers weekly. It has been very popular among our golfers right from the start! Everyone is engaged with the app, and really enjoying all of the features it provides from the scorecard to the live leaderboards. It is great to see everything the app is providing for our course."

Graeme Kreiner, CPGA Head Golf Professional | Golden Golf Club

"The Gallus app is great! I definitely have seen a big difference ever since we started doing the push notifications! We have a Men's league every Thursday night and I have seen a BIG difference in people! We used to have about 15 people come and now I am having 25-30 people every Thursday now that I send those notifications out!"

Alex Demers | Hampden Country Club

"Our new custom app is a great addition for us here at Jack Tone Golf. Just a couple weeks into our soft launch we can already see the potential it holds. We are currently first in our region in this month’s September Showdown challenge on the Gallus Tour. Overall, we are extremely happy with the product and excited to see it grow to it’s fullest potential!"

Aaron Heether | Jack Tone Golf

"Our custom golf app has been a success for us here at the City of Grand Junction. It has really enabled us to execute the real time communication we were looking for and golfers are loving it. We have found the instant message feature beneficial in filling open team times, and look forward to even using it during frost delays. Customization of the buttons in the app and pop-ups for sponsors during tournaments have really come in handy. Overall, the app has really helped our course stand out, and bring our course to a different level in the golf industry."

Mike Mendelson | City of Grand Junction Golf Course

"The Legends Club app has been a fantastic tool for us and is really running well. We are pleased to see that our frequent golfers use the app religiously and like the perk of booking tee times directly through the app. The live leaderboards are an exciting feature that we are looking at running on the clubhouse TV screens for tournaments. The Gallus Tour program in the app is a great addition to enhance the experience at our course."

Jeff Kennedy | Legends Club

"Our golf app is running great for us, and we had another successful year with it. The app has provided us with another excellent marketing tool to engage our customers. We particularly like sending out the instant messages and communicating with them in real time. It is nice to be able to offer GPS and Golf Canada score posting. We look forward to getting more golfers playing in the Gallus Tour Program and posting live leaderboards to our TV screens in the clubhouse."
