Background: La Iguana Golf Course, nestled in Costa Rica’s lush jungle and designed by Ted Robinson, offers a world-class 18-hole, par-72 layout spanning 6,698 yards with a 73.4 course rating and 145 slope. Surrounded by breathtaking ocean views and vibrant native flora and fauna—including banana trees, orchids, monkeys, and over 150 bird species—the course blends natural beauty with a challenging design suitable for all skill levels. Complemented by PGA-qualified professionals, a full driving range, putting green, and premium equipment rentals, La Iguana delivers an exceptional golfing experience and top-tier facilities for players of every level.
Problem: Los Suenos Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort is focused on delivering a golf and spa experience beyond expectations. From luxury hotel rooms and suites with oceanfront views, to inspired dining options and top-shelf amenities, guests can enjoy the perfect vacation customized to their needs. The team at La Iguana Golf Course wanted to extend the same experience and convenience to the resort’s golf guests, offering a single, digital point of contact with course operators.
Solution: La Iguana Golf Course partnered with Gallus Golf to customize a branded mobile app to connect EZLinks tee time booking with league registration, in-app messaging and reward redemption. Gallus was able to incorporate digital member cards for 4 annual membership types, in addition to recognizing/validating Costa Rica Resident Cards for local play.
Results: La Iguana Golf Course was able to launch their custom branded app in fewer than two months, complete with EZLinks tee sheet integration; built-in league and tournament play; and digital scorecard with GPS tracking options. In fewer than 3 months La Iguana has achieved nearly 1000 active app users, with over 50% being Costa Rican residents.
Discussion/Lessons Learned: La Iguana Golf Course proudly uses BOOST Marketing services for all of their golf app promotional needs. From in-app notifications and messaging, to social media management, to league and event management, our team of marketing professionals knows how to engage with golf resort visitors to help provide a world-class experience, one incredible tee time at a time.
