Further Enhance Player Experience
 

(PINEHURST, N.C.) – Tagmarshal – the golf course intelligence and pace-of-play system used by golf courses, country clubs and resorts globally – is operational at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club, host of the 2019 U.S. Amateur Championship and one of Golf Digest’s top-five courses worldwide.

With more single golf championships than any other site in America and home to nine challenging golf courses, Pinehurst will enhance its already renowned player experience and increase operational efficiencies by using Tagmarshal’s sophisticated geo-tagging and pace algorithm software. Equipped with vital statistics, some courses will expect to see a 15-17 minute decrease for each round and increased maintenance efficiency due to the use of heat mapping.
 
“We are continuously looking for ways to improve our on-course capabilities and create more memorable experiences for guests,” says Matt Barksdale, PGA, Resort Head Golf Professional at Pinehurst Resort & Country Club. “The adoption of Tagmarshal has been seamless and the system has already produced positive insights for us to implement.”
 
Recent installments of the system across the country have created 70 percent of rounds being played on pace or within five minutes of target goal times. Top-ranked courses trusting Tagmarshal include Carnoustie Golf (The 2018 Open Championship), The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island Golf Resort (2021 PGA Championship), Whistling Straits (2020 Ryder Cup), Erin Hills (2017 U.S. Open), East Lake (2017 TOUR Championship), Valhalla (PGA Championship 2014), and more.

“Turning pace of play into a revenue generator is what makes Tagmarshal’s technology so powerful,” says Bodo Sieber, CEO of Tagmarshal. “Putting real-time intelligence into the hands of course managers gives them invaluable data to support the decisions they make.”

Partnering with Tagmarshal positions courses as industry leaders, giving them proven operational efficiencies, while superintendents use Tagmarshal data to better manage pin placements, wear patterns and hole set-ups.
