Gallus Golf, a technology company based in San Diego, developed a custom course app in 2012 for Minor Park Golf Course in Kansas City. After the positive results in their first season implementing the app, KC Parks has chosen Gallus to develop apps for 4 more of their courses in the area.
Julie Roberts, GM at Minor Park Golf course, had this to say about their new app:
“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. Smart phone users are in the majority and having your course displayed on their phone is the perfect way to strengthen your brand.”
