One Saturday, after overnight rain

Rain overnight. Open by 5:54.

Mel is head pro at Ironbark Hills Golf Club in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It rained overnight, so on most Saturdays the pro shop phone rings from six with the same question. Leanne in the office has a wedding enquiry waiting by morning tea. This is that Saturday with LocalGenius.

Ironbark Hills, Mel, Leanne, Ben, Hannah and Josh are made up to show how it works
5:52amSaturday

Mel walks the 1st and says it once.

"Course is open, carts allowed, cart path only on the 14th." Mel says it into the LocalGenius app on the way back to the pro shop. Two minutes later the course conditions are on the website, your Google profile, Facebook and Instagram. Nobody has to ring and ask.

  • A Course conditions bar on every page

“Golf course near me”, and the answer says open.

Ben is up from Brisbane for the weekend with two mates. He searches from the motel. Ironbark Hills has a Visitors page, so Google shows it with the course conditions, and the Book a tee time button opens your own tee sheet. The booking and the green fee are handled there, just like now.

A wedding enquiry, answered with your Weddings page.

Hannah and Josh message on Instagram: married next October, about 90 guests, can they have it at the clubhouse? It lands in the LocalGenius inbox with every Facebook, email, chat and website message. Leanne taps the saved reply for weddings, which links to the Weddings page with the packages, menus and photos, and offers a walk-through.

Hannah and Josh · Instagram · 10:09amHi! We just got engaged and we're thinking next October. Do you do weddings at the clubhouse? It'd be about 90 guests, and we'd love photos on the course 😍
Leanne · reply on Instagram · 10:15amCongratulations, you two! Yes, we'd love to have you. Everything's on our Weddings page: ceremony on the 18th green, reception in the clubhouse, menus and real photos. If you'd like a walk-through, pick a time on the page and I'll show you around.

Up from Brisbane for the weekend. The website said open and carts on before we left the motel, booking took a minute, and the greens were quick. Great club.

That was one Saturday. LocalGenius does it every week.

Your pages

Every page a golfer looks for, before the first tee.

Visitors want green fees and the dress code. Locals want to know about membership. Couples want to see the 18th at sunset. Each gets its own page, written in plain words, and you approve every one.

    Questions

    What golf clubs ask us.

    $29.99 a month to start

    Four plans, from a simple website to fully managed. Free domain for the first year.

    See all plans →
    Do you take over our tee sheet or bookings?

    No. Your Book a tee time buttons open the system you already use, like MiClub, Golf Genius or Quick18. Tee times, green fees, competitions and membership payments all stay there. LocalGenius brings golfers to them.

    Can the pro shop update course conditions?

    Yes. Type it on your dashboard today, or say it into the LocalGenius app when it arrives ("course is open, carts allowed"). The conditions bar on your website, your Google profile and your Facebook and Instagram all change together, after you tap Publish.

    Where do wedding and function enquiries go?

    Into one inbox, with your Facebook and Instagram messages, website chat, forms and email, each marked with where it came from. Reply with a link to your Weddings or Functions page, where your packages, menus and photos live.

    Can people ask about membership online?

    Yes. Your Membership page explains each category in plain words, and its enquiry form comes to the club office in the same inbox. Joining and paying stays in your club system.

    Next Saturday, nobody rings to ask. They already know you're open.

    Get your golf club website up, then let LocalGenius look after the pages, the messages, the posts and the reviews.
