What is Pace Manager Systems?
The Truth About Slow Play
Having a “slow play” reputation robs a course of its true revenue potential. You know your reputation is at stake if your players aggressively compete for early starting times and your later ones go unused…if your actual starting times fall behind schedule…if your players complain about slow play…if your discounted “Twilight Rates” get pushed earlier and earlier in an attempt to attract players…or if none of your morning players will ever replay the course in the afternoon.
Like a headache, these symptoms are a painful indication of a deeper problem. Pace Manager Systems® helps you solve that problem by identifying the variables on your course that are causing it, and working with you to fix them.
Our Proven Approach
It couldn’t be simpler. Our solutions are understandable, they’re tailored to your course, they’re affordable, and they’re guaranteed.
Pace Manager Systems® has grouped the dozens of variables that are crippling smooth play into Five Major Factors:
- Management Policies and Practices
- Player Behavior
- Player Ability
- Course Maintenance and Set Up
- Course Design
We start with what you have the most control over: your management policies and practices. Through training, on-course activity, and the use of our Pace Manager Systems® tools and software, we work with your management team to fine tune your day-to-day practices and measure the positive results. Once these key management variables are under control, it becomes much easier to spot and deal with the truly slow players.
We provide you with an objective measure of how long it “should take” to play your course, so you can align the expectations of both your management team and your players to what your course design and setup can actually deliver. Then we establish the optimal operating practices based on the design of your course. And we make sure you know how to maintain those practices after we’re gone.
The benefits to you and your players will be immediate.
