To enhance the golfing experience, BOYNE Golf has integrated the innovative Noteefy online tee time system across its Northern Michigan resort portfolio. This announcement marks a pivotal moment for golf enthusiasts, promising a seamless and efficient way to book tee times. But what exactly is Noteefy, and why is this development so crucial for the golfing community?
What is Noteefy?
Noteefy, pronounced “Notify,” is the first automated tee time assistant designed to streamline the booking process for golfers and golf courses. The system allows golfers to input their desired tee times and receive real-time notifications via text and email when a spot becomes available due to cancellations or new releases. This eliminates the need for golfers to constantly refresh their screens or call the pro shop to check for openings.
Research shows that more than 20% of tee times are canceled and not rebooked, leading to an average of $50,000 in lost revenue annually. Noteefy is commonly used to drive six-figure topline gains directly for golf courses and resorts.
BOYNE Golf’s Vision
BOYNE Golf’s decision to adopt the revolutionary system reflects its dedication to providing exceptional golfing experiences. Josh Richter, Senior Vice President of Golf Operations at Boyne Resorts, emphasized the importance of creating fun experiences for golfers.
“BOYNE Golf is in the business of creating fun experiences, and if the booking process is hard, the level of fun is diminished before golfers even arrive on the property,” said Richter. “Like OpenTable and Resy in the restaurant world, Noteefy is the concierge that does the work for golfers instead of forcing them to call the pro shop or refresh their screens for tee time openings.”
Jake Gordon, Founder and CEO of Noteefy, echoed this sentiment, highlighting how the system enhances the guest journey and generates meaningful revenue for BOYNE Golf by promoting greater demand for rebooking canceled tee times. This partnership is a testament to BOYNE Golf’s commitment to innovation and excellence in the golfing world.
The integration of Noteefy into BOYNE Golf’s operations is a game-changer for several reasons:
- Enhanced Convenience: Golfers can now easily book tee times at popular courses like Bay Harbor Golf Club, The Highlands, Boyne Mountain, and Crooked Tree Golf Club without the hassle of manual booking. This convenience ensures that golfers can focus more on enjoying their game and less on the logistics of securing a tee time.
- Increased Revenue: Noteefy helps golf courses recoup revenue lost from last-minute cancellations. Courses can maximize their capacity and generate additional income by promptly filling vacant tee times. Research shows that over 20% of tee times are canceled and not rebooked, leading to an average annual revenue loss of $50,000. Noteefy’s system directly addresses this issue, driving significant financial gains for golf courses.
- Improved Guest Experience: The Noteefy system elevates the guest journey by providing a seamless booking experience. Golfers receive notifications and can effortlessly book tee times, enhancing their overall satisfaction with the golfing experience. This focus on customer satisfaction aligns with BOYNE Golf’s commitment to world-class hospitality.
- Efficient Use of Resources: Noteefy automates the tee-time booking process, allowing golf courses to utilize their staff resources better. Course staff can focus on other essential tasks, knowing the booking system efficiently manages tee-time requests.
