SAN DIEGO, CA – January 18, 2018 – iGolf is excited to partner with Gallus Golf, a San Diego-based provider of custom-branded mobile applications for golf courses, private clubs, resorts, and multi-course operators. Through the partnership, iGolf’s global GPS course database and mapping technology will power the course intelligence within Gallus Golf’s mobile app platform, helping facilities deliver an accurate and engaging on-course experience directly through their own branded applications.
Through the partnership, Gallus Golf will integrate iGolf’s comprehensive GPS course database across its platform, providing the mapping foundation behind its tee-to-trouble GPS and other course-aware features. With iGolf’s database covering more than 40,000 mapped golf courses across 177 countries, including detailed hole layouts, green mapping, and geospatial information, Gallus can provide its golf course clients with accurate course intelligence while maintaining the individual branding and digital experience of each facility.
Gallus Golf is important to the golf course ecosystem because its technology gives individual facilities a direct digital connection with their golfers. Beyond GPS and interactive scorecards, Gallus-powered applications can incorporate golf games, statistics, tournament and league leaderboards, food and beverage ordering, loyalty and rewards programs, digital memberships, push notifications, tee time booking, and integrations with existing golf management systems. By bringing these capabilities together within a course’s own branded application, Gallus helps operators extend the relationship with their golfers before, during, and after the round.
“Gallus Golf provides golf courses with something increasingly important—a direct digital connection to their golfers under the facility’s own brand,” said Ryan Kimberling, Vice President of Sales & Strategy at iGolf. “That creates tremendous opportunities for courses to improve the on-course experience while also strengthening communication, engagement, and loyalty. We’re excited for iGolf’s course intelligence to power the GPS experience within the Gallus platform and ultimately reach golfers across hundreds of individual course applications.”
