The adoption and proliferation of smartphones and related applications, or “apps” as they are more commonly known, has created a huge opportunity for golf courses to market and promote their facility. Best Approach has launched a program whereby courses can leverage their investment in media (yardage guides, flyovers, etc.) and turn that investment into a dynamic mobile application.We have developed templates for both iPhone and Droid applications that combine your existing yardage guide and/or flyovers along with additional course information, tee time booking, and location/contact details, all into one mobile application. The video presentation on the right highlights some of the features of our mobile applications. (Move your mouse over the video to view the control bar.)

How to get started?
If you are a current Best Approach customer, we will use your current yardage guide graphics, CourseFlight™ animated flyovers and GPS data to build your App(s). We will gather the Course Description and Contact information from your website. The course must provide the website URL to which the Tee Times section of your app will be linked. That’s all we need to get started.
After the app has been designed, you will receive screen shots of the iPhone app for your approval. When you have approved them, the app will be submitted to iTunes and/or the Android Market. Once the apps are live, you will be sent details about how to add promotional links to your website as well as a digital version of a promotional page which can be printed and displayed in the golf shop.
