GolfTrac Product FAQS

Does GolfTrac golf course management software handle handicaps?

• Yes. GolfTrac has a built-in local handicap module and the formulas used to calculate a golfer's handicap are identical to those used by the USGA. However, the USGA does not endorse the VSI system because of perceived marketing conflicts with their own GHIN system.

Does GolfTrac provide golf tournament management software?

• Yes. GolfTrac contains several tournament options that allow you to load team match, team stroke, individual match and individual stroke. Revenue, expenses and prizes can be linked to the tournament to provide a true bottom line view. Tournament is integrated into the tee time system to block out required slots to cover the tourney play. Initial pairings can be made automatically using handicaps while subsequent rounds are paired based on tournament standings. Scorecards are printed to match the pairings for each round.

Can the GolfTrac tee time software handle weekday, weekend and holiday rates?

• When a greens fee is loaded into GolfTrac, you can restrict its use to certain days of the week and certain times of the day. This restriction logic allows you to create a weekday, weekend, holiday and twilight fee schedule that can't be manipulated. You can also link member and daily play rates to a transaction code so that the system can apply the appropriate fee automatically based on the golfer. Default greens fee codes are linked to each golfer type to make customer check-in a quick one step process under most conditions.

Will the point of sale software allow me to split sales between the owner and the pro?

• Yes. Transaction codes in GolfTrac have an owner/other split option. For courses where the pro controls the pro shop and the course owner controls the greens fees and carts, for instance, GolfTrac can be setup to report all sales on this basis without the clerk having to understand what goes where. This owner/other split can vary from transaction type to transaction type. For instance, there might be 100/0% owner/other on greens fees; 90/10% owner/other on carts and 0/100% owner/other on pro shop sales.

Do you have a more fully featured tournament system?

• Yes. If your needs exceed the standard GolfTrac capabilities, we also offer the Vision Perfect Tournament Manager (VP) software along with the VSI interface. VP provides group outings, unlimited formats, multiple events, and many standard reports.

Does tee time reservation software allow booking online?

• Yes. GolfTrac can process tee times using any of three (3) different methods (GolfTrac GUI, TeleTrac/Touch-Tone and WebTrac onlne tee time processing), all of which update the tee-times. Clerks can select a tee time manually and link it to both members and daily plays, customers can reserve tee times using the TeleTrac touch tone phone system, or customers can book tee times on the internet using the WebTrac online system. In all cases, reservations are made in a real-time mode thus eliminating any duplicate reservations. Tee time data is available in the POS software, so that when the golfer checks-in, the data is printed on the receipt for starter and ranger verification. Tee times are also available to the starter using a PDA or PC.
