Product is fantastic and the service is outstanding.

As an owner of a very busy public golf course, it's important to keep players satisfied and returning to my facility. Keeping the turf protected from excessive cart traffic is a priority. The FAIRWAYiQ system and beepers placed in carts enable me to alert players that they are where they shouldn't be. The FAIRWAYiQ system has saved me money replacing damaged turf, offset labor shortages, and elevated the experience I can deliver to players. The system more than pays for itself. It's a game changer, and I highly recommend it.

​FAIRWAYiQ has helped us change the way we do business daily. Cart rotation is managed more easily than ever before with real-time data to ensure accuracy. We achieve greater yield in our tee sheets due to the improved pace of play management. We have also eliminated the lost revenue from residents beginning to play near their homes. I cannot imagine operating without FAIRWAYiQ. It is truly a part of our golf staff on a day-to-day basis.

The FAIRWAYiQ system has completely changed how we manage pace of play at Cape Cod National. The cart and caddie sensors have allowed us to proactively address slow groups and provide timely insight into the flow of play on the course. These features have led to enhanced member experiences, more efficient/effective ranger-runs, and the data to develop an accurate pace of play benchmark profile for the club. The FAIRWAY IQ customer service team has been very responsive, helpful, and adaptive to the needs of our club.

I highly recommend FAIRWAYiQ as a partner for tracking play at a golf facility. The system is easy to learn and use throughout the season. The program has armed our staff with the insight to make informed decisions to better the experience at Shelter Harbor Golf Club. Whenever there are questions, the FAIRWAYiQ staff is responsive. They also took our feedback seriously. I recommend this partnership to all facilities looking to solve pace of play issues before the problem is obvious.
