GPS systems cost thousands. Bob's math costs you tee times. There's a better way.
SimplePace runs on phones or tablets. No GPS hardware. No data plan impact. No overkill. Just simple pace tracking that actually works.
When rounds back up, players complain, staff guesses at solutions, and your operation loses efficiency. You need data, not guesswork.
Your starter enters cart numbers and tee times. The app calculates where carts should be. Your marshal sees where they actually are. That's it.
Single tap per group. Enter cart number and tee time. Takes seconds. The app starts tracking their expected position based on your pace standard.
Staff checks the app on their own phone or tablet—no data plan impact. The app shows where each cart SHOULD be at that exact moment: which hole, pinpointed to tee, fairway, or green. The marshal sees where they ACTUALLY are. Compare the two instantly.
When a group is outside your pace window, you know immediately—and exactly how far behind they are. Marshal steps in with data: "You're 15 minutes behind pace." Professional, factual, effective.

Golfer calls: "I'm in Cart 47 on Hole 12. The group ahead is so slow. Can you send a marshal?"
Your staff is guessing. "Sure, we'll send someone out." But where? They might pull a marshal from somewhere that actually needs attention. The golfer feels brushed off. You look uninformed.
Staff checks the app: "Cart 47 should be on Hole 12, green by now."
Golfer said they're on the tee box.
"Yes, I can SEE there's a backup. You're 15 minutes behind where you should be. We're sending a marshal to the group ahead right now."
Or:
"Actually, you're 10 minutes ahead of our pace standard. I know it feels slow, but you're making great time."
Either way, they sound informed because they ARE informed.
Courses with $15K-$30K GPS systems can do this.
Why spend that when a marshal can see what you need to know?
See where groups are right now and how they compare to your pace standard. Clear data for quick decisions.
Set target pace times for different group types, tee times, or course conditions. System adapts to your operation.
Plan and track shotgun tournaments with precision. Ensure all groups finish within reasonable windows.
See which holes consistently slow play. Validates marshal decisions with factual data. Teaches staff where to focus attention.
Give marshals factual data for player conversations. "You're 15 minutes behind pace" is clearer than "you seem slow."
Works on any device. Starter at first tee, pro shop staff, marshal on cart—everyone has access to the dashboard.
The goal isn't enforcement—it's smooth operations. SimplePace gives you the visibility to manage pace proactively, not reactively.
Approach slow groups with facts. Show them where they are relative to pace. Professional, not confrontational.
Is the slow group actually the problem, or are they just getting backed up by the group ahead? SimplePace shows you.
Over time, use analytics to identify systemic issues. Adjust tee time intervals, address bottleneck holes, optimize operations.
