GolfStatus Helped Our Inaugural Golf Tournament Fundraise Three Times What We Anticipated!

Overall, using GolfStatus helped us consolidate all contributions, payments, sponsorships and registrations into one easy to use platform. I would definitely recommend it!

PROS

GolfStatus made our lives so much easier! This was our first tournament and I was amazed at how easy GolfStatus was to use. All of our players, teams and sponsors registered online through the GS platform. They could easily select the sponsorship they wanted and go ahead and upload their logo. I loved that, if it were only one sponsorship offered, then GS would mark that as "sold" so you weren't selling sponsorships that were no longer available. We had several people mention how easy it was to register (easier than other platforms) and the reporting was super helpful for our own tracking purposes. They even added a donation link to our GS event, and we collected some unanticipated funds that way. Then at the end, they sent us a check with our funds (minus fees, which were minimal). The thing I liked the best, though, was the customer service. [SENSITIVE CONTENT], our contact, was always there to help immediately if we needed help or had a question. On the day of our tournament, he was even on standby to make sure things went off without a hitch. Not many companies have the bandwidth to do that, and it made us feel much more confident using the platform.

CONS

There were a few adjustments that we wanted to make that, because of how the software was built, were not possible. We wanted to add fields on various pages, but some pages did not allow edits. But this did not impact our sales or the operations of the tournament in any way. More flexibility in editing the imagery and the pages in general would be helpful.

Golf Outing Management

Our golf outing is an annual fundraiser for the boys' and girls' basketball programs at our high school. We typically have a full field for our golf outing, but it's not a fundraiser that's designed to raise tens of thousands of dollars. However, you never would have known that in dealing with GolfStatus. They treated us as if we were running the most prestigious golf outing in the world. We are very happy that we chose to use GolfStatus for our golf outing. Not only did it make publicizing and running our golf outing much easier, but GolfStatus's customer service and support were outstanding. They took the time to do an online demo while we were considering using the product. Once we decided to go with them, they created the website for us and then scheduled an online training session to teach us how to use and edit it. The week before the outing, they scheduled an online meeting with us in order to finalize any last-minute details and prepare us for what to do on the day of the outing. During the outing, their customer service was always available to answer any questions that we had. That was very impressive, especially considering that our outing was on a weekend. We couldn't be happier with our choice to use GolfStatus. We will use them again next year, and we would highly recommend them to anyone else who organizes and runs a golf outing.

PROS

The software made running our golf outing so much easier. We used GolfStatus in order to publicize our golf outing as well as to register golfers and donors online. Those were huge benefits for us as in the past we had to collect paper registration forms from each golfer and sponsor, and all payments had to be in the form of cash or check. It also greatly sped up the registration table on the day of our golf outing since all of our golfers had already registered and paid online beforehand. For the last several years, we've had a full field for our golf outing, and the waiting list was a nice feature because golfers could see who was already registered and know when the field was getting close to being full. This allowed us to have our field finalized much earlier than normal. The on-course scoring and skins tracking were game-changers for us as well. It saved us a tremendous amount of time at the end of the outing since we didn't have to sit down and figure out the golf outing winners and skins winners. The skins tracker was a fun feature for the golfers because they could see what skins were still available in real-time during the outing.

CONS

There really isn't much not to like. We are a nonprofit organization, so there was no cost for us to use the software, which was a huge benefit. If we could change anything, it would be to have an easier to way correct a team's scorecard while the golf outing was taking place. We had a team who mistakenly submitted their scorecard after the first hole, and it wasn't very easy to simply allow them back into the outing. To GolfStatus's credit, however, their customer service was online and helped walk us through how to get them back in the outing. It would also be nice if they had a built-in app for sponsors to resize their logos so that they fit the size requirements of the GolfStatus app. It wasn't difficult for us to do it using the software that GolfStatus recommended, but it did take some time as we had to do it for most of the sponsors since most didn't have the technology to resize their logos. Those were relatively minor hassles, however. The benefits of the GolfStatus app far outweigh any negatives.

Thank you for helping our nonprofit!

PROS

[SENSITIVE CONTENT] really helped make the entire process as simple as possible.

CONS

The home page was set up a little different, not allowing us to customize our top sponsor and our logo as much as we would've liked.

Muggsy Bogues Celebrity Golf Classic

Our overall experience has been excellent. Technical support has been really great - responsiveness, accuracy, etc. We intend to use GolfStatus again in 2023.

PROS

The best feature of the software is that we can upload sponsor logos on the site to use for promotional purposes. But better than that is the technical support received which isn't really about the software but very much worth mentioning. It feels like your GolfStatus support person is part of your team.

CONS

What I like least is that unique player names are not required for registration. Sometimes we end up with teams that have the same name listed for 4 players right before our event and need to scramble to get players names/emails.

Make Planning and Running Your Golf Fundraiser Hassle Free

Excellent from start to finish. [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and team delivered in every way from the first demo, to having a useable live registration page up and running in short order. Every question along the way was answered in a very timely manner. Can't imagine a better experience especially given this was the first fundraiser golf event I've ever run.

PROS

GolfStatus platform is exactly as advertised. It takes the challenging, behind the scenes planning, tracking, and fundraising (and collecting!) and makes it a simple, significantly less stressful process. The technology itself, for me as an ADMIN, for the Golf Professional the "day of", and the end user agreeing to play and support, is very simple, intuitive, and user friendly.

CONS

First time user and frankly can't come up with anything to "improve" it!

Reason for choosing GolfStatus

[SENSITIVE CONTENT]! From the introductory call with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the DEMO with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] I instantly knew I was in the right place. Their background knowledge and experience running and hosting golf events is the reason the platform is so simple and intuitive. They've lived through the challenges and frustrations and the platform (and back end support) is built to eliminate that stress. And it delivers! If you are responsible for running a golf event, big or small, do yourself a favor and make it run smoothly with the GolfStatus engine!
