Protect the Turf

Maintain quality turf conditions and reduces turf costs by managing cart traffic. Real-time alerts, text communication to players, and optional beeper to alert the player.

“FAIRWAYiQ has helped our course in so many ways. It has made conversations with staff to players easier, and the line of communication simpler. There’s no going back to the old school way after FAIRWAYIQ.”

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.

Easy as 1-2-3

Step 1

The golf course is geofenced

Our team collaborates closely with yours to establish geofences around every section of the golf course - from tees and greens to fairways and other designated areas.

As part of our commitment to your success, our dedicated customer support team handles all initial setup tasks and provides comprehensive training to empower your team in making necessary adjustments.

Additionally, we proactively monitor the system, ensuring precise settings for optimal performance.

Step 2

Areas or holes can be turned on/off as required

Modifying the configuration of protected areas based on cart traffic is a straightforward process.

Effortlessly adjust the settings from any device to adapt to wet sections of the course, ensuring a seamless transition and optimal performance.

Step 3

Geofence configurations are promptly transmitted to the cart

Edge computing truly showcases its value in this scenario.

With all the configuration data stored on the golf cart, there is no delay in receiving alerts or sounding the cart beeper.

Rest assured, the cart beeper is sufficiently loud and effectively encourages players to adjust their behavior.

You have the flexibility to either dispatch your team for direct communication with players or opt for the convenience of sending text messages.

Additionally, we offer the capability to send real-time messages to players who violate geofencing, ensuring they are promptly informed.

Staff Notifications

Real-time area violation notifications are sent to your team.

Your team will be alerted in real-time to restricted area violations so they can address them as needed.

Repeat offenders can be coached during the round and the staff can speak to members after the round or use the data for governance purposes.

Optional Beeper

The optional beeper is an added alert to the player

Enhance your carts with our optional beeper, designed to emit a loud sound whenever players enter a restricted area. The beeper will persistently alert them until the cart exits the region.

Elevate your gameplay experience with this innovative addition. No alteration to the cart is necessary.

FAQs

Here are answers to the common questions.

How does the beeper work?

The beeper is hidden under the seat. No cart alterations like drilling are required to install the beeper. When a cart enters an area that it shouldn't be in, a loud beep will sound until the player leaves the area. The beep is loud enough to be embarrassed, while not too loud to bother other groups during play.

Do I need the beeper to alert players of geofence violations?

Not necessarily. It's a personal preference on how you want to run your operation. Even without beepers, our system will log geofence violations and notify staff in real-time. We also have the option to notify players through text notifications to their mobile phone. Some facilities also want to add protection of the beeper to alert players they are in an areas they shouldn't be.
