Why spend money maintaining areas that aren’t used? Golfer heatmaps on the USGA Facility tool can tell you where your players are going – and more importantly - where they are not going. You can prioritize the areas that most impact golfer experience and save money on the areas that get less play.

• Course conditioning is the most important factor in the golfer experience. The USGA’s GPS
  Service shows you the traffic patterns of your golfers so you know precisely where you need
  to allocate more resources in order to provide better playing conditions.
• For golfers, pace of play is nearly as important as course conditioning. The GPS Service
  provides in-depth pace information – hole and round times for each group, gaps between
  groups, where the bottlenecks are. This information will allow you to focus on the players
  or the areas of the course that are causing delays.

Simply hand out loggers to your golfers prior to their rounds for several days, being sure to
collect them at the end of their rounds. You will then receive a year-long subscription to the
USGA Facility Tool, where you will access the heatmaps and the pace report, as well as other
features such as advanced real-time weather and map customization. In addition, you will
receive an hour-long phone consultation with a USGA agronomist.

  based on the data collected by the loggers
• The facility will receive an hour-long phone
  consultation with a USGA agronomist
