Austin, Texas - UpLink Corporation, the industry leader in golf course management applications, helping courses realize increased profitability from integrated tournament management support, revolutionary golf car monitoring and management systems, and innovative sponsorship programs has installed its golf course management system at Blueberry Pines Golf Club (www.blueberrypinesgolf.com) located in Menahga, MN. This 18-hole course designed by Joel Goldstrand resides amongst the pure beauty that makes Northern Minnesota wonderful.
The decision by the Blueberry Pines Golf Club to install UpLink was based upon various components that UpLink's Course Management System can contribute to improving their operations and creating more revenue and profits; increasing food and beverage sales by marketing items and promoting the restaurant on the UpLink Caddy, managing tournaments, and attracting and retaining golfers with the UpLink System, which will set them apart from other courses in the immediate area.
According to Dan Miller, GM for the Blueberry Pines, "I was very intrigued by the quality and professionalism of the product. Our facility runs as many as forty events per year and I feel that with the Vision Perfect tournament management package integrated into UpLink, we could administer events with ease."
"The combination of all the positives that our system is contributing to the operation of the course continues to reinforce the decision by Blueberry Pines to install UpLink, states Glenn A. Pierce Jr., president and CEO of UpLink. "Add in the many ways that UpLink contributes to a courses' profitability, from generating additional food and beverage sales to creating profitable tournaments, to creating an additional revenues with AdSmart, a sponsorship program that allows courses to sell sponsorships to local business, makes the decision to deploy the system throughout their operation one of the best that they will make."
Continues Dan, "The fact that we could pocket additional revenues with AdSmart makes having UpLink that much better. Although we are in a fairly rural area, we have sold 10 slots at $1,500 per hole all before the installation of the system. We anticipate that additional businesses will sign up as they come by and familiarize themselves with UpLink and the impact that other businesses are experiencing. And, we foresee the systems hole sponsorship at its capacity next year bringing in a significant amount of additional revenues."
