Hole-in-One Contest Engagements

We help golf properties stage ongoing, turnkey campaigns.

Golf courses need to think and act creatively to secure new, qualified marketing leads. That’s where we come in: We help properties stage successful, turnkey hole-in-one contest engagements that add excitement to every player’s round.

WHY IS THE TURNKEY PROGRAM SO SUCCESSFUL?  

EXPERIENCE UnderPar, the long-standing leader in facilitating golf property marketing solutions, has launched a turnkey, hole-in-one contest solution for golf properties wanting to substantially grow their marketing email database. And the program is free.

SIMPLICITY Players pay NOTHING to participate. All they need to do is opt-in to the contest by providing us their email address and agreeing to the contest terms & conditions. Then, on a designated hole, each player takes a single, wishful swing. And we capture the whole experience via an HD camera that is remotely operated. No need for witnesses. Ever.   

THEY WIN. YOU WIN. When a golfer hits a hole-in-one they receive a $2,000 golf shop shopping spree –- paid for by UnderPar. Your golf course gains the full $2,000 transaction as top-line revenue, ensuring everyone benefits when the lucky golfer scores an ace.   

FUTURE BENEFITS Each golfer has knowingly “opted-in” to receive future email marketing messages from your property and UnderPar. The more qualified emails you collect, the more revenue you are guaranteed to generate in the very near future. And to kick things off, we’ll give you $1 for every email you collect that is new to UnderPar’s database.

UNDERPAR COVERS 100% OF ALL COSTS

WE PAY FOR:

CAMERA TECHNOLOGY Remote Spartan cameras, including all professional installation costs, feature: waterproof/weatherproof, remotely operated, powered by Verizon Wireless, do not require outside power or internet access, all footage is stored in the cloud, and no course management needed.

WEB PAGE We acquire a special URL particular to your property and build and host a simple web page where contestants sign-up.

PRINTING If needed, we cover the hard cost of printing entry cards which can be placed on carts, positioned at check-in, etc.

SHOPPING SPREE When a hole-in-one participant hits the “shot of their life,” we cover the cost of his or her $2,000 shopping spree. #winning

HOW EASY IS THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE? 

KNOWLEDGE UnderPar provides scripts for staff to help with communicating the campaign specifics to golfers. Bottom line: We work with partners to establish a process that is efficient and will lead to a significant number of golfers participating in the promotion every day.

SUCCESS We’ve come to find that the best way to ensure program success is for golfers to sign up at check-in or with the outside services staff/starter. Once the process is established, it becomes second nature to staff.

TECHNOLOGY We provide a dedicated web page where contestants’ email addresses are captured when they agree to T&C’s. The page is a simple and easy-to-facilitate solution for your tournament staff to email to events in advance of their big day.

PEACE-OF-MIND Every participating golf course can cancel the program with no penalty at any time. Not that you’d ever want to.

Our stay & play packages and golf-only offers generate significant, needle-moving top line revenue figures, in addition to the ancillary spend throughout the resort. If you are looking for a turnkey solution to fill tee times or put heads in beds with favorable commission rates, I would highly recommend contacting UnderPar.”

  • “Pine Needles/Mid Pines were the first properties to participate in the Carolinas Member Benefit Program three years ago. In three years, we’ve seen well into six-figures in rounds sold. Greg Knuth and the CGA worked with us to focus the offer into a November-to-March window when the new business would have the best impact on our tee sheets. We know that this particular audience is core, avid golfers from North and South Carolina that are good to have on property, and we plan on staging the promo yearly.”

    Kelly R. Miller, President
    Pine Needles Lodge/Mid Pines Inn

  • “The Arizona Golf Association and the Arizona Women’s Golf Association connected us with UnderPar who built our offer so that it was featured to the UnderPar, AGA, and AWGA member databases. With zero upfront costs, UnderPar produced an offer that made sense for our needs and brought in not just a large amount of golfers, but a large amount of the RIGHT type, and during the summer months where we can always use more of the right player on property. We are very happy with the outcome of our first offer and look forward to working with all three organizations in the future!”

    Jacob Hermes
    Director of Golf
    The Golf Club at Dove Mountain

  • “Here at Tijeras Creek Golf Club we just completed a combined offer with our sister course Monarch Beach Golf Links. We could not be happier at the amount of new business that was introduced to our facility. The idea of sending the offer to both databases brought a tremendous amount of avid golfers to our location that may not have considered a visit to our facility in the past. We were able to structure an enticing price that was a true value at both facilities, and ensured our brands were well represented. I feel the UnderPar campaign helped us not only fill our tee sheet, but also add repeat customers.”

    Tom Horaney, General Manager
    Tijeras Creek Golf Club

  • “In our role as a management company one of our most important responsibilities is to bring new golfers out to managed courses. UnderPar has always worked with us to structure offers that fill need periods with new golfers. They consistently create compelling promotions for us that raise our revenue without negatively affecting our regular business.”

  • “If I were to describe UnderPar in just one word, it would be “Easy …. uncomplicated, smooth, straightforward, cinch, simple.” Okay, got a little carried away, but UnderPar is just that!! It’s economics 101, when demand is low one needs to turn to UnderPar. We sold 800 rounds in just 6 weeks in a period of which is historically quiet! These very same players also ate in our restaurants and purchased items in the golf shop. We will be turning to UnderPar again [to run another promotion] here shortly!”

    Director of Golf
    Verrado Golf Club™/Victory at Verrado®

  • “We partner with Underpar and the SCGA to get access to the SCGA’s exclusive database of regional, high frequency golfers.
