    •  
  • Your Corporate Office - Managers and owners can easily access the tee sheets remotely using the EZLinks software.  View your course's real-time utilization statistics for the days ahead, or print reports showing reservation results for days gone by.

    •  
  • Affiliated Courses - Do you have a "sister course" in your area that you would like the ability to send tee times back-and-forth to?  If so, real-time, on-screen access to each other's tee sheets can easily be activated.  Reservation policies and security measures can be implemented to restrict select capabilities (i.e. Event cancellation).

    •  
  • ezlinks.com - Through the ezlinks.com web site and related marketing, EZLinks attempts to locate golfers across the globe and deliver them to your course.  While we never place our brand over yours, it is still an effective way to reach additional golfers.
     
  • EZLinks Partners - Numerous third-party companies, both regionally and nationally, use the EZLinks network for locating available tee times.  This is especially beneficial to courses in vacation and destination markets.

    •  
  • Nearby Hotels - Is there is a hotel, business or concierge in your area who you do business with?  If you want them to access your tee sheet directly without needing to call you or send fax requests, EZLinks will provide them with a login to the software, so they can make tee times to your course.  Yet you always maintain control over the rights and restrictions they must follow.

 FAQs

Q: Can I use just the tee sheet software without committing to the point-of-sale and/or reservation center?

A:  Absolutely!  EZLinks will help you determine which mix of applications and services is best for your business at this time.  You can always increase your usage of EZLinks later or as your needs change.  However, EZLinks encourages you to begin capturing your existing tee time demand as quickly as possible, in order to take advantage of your current revenue opportunities.

Q:  Is there a charge for software revisions?

A:  No. EZLinks software is constantly evolving.  We feel that as new features and capabilities are added to the basic software, you should benefit from those improvements.  Revision downloads are automated and always free of charge.

Q:  Why do other tee sheet companies charge more or less than EZLinks?

A:  Don't be tricked.  Look very closely when comparing "tee sheet" companies.  Most simply offer stand-alone software that is loaded on your golf shop computer.  In all likelihood, this software will never generate a single dollar for you.   EZLinks is unique, because you are joining a true golf reservation network, and acquiring a partner that is focused on increasing your rounds and revenue every year.  And in order insure that every type of golf operation can enjoy these benefits, EZLinks has developed creative pricing options to keep the cost of this partnership to a minimum - giving you more bang-for-the-buck than any other company is capable of providing.

Q:  I'm concerned about providing outside sources with access to my tee sheet.  What control do I maintain?

A:  This is a natural fear, so the EZLinks tee sheet was designed to give the course manager total control over who can access their tee sheet, and to what extent.  Whether it be the number of days in advance, the maximum number of players allowed, credit card requirements, time of day restrictions, or pricing differences, EZLinks can customize different policies and security levels for every source linked to your tee sheet.  And if you don't want them to actually see your tee sheet, an optional "search-only" function can be implemented.

Q.  Do I need to order any special equipment to utilize the EZLinks tee sheet software?

A:  The tee sheet software runs on any Windows-based PC with a screen resolution of at least 800x600 and 64 MB of RAM.  Also, a high-speed Internet connection is required to access the EZLinks centralized network.  If needed, EZLinks can assist with the installation of an adequate Internet circuit.  (NOTE: The EZLinks Point-Of-Sale system may have hardware requirements, depending on the services used.  See Point-Of-Sale for additional details.)
