Everything You Need to Know About HPS Golf
Practical answers to common questions about the platform, plaques, hosted booking, golfer identity, sponsor surfaces, and how HPS Golf is built to grow with your club.
What makes HPS Golf different from traditional golf software?
Most golf software solves one isolated problem — booking, handicaps, or point-of-sale. HPS Golf is built as a connected intelligence platform. It combines golf operations, sponsor intelligence, golfer identity, hosted booking, physical plaque surfaces, and QR engagement into one system that grows more valuable with every round played.
Where traditional software manages transactions, HPS Golf builds relationships — between the club and its golfers, between sponsors and the course, and between the physical course and the digital platform that powers it.
Does the golfer profile follow the golfer to other clubs?
Yes. A golfer who plays at any HPS Golf-powered course builds a portable profile that travels with them across the network. Scorecards, round history, stats, QR scan interactions, and future rewards all accumulate into a single golfer identity — not locked to a single club membership.
This means a golfer recognised at one HPS Golf club arrives at another already known to the platform. The engagement history, preferences, and context built over previous rounds inform how the course and sponsor surfaces respond to them on every future visit.
Can one club manage multiple courses?
Yes. The HPS Golf architecture is built around the relationship between clubs and courses. A single club can own and manage multiple courses under one account — each course operating independently within the platform while the club retains unified visibility across all of them.
Each course can carry its own tee sheet, sponsor assignments, plaque configurations, and operational settings. Club-level reporting and golfer identity connect across all courses in the group.
Can clubs keep their own branding?
Absolutely. Club branding is primary throughout the HPS Golf platform. The club name, logo, and visual identity appear front and center on hosted booking pages, golfer-facing experiences, and plaque surfaces. HPS Golf is the infrastructure — the club is always the brand the golfer sees.
For operators running multiple courses, each course can maintain its own distinct identity inside the same platform — ensuring that golfers experience each venue as its own club, even when they are all managed through one account.
What is hosted booking?
Hosted booking is a club-branded tee time booking page hosted and managed by HPS Golf. Clubs configure their identity, tee times, and pricing — and receive a clean, modern booking experience that is live immediately, without any changes to their existing website.
It is Phase 1 of the HPS Golf booking rollout. Clubs link to their hosted booking page from wherever they choose. Every booking made through it feeds the full HPS Golf platform — building tee sheet intelligence, golfer profiles, and sponsor match signals from the very first reservation. An embed and plugin option for deeper site integration is planned for Phase 2.
Are plaques part of the platform?
Yes. Plaques are a core HPS Golf differentiator — not a separate product. They are the physical intelligence layer that connects every cart, every hole, and every sponsor surface to the live platform. Cart plaques, hole plaques, and sponsor surfaces are configured, ordered, tracked, and managed entirely inside HPS Golf.
Each plaque carries a QR code that connects golfers to live digital content managed through the platform — sponsor pages, service requests, hole experiences, and future golfer-linked scan interactions — all updated in the platform without replacing the physical plaque.
Can plaques include emergency information?
Yes, and this is one of the most practical features of the HPS Golf physical surface layer. Every cart plaque includes an emergency information section — displaying the course emergency contact number, the cart identification, and course location details.
This gives golfers and first responders exact position context in the event of a medical emergency on the course. The information is permanent on the physical plaque and also accessible through the QR-linked digital page — meaning it is available even when the golfer cannot communicate directly.
Can sponsor surfaces be managed inside the platform?
Yes. Sponsor assignments, campaigns, and surface content are all managed through HPS Golf. Clubs assign sponsors to specific holes and carts, configure the digital content behind each sponsor's QR surface, and track engagement — scans, clicks, impressions, and campaign performance — from within the same platform they use for everything else.
When a sponsor changes, clubs update the assignment inside HPS Golf. The QR code on the physical plaque remains the same — the digital content behind it is updated instantly, without replacing any physical hardware.
Can clubs order plaques through HPS Golf?
Yes. Plaque ordering is built into the platform. Clubs configure their cart and hole plaque assignments — including sponsor branding, cart numbers, QR codes, and emergency information — and submit their order directly through HPS Golf. Production status, delivery tracking, and replacement workflows are all managed in the same place.
Physical fabrication is part of the HPS Golf system, not a separate vendor relationship. When plaques need to be replaced or a sponsor assignment changes, the reorder process runs through the platform — keeping the club's physical and digital surfaces in sync at all times.
Is HPS Golf only for one course, or can it scale across multiple clubs and courses?
HPS Golf is built to scale. The platform architecture places the Super Admin at the top, with clubs beneath, each owning one or more courses. A single operator can manage an entire portfolio of clubs and courses through one account — with each course running its own operations, sponsor surfaces, and tee sheet while club-level and network-level intelligence connects everything.
Golfer identity is portable across the network. Sponsor intelligence can span multiple locations. And as the HPS Golf platform grows, multi-club operators will have access to cross-club analytics, golfer network data, and future tools built specifically for groups managing golf operations at scale.
