Our guest this episode of The Chicago Golf Report podcast is Jake Gordon, the Co-Founder & CEO of Noteefy – the #1 demand automation platform for golf courses & resorts. Noteefy helps tens of thousands of golfers play more easily, and over 500+ golf course & resort operators fill every available tee time.
Noteefy is an automated tee time assistant designed to enhance the booking experience for golfers and improve revenue and efficiency for golf courses. It integrates directly with a course’s existing point-of-sale tee sheet without requiring extensive implementation.
Golfers can benefit from Noteefy’s technology at over a dozen local golf courses including Bolingbrook Golf Club, Cantigny Golf, Cog Hill Golf & Country Club, Harborside International Golf Center and The Glen Club.
Highlights from our discussion:
- Noteefy is a digital waitlist for golf courses. It integrates with existing tee sheets and notifies golfers when their desired tee time becomes available.
- Golfers don’t need a separate app. They simply use the golf course’s website to sign up for notifications.
- Noteefy monitors tee sheet inventory in real-time. When a tee time opens up (due to cancellation or new availability), golfers receive a personalized text message with a booking link.
- Jake Gordon, the CEO, is a former Accenture consultant. He developed Noteefy after experiencing frustration with finding tee times himself.
- The COVID-19 pandemic boosted golf’s popularity. This increased demand for tee times and highlighted the need for better inventory management tools.
- Noteefy helps golf courses reduce cancellations and no-shows. This increases revenue and improves efficiency.
- Noteefy has partnered with over 500 golf courses, including many top resorts. They are expanding their team to support customer success and sales.
- Jake emphasizes the importance of product-market fit. Early success with a diverse group of pilot courses (municipal, high-end daily fee, and resort) validated Noteefy’s value proposition.
- Noteefy is developing a new product to address no-shows. This will build upon their existing success in managing cancellations.
- Jake draws inspiration from other industries. He cites OpenTable as a model for customer-centric booking experiences and looks to healthcare for solutions to minimize no-shows.
