Over the years, we have seen far too many wonderful courses either convert from private to public or close down completely due to simple marketing errors. Don't let this happen to you ... we can help!

As noted throughout MichianaGolf.com™, and detailed on the About Us page, our primary aim is to stimulate golf in the "Michiana" area while making this a better place to live and work for us all.

We offer numerous golf course marketing tools that range from the inexpensive to FREE ... hard to believe we know! Golf specials, tips, website hosting, print materials, etc.; all designed to funnel golfers to YOUR course and encourage repeat visits.

• Golf Specials: Have a golf special? Let us run it for you through MichianaGolf.com™! We will feature a "downloadable" coupon/flyer for visitors to bring to your course and available to you for tracking purposes.

  Here's an example coupon/flyer — this file is in the convenient Adobe PDF format.

  Don't have the Adobe PDF Reader program or need to update your current copy? This program is FREE and may be downloaded from the Adobe Website.

  If your golf special is unique to our site, offered nowhere else, and good throughout the current season and next, this service is FREE! Otherwise there is a one-time fee of $55 — good for as long as your special runs unchanged. For coupons/flyers, please send a Word file or email detailing your special.

• Golf Tips: Does your golf course Pro have a tip to share? Your tips can include photos as well as video and will be credited to your Pro / course with links to learn more about your facility. Posting your tips to MichianaGolf.com™ is FREE!

• Golf Jokes: Can't help them with a tip? Try winning them over with a smile! Golf jokes are an often overlooked method to receive positive PR credited to your course. Always nice to have a potential golf customer associate a smile and a good time with your course. Posting your jokes to MichianaGolf.com™ is FREE!

  Please try to keep your jokes somewhat clean, heaven forbid we cause our server to blush.

• Golf Course Stats & Features: Help those actively searching for more information regarding your golf course on MichianaGolf.com™. You may detail the number of holes, par, yards, slope, rating, and more. This too is a FREE service!

• Golf Course Photography: Capture the beauty of your golf course on film — stills or video! Framed, made into calendars, utilized on the web, etc., the possibilities are endless! We charge only $35/hr and will provide the finished product to you on CD/DVD, additional fees will apply if you want other output formats.

• Golf Website Hosting & Email: 1,000mb/1gb of website disk space and 10,000mb/10gb of bandwidth per month as well as SPAM protected email — filtered, and helpful, but not always 100% ... spammers are always looking for new methods of sneaking through. 50% of all hosting package fees is donated to local charities within NW Indiana and SW Michigan. We charge only $19.95/mo with a year's commitment and include a FREE month! Other packages with more space and filtering are available.

• Golf Website Design: Maximize your on-line efforts with photo galleries, scorecards, videos, newsletters, ordering systems and more to help keep your course in the hearts and minds of patrons year 'round. We are partial to the great folks from Lighthouse Colorprint (269-428-7062) who can also teach your staff the fine art of web design for making updates — one of the keys to repeat visits. Their fee is only $55/hr for website design.

• Golf Print Material: From stationery to scorecards, calendars to post cards, business cards and brochures, ad slicks to billboards, etc., etc. are also available. Pricing will vary depending on product type and quantity ordered.

These are only a few of the effective, yet relatively inexpensive, or FREE, marketing options available to promote your golf course. If you have any questions or would like to schedule an appointment, please contact us.

We look forward to talking with you!
