“For some reason this year, the website feature was not working for our sponsors. Whenever they would try to add their website, it would say that it was not a URL so I would then get a phone call and I'd have to tell them to just not add a website and I would then add it later.“

\[sensitive content hidden\] both have been extremely positive and helpful. I appreciate everything they have done for our event!

Nothing to note, this is an amazing resource.

### "ASHRAE Golf outing"

May 28, 2024

5.0

Pros

The user interface and ease of managing a golf outing is so much easier with GolfStatus. I have used this service for about 5 years now, and it makes running a golf outing a breeze.

Cons

I can't really find a con. I have tried running golf outings without GolfStatus, and there is no way I would go back to the old way.

### "The Todd Daniels Memorial Foundation LOVES GolfStatus!!!"

September 18, 2024

5.0

Perfection! Every team member I've ever worked with has been accommodating, friendly, and proactive. I can't say enough good things about our experience. We can't wait to team together again next year.

Pros

The staff is incredibly helpful, not only in creating your tournament site but also in educating our team on how to best use the software. We've used GolfStatus two years in a row at our charity golf fundraiser, and we couldn't be happier. Totaling scores and breaking flights at the end of the day is nothing more than clicking a button. Not to mention, the tools within the software for scorecards, golf cart signs, alpha lists, etc. make life easier for our organization and the golf course staff as well. GolfStatus is a true blessing to our organization!

Cons

My only recommendation would be to overhaul the registration pages that our team captains and sponsors see when purchasing their packages. It works. There's no complaint there, but it isn't graphically pleasing to the eye. For such amazing software, it lacks a modern look.

### "Grip N' Rip Maui Loves Golf Status"

September 23, 2024

5.0

Great customer service. Jon was assigned to me and was always available. He was always re-assuring me that we are in good shape and kept it upbeat and positive even when I was losing my mind. Response time before and after the tournament was great. Use of the emergency number helped.

Pros

I love having control over the teams and making changes right away. There are so much more that I see we can do but I didn't dive into it but will surely be more into the system next year. Loved being able to print the lists as soon as making changes. I'll probably utilize the sign options more.

Cons

I can't really say what I didn't like about it. We had a little hiccup, but it was more user error not being familiar with the system. Came up with a game plan for next year so we won't have that hiccup.

### "A return user! "

October 21, 2024

5.0

From start to finish it was easy to work with GolfStatus. I have worked with them for 3 years and will continue to work with them for future golf events. The program is user friendly and when you need help, they are just an email away.

Pros

The ease and convenience of the program to use. And, the amazingly fast response time of my contact (Jon S) to help with anything I needed.

Cons

I can't think of anything I would change.

### "Looking Forward to Our Next Event!"

November 21, 2024

5.0

Great experience, Looking forward to partnering with y'all again next year!

Pros

There are so many things I really love and appreciate about GolfStatus! - Anytime I had a question or needed anything \[sensitive content hidden\] was quick to answer and help me out. - The website is easy to navigate for both hosts and players/sponsors - I have gotten great value out of the webinars hosted by GolfStatus that I have attended. The format they use is unparalleled! - The added bonuses and connection to Dormie Stay and Play packages added great value to our event.

Cons

I can't think of anything. I look forward to using the program again because there were a lot of resources on the website that I did not get to use this year due to time.

### "First time managing a golf tournament, done and check! "

September 17, 2024

5.0

It was very good! I was thankful my new employer was already established with GolfStatus and had used them for the last two tournaments, so GolfStatus was also familiar with our organization. It made this "unfamiliar" world of golf for me easier to navigate!

Pros

This was my first time organizing a golf tournament. I am not a golfer and even though I have managed countless events, this one felt intimidating to me. Jon from GolfStatus reached out to introduce himself to me and offer a tutorial of the platform which was super helpful and was very timely in responses to any questions I had throughout the months leading up to our tournament. The site was very intuitive and user friendly. The day after the tournament he sent an email asking how it went and offered to schedule a post-event debrief call, which we did. I learned about a feature that we didn't use this year but look forward to incorporating it into next years tournament.

Cons

I don't have anything to compare this platform to, so I don't have anything that I didn't like about it! :)

### "Best Option for Nonprofit Golf Tournaments"

June 24, 2024

5.0

It's been a good relationship. The ability to run and manage your event smoothly and efficiently helps us focus on fundraising. GolfStatus is the best event management software we've used. Previously, we've looked at other golf tournament management software and did most of it by hand. It's helped us be able to improve our tournament much more quickly. We don't plan on leaving any time soon.

Pros

We've used GolfStatus for 4 years now. We're able to quickly register, adjust, and finalize our teams on the fly as matters arise. The app is great and our teams have gotten accustomed to using it.

Cons

We don't have any cons at this time. It's a great product.

### "Excellent Service From Start to Finish!"

May 10, 2024

5.0

\[sensitive content hidden\] was so great to work with. Extremely professional and responsive. As a client you felt as though you were his only client in the way that he took care of your needs. The platform is amazing and user friendly. We received many comments about how professional our website looked. I love the idea of the additional fundraising options through the website and we definitely took advantage of them. I speak so highly of this company and have recommend it to many.

Pros

I love that GolfStatus provides a low cost or no cost solution for nonprofits. The customer service was AMAZING! I loved that I didn't have to build out the website myself, I was able to provide my rep with the data and he made it beautiful. I really like having access to the data at my fingertips. This is my second tournament and last year the course maintain the registration, this year I was able to see every registration and sponsorship instamatically as they came in which was a big plus.

Cons

I had no cons. So glad that we switch to GolfStatus by the suggestion of BackSwing Golf Events. Best decision ever!

April 25, 2024

5.0

Excellent experience overall. We could not have pulled this event off without the help of Golfstatus. Shout out to \[sensitive content hidden\], my dedicated CSS. He was a pleasure to work with and immensely helpful.

Pros

Golfstatus made setting up an event website, collecting funds, and managing/tracking registrants as easy as possible.

Cons

I think the UI could use some improvement, how to find registrations / donations, etc

October 31, 2022

4.0

Pros

Really enjoyed the opportunity to sell sponsorship packages and and use your industry partnerships that ultimately benefitted the event financially, provided on course event and activities, and ultimately made the event a great experience for all levels of participation. I really enjoyed setting up the landing page and it did its job perfectly as a landing page.

Cons

I left detailed noted on the prior form that I think will be beneficial for the direction of golfstatus improvements and new features if considered!

### "GolfStatus Tournament Management Software and Service Review"

May 19, 2022

5.0

My overall experience with GolStatus was excellent. The software program made running the golf tournament and fundraiser efficiently. The customer support team/mechanism was top notch. Very responsive.

Pros

Easy to use and understand. Backend functions are thorough and easy to use as well. Customized forms make printing fast and easy. Having all of the tournament data available remotely is a big timesaver and very convenient. The customer support was phenomenal.

Cons

The inability to separate/identify each sponsorship package, and general donation.

Reason for choosing GolfStatus

What GolfStatus’ program offered for tournament and fundraising tracking and maintenance. Their nonprofit assistance was an important part of my decision to go with GolfStatus.

### "GolfStatus is a Blessing for Our Non-Profit!"

September 14, 2022

5.0

GolfStatus is a great addition to our tournament fundraising model. The software is easy for us to use and easy for golfers to use. It allows me, as coordinator of the event, to have ALL the information in one place - finances, golfers, handicaps, sponsors, logos, hole assignments, etc. Additionally...the level of customer service support is unmatched. I have a customer support associate assigned to me, and I can email him at any time. He always answers my questions quickly and thoroughly, even providing video of how a feature works when needed. I'm very pleased with this product and plan to use it as long as we are doing golf tournaments!

Pros

What I love most about GolfStatus is the customer support, along with the ability to easily register our golfers and showcase our sponsors.

Cons

There are just a few minor things I would like to see updated - displaying the Technology Sponsor a little differently and some options for doing a "custom" attendee report, but overall I love this software.

### "Golf Status for Non-Profits is Great! "

April 22, 2024

5.0

Pros

Golf Status took the burden off of our small team when it came to organizing a website, managing transactions, and sending out information to our golfers regarding our event. The registration website and processing gateway made it very streamlined and simple for our players. It was much easier to manage!

Cons

While we loved using Golf Status and it was great, there were some features we wished were more comprehensive. The ability to customize the website is very basic and the app was not as user-friendly as we had hoped. That being said, they were both still very helpful tools!

### "Amazing, easy to use software for Non-profits and charities planning a fundraising golf tournament. "

July 27, 2023

5.0

This tool was easy to use, provided so many integrated functions and looked very professional. I would recommend anyone planning a golf tournament to use GolfStatus. The program and the staff were amazing!

Pros

GolfStatus is an excellent program to assist novice golfers and novice event planners to create successful golf tournaments. I am not a golfer at all and I found this software very easy to use, functional and a one-stop management program for our 1st golf tournament.

Cons

There were a few features that were a bit tricky to navigate at first. (Registering golfers on their behalf, connecting sponsors with designated sponsorship level). I contacted our rep and he assisted us by giving details and tutorials for the task and all in a very timely manner. All of the issues that we may have had were rectified very quickly and other features that were tricky to navigate have all been fixed in the new version to be released in a month or so.

Reason for choosing GolfStatus

Being a charity, the fact that the program was free for all government registered charities made it very attractive. After using the program, I can say without a doubt that it was such an amazing program. Sometimes, you pay for what you get - this was certainly not the case with this program.
