GPS Takes Flight at EagleGreens Contact
Jessica Moats ATLANTA (March 31, 2003) - Quality, Affordability, and Hospitality are synonymous with EagleGreens' Ltd. seven owned and operated golf courses in the Northeast Georgia region. Five out of the seven EagleGreens courses will install ParView's GPS Golf Course Management System on their cart fleets this spring. EagleGreens is a company that believes in reinvesting profits not only to maintain quality, but also to elevate standards not found at most daily fee golf facilities. The dedicated and talented staff at their courses is eminent. The decision to add GPS is fitting and raises the bar of standards to new heights - improving the overall golfing experience for the patrons and increasing operational efficiency. An efficiently managed course translates to a higher quality golf course, a more enjoyable golf experience, and better business. That is the objective of EagleGreens and the philosophy behind ParView's GPS technology. EagleGreens is a family-owned golf company that prides itself in creating value to the golfer and believes that a great round of golf should be accessible to everyone. EagleGreens' courses offer some of the best rates available considering the high quality of facilities that make up the EagleGreens family.

"Our clients are our most valuable asset and we acknowledge that in everything we do," Phillip Ballard, Owner of EagleGreens. Providing their golfers with the amenity of GPS adds more value to the round played, helps to create a unique experience to make the day memorable, and creates conditions of play favorable to the golfer.
