North Carolina Golf Course Gem is the Only Public-Access Golf Course in the Highlands, Cashiers and Sapphire Region
ORLANDO, Fla. (July 20, 2020) – GOLFNOW today announced a new partnership with Sapphire National Golf Club in North Carolina, providing the club with GOLFNOW’s industry leading technology and services, as well as access to the world’s largest tee-time marketplace. The partnership builds on an agreement the club previously established with EZLinks Golf, now a GOLFNOW company.
Located in North Carolina’s Sapphire Valley and Cashiers Plateau Resort area, Sapphire National Golf Club will continue to benefit from the industry’s leading EZLinks-branded technology and now – as a new member of the GOLFNOW online marketplace – also will be introduced millions of golfers who regularly use GOLFNOW to search for and book tee times.
“We are very excited about being a part of the GOLFNOW platform and looking forward to having an online space where all our customers can book and pay for their golf,” said Austin Fisher, Head Golf Professional at Sapphire National Golf Club.
As part of its upgraded technology and keeping to state-mandated safety protocols, the club also will begin utilizing GOLFNOW’s touchless, pre-paid technology, which allows golfers to book and pay for tee times remotely and in advance. The club also will benefit from enhanced exposure through GOLFNOW’s Premium Marketing Program.
Sapphire National Golf Club is a Ron Garl design that offers optimal playing conditions among picturesque mountain views. As the only public-access golf course in the Highlands, Cashiers and Sapphire region, Sapphire National’s memorable features include a dramatic par 4 nestled beside a majestic waterfall and the postcard, par-3 15th hole, which is highlighted by an island green.
