ProLink GPS added to carts on both championship golf courses

Carts at the Palmer Course, already equipt with the ProLink system, received all the latest system updates. ProLink Solutions is the world’s leading provider of Global Positioning Satellite (“GPS”) systems to golf courses.
These upscale, state-of-the-art ProLink GPS systems boast high-resolution, color monitors neatly affixed to each golf cart. They display pinpoint-accurate distances to the hole, as well as vibrant and easy-to-understand graphics of the fairways and greens’ hazards and contours. They provide better navigating of the courses and take the guesswork out of the game, while aiding golfers’ with shot selections and, in turn, improving the pace of play. Other features include ordering food and beverage at the touch of a button while on the course, as well as personal scoring and tournament leader boards.
”We are very excited about having the ProLink GPS system at both of our courses”, said Steve Shields, Director of Golf at The Westin La Cantera Resort. “The GPS feature will enhance the golfers experience on our courses.”
Designed by golf legend and award-winning course designer Arnold Palmer, the 6,926-yard, par-71 Palmer Course at La Cantera is set in the stunning terrain of the Texas Hill Country. Palmer and his design team artfully routed the layout through the property’s highest points and around stately limestone rock outcroppings.

The most famous being the sheer, 80-foot drop from the 7th tee to the fairway.
