Full entry lists, clear course status
Competitions, tee times, course status, food at the clubhouse: SmartChat gets your club news to members and visitors on WhatsApp - with a 98% open rate and a proper double opt-in.
Sound familiar?
Entry lists fill up far too slowly
Right up to the closing date the list sits half empty, and then somebody has to start ringing round. Plenty of members would happily play if the entry sheet reached them in time.
Course status is stuck on the noticeboard
Frost, maintenance day, winter greens: anyone who does not hear before setting off drives all the way out for nothing. And it is the club office that takes the complaints.
New members are hard to come by
Taster sessions and beginner courses are the obvious route to new members, but word barely gets beyond the people who are already at the club anyway.
How you use SmartChat
Competition entries by chat
Send the entry sheet out, get a reply back, watch the list fill up. Entering becomes as easy as messaging a friend, and your club captain never has to chase anyone by phone again.
Fill your beginner courses and taster days
People sign up through your landing page and get the dates straight on their phone. Your membership list grows without anybody having to make a single cold call.
Course status in real time
Frost lifted, summer greens open, maintenance finished: your members know before they set off, not when they are already pulling into the car park.
Bring the clubhouse and club events to life
Wine evening, Sunday lunch, live music on the terrace: the invitation lands on the lock screen, and the clubhouse fills up midweek as well as at weekends.

FAQs
Our members already get email circulars - why WhatsApp?
Because circulars go unread and WhatsApp sits on the lock screen. A 98% open rate means your entry sheets and course updates actually get seen, instead of going stale in an inbox.
Does this reach green fee visitors as well?
Yes. Visitors sign up from the QR code in the club office or on the scorecard exactly as members do, and a one-off green fee turns into a guest who comes back.
How does this sit with data protection at the club?
Every signup runs through double opt-in and is documented, so the club stays GDPR-compliant without your committee ever touching a consent form. Members can unsubscribe themselves at any time.
What does it cost the club?
Plans start at 188 euros per month on the annual plan and contacts are unlimited, no matter how big your membership list is. Meta bills the WhatsApp fees directly, and SmartChat adds nothing on top.
Who has to look after this in the office?
Hardly anyone - there is very little to do. The AI turns your club website into a landing page, newsletters and follow-ups, then hands over finished drafts. The office reads them and taps approve, quicker than printing a notice for the board.
