Benefits of being an affiliate course

• Control Content

  Affiliate courses have complete control over all the information presented about their course on the site. The only thing they can't edit is the user reviews. But affiliate courses will most likely address negative user comments in an attempt to keep up their public image. This differs from non-affiliate courses in that any user of the system can update the course info for those courses causing mis-information to be diseminated.

• Special Markings in Course listings

  All affiliate courses are marked with a special icon in the course lists which make them stand out when users are searching for courses to play.

• Upload images of each hole

  Affiliate courses can use a simple interface to upload images of each hole to augment their presence on the site.

• Enter Pro Tips on each hole

  There is a simple interface to enter hole by hole advice, which potential customers can print out and take with them to the course. If pictures have been uploaded these can be included as thumbnails along with the tips from the pro.

• Advertising Coupons

  By creating coupons affiliate courses will increase traffic at their course and they'll know where they users heard about their site.

• Access to opt-in mailing list

  In the future we will provide users the ability to opt in to mailing lists which will be available to affiliate coureses to send out announcemnets or specials. Watch the news section on the home page for details as this program is announced.

How it works

• After signing up to be an affiliate course any number of user accounts can be designated as maintainers of the course information for your course. These users will have a link on their home page that says course administration. This link will take them to the course adminstration screen which will allow them to edit the information for their courses. All the courses a person has adminstrative privileges for will be summarized on the screen with links to view and edit any coupons and monitor activity for their courses on the site.
