Herradura, Costa Rica (PRWEB) June 29, 2011
La Iguana Golf Course at the Los Sue?os Marriott Ocean & Golf Resort in Herradura, Costa Rica, now offers its guests a state-of-the-art services thanks to its implementation of Club Car?s Visage System. The Visage System gives golfers an advantage with portable screens that offer flyover views, distance calculators and digital scorecards. With the addition of Club Car?s Visage system, La Iguana has enhanced the golf and rainforest experience with features that no other course in Central America yet offers. The new system will have golfers enjoying their Costa Rica Vacation even more.
Visage utilizes a combination of cellular, wireless and Global Positioning System technologies to create what Jos? Quesada, PGA Director of Golf at La Iguana, calls an ?enhanced guest experience.?
?Visage brings the latest technology to our facility and to our guests in a way that helps them enjoy their round of golf and experience the rainforest like never before,? Quesada said.
The Visage System puts a robust set of features at golfers? fingertips, including a 10.2-inch touch-screen monitor that automatically adjusts for changes in natural light. The system?s 3-D flyover feature with audio and vibrant graphics of each hole (similar to network television coverage of golf), tee-shot distance stats and scorecard and tournament management programs give golfers a better understanding of the course and helps them make more informed shot selections.
?Many of our guests at our Costa Rica resort are playing this course for the first time, so seeing how a hole plays from tee to green helps them manage their game and improves their scoring chances,? Quesada said.
Visage?s two-way cellular communications enable course staff and golfers to be in contact at any point during a round. This technology allows golfers to contact La Iguana clubhouse or mobile beverage vehicles at any time to place snack and beverage orders. Real-time positioning keeps the golf shop aware of each group?s exact location, making marshals more effective and improving pace of play.
This Costa Rica golf course also plans to take advantage of the on-course communications capability to send messages to golfers about the flora and fauna that lives only steps from the course. The course can also send weather alerts and promote real estate opportunities, special offers and lessons. La Iguana plays through the scenic Costa Rican rainforest that includes banana trees, wild orchids, toucans, macaws and more than 150 species of exotic birds. Monkeys are also known to scamper through the course. Quesada said the Visage system?s ability to limit golf car access to predetermined areas is a way to protect the environmentally sensitive rainforest.
