For Operators

Your whole course, on one screen.

See live hole-by-hole pace, carts, rangers, NOAA weather radar, grounds reports, and 1–5 star ratings from the counter — with exclusive one-tap control of Suspend play, All clear, and course status notices.

Before

“Running the course blind from the shop.”

After

“The whole course, live, on one screen.”

Live operations

Every request, every ranger, every cart — right at the counter.

Every operator sees everything happening on the course in real time: hole-by-hole group pace (Behind, On pace, Ahead of pace) with configurable alert thresholds, ranger “Spoke to group” logs, beverage cart queues, lost-and-found matches, and open grounds or medical calls.

One unified view

Every operator sees everything

Anyone working the counter has the full live map and request board. Turning on Admin for a team member simply adds billing, staff invites, and course settings in both the iOS app and web console.

Post-round ratings

1–5 star course ratings over time

After 18, golfers tap a 1–5 star rating that auto-submits immediately and is stored as course data alongside real pace and response times.

Move a request between carts Requests by hour, peak at 12 PM

Command, broadcasts, aerial setup & Monday digest

Built for the pro shop counter — and Monday morning.

Broadcast course conditions in one tap, watch live NOAA radar, trigger the course-wide weather horn when storms hit, and get a clean weekly digest every Monday.

Course reports: median arrival 1m 36s, 90th percentile 2m 50s
01 · Operator-only Weather Horn & Live Radar

Live NOAA NEXRAD radar + Suspend play & All clear

Anyone on course can view live animated NOAA NEXRAD radar (Now → +60m forecast) and NWS advisories. Only Operators can trigger one-tap Suspend play or All clear alerts to every group, while tracking the rangers’ hole-by-hole sweep checklist.

02 · One-Tap Course Status Broadcasts

Cart path only, Frost delay, Hole closed / GUR, Last call

Broadcast course-wide or hole-specific status banners in one tap so every group on the course sees Cart path only, Frost delay, Hole closed / GUR, or Last call at the turn.

03 · Zero Hardware · Instant Map Setup

Satellite viewer & USDA aerial editor

Place hole corridors and flat centered badges for AEDs, EMS gates, and Weather Shelters right on high-resolution USDA aerial imagery — with no cart screens, no GPS boxes, and no POS integration.

04 · Turn-House Guardrails

Cutoff holes, cooldowns & 4-state cart mode

Set turn and end-of-round cutoff holes (e.g. Holes 7 and 16), request spacing cooldowns, and 4-state cart modes (On duty, Restocking, At the turn, Off duty) so the turn house isn’t ambushed.

05 · Found-First Lost & Found

Auto-matched with delivery or shop pickup

Staff and golfers log found or lost clubs, rangefinders, towels, or Other items with descriptions. Jovial matches reports automatically and lets golfers pick Ranger delivery or Pro Shop pickup.

06 · Weekly Monday Digest & Open-Month Billing

Every metric in your inbox, billed only in open months

Receive a Monday Operator Digest covering rounds, pace, cart service, lost & found, grounds reports, and 1–5 star ratings. $249/month, billed on the 1st of each open month. Closed for winter? We turn it off.

Capital & lease savings

Already paying for GPS carts? You may not need to.

Jovial runs on the phones golfers and staff already carry. If your course doesn’t have cart screens, there is nothing to buy upfront. And if you’re currently locked into a cart GPS lease, when renewal comes up you can drop that monthly hardware expense and keep the pace visibility, messaging, and course connection your team actually uses.

Courses without cart screens

Skip the hardware lease entirely

Get live pace visibility, ranger nudges, cart service heads-up, lost-and-found matching, NOAA radar, and safety alerts today — with nothing bolted to your fleet and nothing to buy upfront.

Courses with an expiring GPS lease

A calm off-ramp at renewal time

We never overclaim: if you love yardage screens on every dash, keep them. But if you’re paying thousands a month mostly to see where groups are and send pace messages, phones do that job for $249/month, billed on the 1st of each open month.

$0 upfront

Open-month billing

$249/month, billed on the 1st of each open month — instead of a multi-year cart hardware lease.

18 holes

One live operator screen

Every operator sees pace, carts, rangers, NOAA radar, and notices live. Turning on Admin adds billing, staff, and settings.

Monday

Weekly operator digest

Start every week with a concise summary of pace, cart response, lost & found, grounds flags, and 5-star pulse.
