Overview of Problems
Before Goldfish Technologies stepped in, Qutab Golf Course faced a mix of operational bottlenecks and outdated infrastructure. Tee-time bookings were handled manually, member communication was inconsistent, tournament hosting lacked structure, and the absence of real-time data made management reactive rather than proactive. Additionally, there was little to no digital marketing presence, meaning Qutab struggled to reach and retain the modern golfer—especially younger, tech-savvy players seeking seamless digital interactions.
