Old Head Golf Links in Kinsale is a world-class golf course that has to be played to be believed. The breath-taking natural setting and exceptional service combine to make it a firm favourite with discerning golfers from across the globe. Facilities include a warm-up range, a putting green and a short game practice area as well as a beautiful clubhouse and luxury accommodation. Old Head has firmly established itself as a top tier destination in the golf world and with such an illustrious reputation, the course is always in high demand. With capacity at a premium, tee times for members, guests and tour groups are always booked and paid in advance. This presented the reservations teams with some key challenges in relation to taking payments.
Many golfers would call to check availability and to provide payment to secure their booking. The team at Old Head recognised that they needed to offer their patrons a safe, secure and seamless way to pay in real-time.
Prommt was chosen and implemented across the club in 2018. The system has not only provided a best-practice solution in terms of data protection and PCI compliance but has also delivered significant gains operationally.
Now members, guests and tour operators all regularly receive Prommt payment requests via email, SMS and ShareLink. The system gives the team at Old Head a quick, secure and compliant way to collect advance payments. It also provides international visitors with a seamless way to pay when it suits their own timezone. Given the longstanding relationships that Old Head has with many of its members, guests and tour operators, the club also makes extensive use of Prommt’s Autocharge feature.
This allows the team at Old Head to automatically apply charges as required while securely storing customer card details in a safe, tokenised format at the PCI Level 1 gateway level.
