What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

  1. 1
    Place the vane… anywhere

    Engage visitors throughout your web content.

  2. 2
    Visitors tap

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

  3. 3
    You get the data

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

Golf course poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own holes. Everything the clubhouse argues about is a vane your website should be hosting.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

The clubhouse, all week

Golfers argue in the clubhouse for an hour and then go home. A vane keeps the argument running on your site all week, and turns a tee time into a membership conversation.

Where should it go on a golf course website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the booking page, the course guide, the members area, the post round follow up, and a QR at the first tee.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do golf courses attract more rounds?

Give golfers something to argue about before they book. A score prediction and a hole difficulty ranking make the booking page part of the round, and every voter has a reason to come back for the result.

What should a golf course website have besides tee times?

The clubhouse conversation. Hole rankings, pace of play takes and menu votes give members a reason to visit the site midweek instead of only when booking.

Can members vote on course changes?

Yes, and it is the most goodwill you will ever buy for two seconds of member effort. Put the bunkering options to a vote and the eventual work arrives pre-endorsed.

Do golfers need an app?

No. One tap in a phone browser with no signup, which is why a QR at the first tee works while a group waits.
