The Dubai Hills Corporate Group is a community of golfers based at Dubai Hills Golf Club in the UAE. The group consists of 16 named members plus 16 guests, all male, aged 40-65. Many are corporate club members, while others belong to different clubs or are visiting golfers. Their number has grown steadily as more golfers look to grow their network and expand their playing opportunities.
As a corporate membership, the group received two “wild card” four-ball slots per day, requiring at least one corporate member in each game. This made it crucial to track player participation efficiently to maximise usage and avoid scheduling conflicts. Previously, they relied on an Excel spreadsheet, managed manually by two designated admins who handled tee-time bookings. While players could add their names when they wanted to play, the system had several major drawbacks:
👎 Access Issues – Members traveling or using different networks struggled to log in, and some faced firewall restrictions.
👎 Disjointed Communication – Without a centralised platform, coordinating tee times across locations became cumbersome and inefficient.
👎 Limited Visibility – Players had no clear and easily accessible view of available spots or who had already signed up.
👎 No Real-Time Updates – Members weren’t notified instantly when others joined or dropped out, leading to uncertainty.
👎 Last-Minute Changes & Missed Games – Late adjustments sometimes went unnoticed, causing confusion and unnecessary no-shows.
It was clear the group needed a more efficient, accessible and centralised solution, and that’s when they turned to Quick9.
Switching to Quick9 transformed how the Dubai Hills Corporate Group organises its games. The app provides a centralised, real-time platform, ensuring easy coordination—regardless of location or device.
How Dubai Hills Uses Quick9:
1. Tee Time Management – The admin sets up the allocated “wild-card” tee times in Quick9, and players sign up directly in the app.
2. Real-Time Game Coordination – Members instantly see open slots and can use the commenting feature to co-ordinate between themselves.
3. Streamlined Club Communication – Once tee times are filled, the signups are notified to the club, ensuring smooth operations.
Quick9 is now the group’s go-to tool for organising their games.
Since adopting Quick9, the Dubai Hills Corporate Group has experienced a significant improvement in organisation and participation:
✅ More Inclusive & Accessible – Members can join games anytime, from anywhere.
✅ Better Participation Tracking – Ensures fair and structured use of allocated tee times.
✅ Less Admin Work – The group admin spends less time managing spreadsheets and chasing players.
✅ More Focus on Golf – With logistics handled, members can simply enjoy the game.
As the group continues to grow, they plan to enhance guest player management with Quick9. The Quick9 team is actively working with them to develop this functionality, ensuring the app evolves to meet their needs.
With Quick9, the Dubai Hills Corporate Group has optimised game coordination—eliminating admin hassle, improving participation, and maximising the group’s time on the course.
