HONORING OUR TOP-ACHIEVING PARTNERS

The 2026 Tagmarshal Awards highlight the outstanding achievements of our partner courses and their operational teams, celebrating their commitment to leveraging technology to optimize the player experience, drive continuous improvement, and achieve phenomenal on-course performance.

This year, we’re taking the Awards to new heights using advanced benchmarking criteria to identify our top performers among our 1,000+ partners.

By combining a course’s physical specs, like yardage, rating, and slope, with operational factors like mobility mode and tracked group volume and the deployment of advanced strategies, our benchmarking engine establishes a facility’s true operational profile.

Tagmarshal Awards are presented at three tiers – Diamond, Platinum, and Gold. Six Special Awards are also presented, recognizing the best performers in these key categories:

• Top Innovator: Advance Golf Partners
• Top International Performer: Mijas Golf Club (Spain), St. Charles Country Club (Canada), The Old Course at St Andrews Links (Scotland)
• Biggest Movers: Angel Fire Resort, Country Club of North Carolina, Heron Creek Golf & Country Club

• Best Multi-Course Operator: KemperSports
• Best Newcomer, US: Deerfield Golf Club, The Eagles Golf Club
• Best Newcomer, International: Elbow Springs Golf Club (Canada)

“Watching our partner courses achieve such fantastic results from their hard work is the best reward we could ask for. Taking benchmarking insights to the next level, we’re excited to launch AI Optimizer, trained on 100 billion+ tracked data points,” says Bodo Sieber, Tagmarshal’s CEO. “We look forward to measurable outcomes for our partners across their player experience, tee sheet optimization, and revenue goals!”

BENCHMARK YOUR COURSE’S PERFORMANCE

74% of players rate pace of play as a key experience factor and use it to decide where they play. Knowing how you compare to other facilities in your region is crucial to driving repeat play.

For the first time, you can now use our Benchmarking Tool to see how your course’s pace measures against similar facilities, filtered by state, date range, and course type.

Illustrating that your facility compares favorably against nearby courses, in a key player experience factor like pace and flow of play, indicates that successful on-course strategies are in place.
