Similarly, Onward Mangilao Golf Club (Guam, USA) uses Golfmanager to manage its operations.

Golfmanager’s integration with Oracle Hospitality played a crucial role
As a result of Golfmanager’s complete integration with Oracle Hospitality’s Opera Cloud, Plantation Resort on Crystal River chose Golfmanager as its technology partner.
Golfmanager is an official partner of Oracle and is one of the few golf club management software connected to Opera Cloud worldwide. This integration offers clubs a single multi-device tool to manage all operations related to the golf course and hotel, making it easier for clubs to allocate any client expenses at the club facilities (golf, activities, sports, etc.) to their hotel room. This partnership offers many other advantages as well.
Plantation Resort on Crystal River is currently undergoing a complete digital transformation of its operations in partnership with the Golfmanager team. This initiative involves automating various processes such as sending emails and payment confirmations to players, which will enable them to go directly to the tee without waiting in lines or paying at the Clubhouse. This will provide numerous benefits to the local player groups like Golf Societies.
This announcement comes after Golfmanager successfully exhibited at the 2024 PGA Show in Orlando (FL, USA) last week. The event marked Golfmanager’s first major effort to introduce its technology to key players in the golf industry.
“We are thrilled to share this exciting news. It marks a major achievement in the expansive American market, paving the way for our future progress”, said Daniel Sillari, co-founder and co-CEO.
