Golf course operators looking for a data-driven edge on the business side will want to carve out time at this year's Golf Inc. Strategies Summit for a session on one of the industry's fastest-moving topics: big data.

Manna Justin, co-founder and CEO of CourseRev.ai, will present "Big Data: Driving Golf Course Profitability" on Wednesday, September 30, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., as part of the 2026 summit running September 29–October 1 at The Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa.

CourseRev.ai provides operators with a voice AI platform designed to automate tee time booking processes over the long term. The platform isn't just about answering the phone. It draws on hundreds of cloud computing instances, major AI models including Gemini and OpenAI, and both structured and unstructured data, giving course operators a much deeper view into booking patterns and revenue opportunities than traditional tee sheet software alone.

The results operators are seeing back that up: clubs and courses using the platform are reportedly saving an average of $40,000 to $120,000 in labor costs annually, alongside roughly 19% increases in after-hours bookings. For an industry still grappling with labor shortages and staffing constraints, that's exactly the kind of profitability lever the Golf Inc. audience is looking for.

If your course is still relying on gut instinct or an overworked front-desk team to manage tee sheet strategy, this session is a chance to hear directly from someone building the AI infrastructure reshaping how courses turn data into dollars.
