Dallas National Golf Club, One of America’s 100 Greatest Courses, Joins StrackaLine Family

StrackaLine Will Provide Professional Greens Guides to Leading Texas Club

(San Diego, Calif.) – Dallas National Golf Club, one of America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses, is the most recent addition to the StrackaLine family.

The StrackaLine team took its state-of-the-art laser scanner to Dallas National and scanned every green, allowing the company to map each putting surface with accuracy down to the millimeter.

Dallas National is 59th in Golf Digest’s list of America’s 100 Greatest Courses, a ranking of the nation’s best public and private layouts.

“We are obviously excited to welcome Dallas National to the StrackaLine team,” company president Jim Stracka said. “The course is one of America’s best and the club’s members are an ideal audience for StrackaLine greens guides.”

The highly regarded layout is a Tom Fazio design and the legendary architect said of the course, “If Dallas National were the only course I ever designed, I feel I would have had a great career.”
StrackaLine’s quality and accuracy have led to widespread adoption on the PGA, LPGA, Symetra and Web.com tours, in addition to their use by more than 300 Division I college teams.

StrackaLine scans courses for $1,500 and that includes 100 greens guides for resale. The scanning process takes five hours to complete and is unobtrusive to the golfer experience.

StrackaLine now has 700+ courses scanned, including some of the nation's most prominent layouts. Use of the greens guides at the highest levels of the game surged throughout 2017, and the company now counts nearly every Division I golf program, including last year’s national champions, among its users.

The greens maps, which feature easy to read arrows, allow players to view contour and fall lines, in addition to slope percentage, anywhere on the green.

Professional usage has helped drive interest in StrackaLine Greens Guides, and the technology is just as valuable to "regular" amateur golfers hoping to improve their score.

For golf course owners and operators, the technology can be used to improve pace of play and help ensure quality course conditions. StrackaLine offers hole location software that allows superintendents to utilize a proprietary algorithm to help set hole locations.

StrackaLine will continue to add to its library of golf courses throughout 2018. It takes just eight minutes to scan and capture an entire green and the StrackaLine team can complete an 18-hole course and practice green in five hours without disrupting play.
