What should be the next step for Las Colinas Golf & Country Club?
The Las Colinas Golf & Country Club should focus on how could they deliver personalization and standardization. They should think about how can they be unique and empower their guests to drive intimacy and achieve favorable customer experience.
This is why it is not sufficient for instance, what their mobile application is providing (e.g. you can only book tee-time). I move even further, Las Colinas should start to use wearables to provide fluent and informative service.
We should not forget that customers are raising their expectations for customer service. The highest expectations are in the hospitality industry. They want quality time either with their family or with their partners.
