Arcis Golf came to us with a significant challenge. They manage 75 club websites—ranging from private clubs to public courses—along with landing pages, onboarding microsites, member portals, and more, all built on an outdated tech stack. Not only did the sites vary widely in design (making it difficult to tell they are part of the Arcis portfolio), but they were also extremely difficult to maintain. Even small updates—such as changes to offerings, pricing, or personnel—required time-consuming manual edits across dozens of sites.
As a secondary initiative, we also set out to modernize their corporate website, creating a more compelling way to showcase their portfolio while making it easier to update as new clubs, partnerships, and sponsorships are added.
Given the scope of the project, we broke the work into several key focus areas:
Design System: Develop a refreshed design that highlights each club’s individuality while introducing a consistent visual framework that ties all properties back to Arcis. Show off that course, of course :), wow that’s bad, sorry.
Scalable Content Management: Leverage HubDB to centralize key content, enabling updates to be made in one place and reflected across all sites—while still allowing for necessary customization at the club level.
Member Portal Foundation: Create a flexible portal experience that supports personalization, allowing members to manage preferences (e.g., favorite beverages, apparel sizes, skill level for games), make reservations, view directories, and access billing history.
Speed to Execution: Deliver all of the above within an accelerated timeline.
We began by addressing immediate needs—launching optimized landing pages to support membership acquisition driven through their active social campaigns and marketing materials, providing a quick win in driving new member growth and expandable across all clubs. From there, we moved into building the corporate site and establishing a scalable framework for club websites. This system allows each location to feel customized through thematic colors, imagery, and offerings, while still operating within a cohesive, unified structure.
You may notice placeholder (Greek) copy throughout portions of the work. This approach allowed us to move quickly on structure and design while Arcis developed content and used their knowledge of the ideal course imagery in parallel. Together, we mapped phased rollouts for onboarding and more advanced portal functionality, particularly for post-purchase and first-impression experiences.
Overall, this has been an incredibly rewarding project in partnership with the Arcis team, with many more initiatives already on the horizon.
