Why This Internationally Recognized Club Gave GroupValet a 10 Out of 10

What makes a club say "10 out of 10"?

It's not a slick app. It's not AI, automation, or even golf simulators.
It's the quiet stuff — the simple, seamless systems that take work off your plate and let members actually engage on their own.

Recently, a large, internationally recognized private club in South Florida was evaluating GroupValet. As part of their due diligence, they asked to speak with a peer club — someone who could give them a candid perspective on what it's like to actually use GV at a high-level organization.

We connected them with the team at the Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale, AZ, one of the most respected private clubs in the country, who had been using GroupValet for about a year across their golf program and other member-led groups and activities. We immediately heard back from John Lyberger, PGA Director of Golf, at Desert Mountain.

During their exchange, John shared with the Florida club:

"I can tell you as an operator, this has been a game changer for us and our members. I would give GroupValet a 10 out of 10."

That kind of feedback is what we live for — not because it flatters us, but because it reinforces what we've always believed:
Empowered members create more engaged communities — and a whole lot fewer headaches for staff.

What Does "Game-Changer" Actually Look Like?

Here are just a few of the ways GroupValet quietly transforms daily operations for clubs like Desert Mountain — and could do the same for yours:

✅ Self-Managed Groups: Members create, manage, and communicate within their own groups — from golf to games to book clubs — without staff involvement.

✅ Effortless Scheduling: One-click RSVPs, automated reminders, and built-in waitlists mean fewer no-shows and zero spreadsheet wrangling.

✅ Staff Oversight Without Needing to Micromanage: Club staff can see everything that's happening without having to organize it all. Members feel empowered. Staff feel relief.
