Golf and Travel Web Publishing

Essential Communications operates more than 60 web sites promoting golf and tourism in Arizona as well as other popular golf destinations around the United States. These web sites provide easy to navigate, direct links to golf course and golf related web sites. Because the linked sites are maintained by the golf courses themselves, it is the most accurate collection of information available. Many of the sites also provide useful contact information for courses around the country and allow golfers to easily contact their favorite golf course.

The popularity of these web sites has been increasing rapidly (nearly 500,000 page views per year now and still growing) among golfers and has created advertising opportunities for golf courses or related businesses that wish to reach these players. A list of many of these sites can be found here. Resort and hotel information is also being rapidly added and soon a new site dedicated completely to travel and great hotels will be available.
