From Tee Box to Skybox: How Golf Courses Can Transform Security for Tournament Season with GenX Security + Brivo

Access Control Solutions for Golf Tournaments from GenX Security

Starting Thursday June 5th and through the weekend, GenX Security Solutions is proud to be co-sponsoring Skybox #18 at the BMW Charity Pro-Am at Thornblade Club in Greer, SC—alongside our cloud access control partner, Brivo. As the pros tee off and the grandstands fill, we’re not just watching birdies—we’re thinking about security systems that can shift gears just as fast as a golf course does on tournament week.

Visit with GenX Security and Brivo at the Tournament!

Golf facilities have to pivot from everyday operations—welcoming members, securing golf carts, managing pro shop inventory—to full-on event security with media crews, vendors, VIPs, and thousands of spectators on site. That’s a big leap in access, visibility, and risk.

So how do you seamlessly switch from tee box to skybox? The answer is integration. In this post we'll see how GenX Security and Brivo can get you there.

Everyday Security vs. Tournament Demands: Two Different Games

On a normal day, your golf course has a predictable rhythm:

• Clubhouse opens on time for members and staff

• Cart barn, pro shop, and maintenance areas are accessed by key personnel

• A few guests trickle in, a few deliveries are made

• At sunset, doors are locked, alarms are set, and the course sleeps

But during a tournament? Your course becomes a temporary event venue.

On tournament day, now you’re managing:

• Dozens (or hundreds) of temporary staff, volunteers, vendors, and sponsors

• VIP access to hospitality areas like Skyboxes or sponsor lounges

• Overflow parking, portable ticketing gates, and outdoor retail tents

• Media, emergency responders, and security teams moving between zones

• A need for real-time visibility and instant control over who goes where

Without the right systems in place, this shift can be chaotic. But with cloud-based access control, AI-integrated surveillance, and mobile-friendly security solutions, it can be as smooth as a perfect putt.

The Power of Brivo Access Control for Golf Courses

Brivo’s cloud-based access control system is a game-changer for golf facilities—especially when paired with GenX Security’s tailored integration and support.

Golf Course Access Control on a Typical Day:

• Set door schedules for buildings like the pro shop, cart barn, and offices

• Use mobile credentials so staff don’t need physical keys

• Grant or revoke access to employees instantly from your phone

• Track who enters restricted areas, with audit trails for accountability

Golf Course Access Control during Tournament Week:

• Issue temporary digital passes to vendors, volunteers, or media crews that only work during set hours and for specific doors

• Convert your VIP Skybox into a secure access zone, with mobile scan entry

• Use Brivo’s mobile app to unlock gates remotely for delivery trucks, EMS, or tournament officials

• Instantly lock down or restrict access if an emergency or security threat arises

No need to chase down lost keycards or reprogram door locks manually. With Brivo, your team can manage the entire facility’s access from a laptop or smartphone—even from the hospitality tent at Hole 18.

Add Eagle Eye Surveillance for Visual Intelligence

Brivo integrates seamlessly with Eagle Eye Networks, another trusted partner of GenX Security. This pairing allows you to see what’s happening at every door or gate in real time—and tie access events directly to video footage.

What This Looks Like in Action:

• A volunteer swipes in at the media tent: Eagle Eye shows the exact video clip of who entered

• A maintenance gate is propped open for longer than expected: get an alert and a live video feed

• A restricted area near the Skybox triggers motion after hours: video clips + mobile alert to security staff

With cloud storage, you don’t need to worry about DVRs or onsite servers. Review footage instantly from anywhere, whether you’re in the clubhouse office or the event command post.
