Power Tee has completed the first large-scale commercial deployment of its new Smart In-Bay Dispenser technology, installing the system across 36 bays at MMTH Clubhouse in Wichita, Kansas.
The installation represents an important expansion of Power Tee’s product portfolio beyond its established automated ball-teeing technology, with the new platform designed to help golf ranges and entertainment venues automate operations while creating additional opportunities for in-bay revenue generation.
MMTH Clubhouse, located on Wichita’s east side, is a new golf-focused entertainment concept from the team behind MMTH Fieldhouse. The venue combines premium golf bays with Pure Putt mini golf, dining and social entertainment, targeting customers ranging from casual golfers and families to corporate groups and events.
At the centre of the Power Tee installation is the Smart In-Bay Dispenser. Each unit can hold approximately 2,000 golf balls, reducing the need for frequent manual replenishment and helping operators maintain a consistent, ready-to-play experience throughout the day.
The system incorporates AI-powered monitoring and diagnostics designed to identify potential service requirements, alongside remote diagnostics and system management that enables support teams to respond more quickly to issues and minimise downtime.
Fault-tolerant architecture is intended to improve system reliability, while integrated point-of-sale functionality allows customers to purchase golf balls directly from their bay. An interactive touchscreen also creates opportunities for advertising, promotions, sponsorship, customer engagement and other potential revenue streams.
Power Tee says the combination of technologies is designed to give facility operators greater control over high-volume range operations while reducing waiting times and allowing customers to spend more time playing.
“We’re extremely proud of what our team accomplished at MMTH Clubhouse,” said Martin Wyeth, founder and CEO of Power Tee. “This project represents an important step forward for Power Tee. We’re not only deploying our patented auto-tee technology at scale, but introducing an entirely new platform that can transform how golf entertainment venues manage their bays, support their customers, and generate revenue.”
The installation comes as golf ranges increasingly evolve beyond traditional practice facilities into technology-led entertainment destinations, placing greater emphasis on operational efficiency, customer convenience and opportunities to generate revenue from individual bays.
“This is exactly the type of partnership we envisioned when developing the Smart In-Bay Dispenser,” added Wyeth. “Mammoth gives us the opportunity to prove the technology in a demanding commercial environment and showcase how it can scale across different types of golf and entertainment properties.”
