Remember, our primary goal is to protect your brand so we encourage you to use restrictions in order to limit your offer to where you need results. That might be 24 hour advanced booking and limited to Mondays after 12pm or no limit booking 7 days a week. It's wherever you want results.
Tighter restrictions can limit traffic but it protects your brand and yields.
This is a very common question and concern for both courses and golfers. How many times can an offer be redeemed?
Because of the nature of our platform, our default is unlimited because we want to continually drive results into the time frames you need whether or not it's accomplished by the same golfer over and over. This creates a long term affect where value golfers are pushed into slots you need filled - ie, turning them into an effective yield management crowd.
However, you're welcome to limit the number of uses. Just add it as a restriction.
Once we have our restrictions set, it's time to figure out an offer to drive traffic into our desired time frames. First, consider the opportunity cost. If your tee time expires at $0, what would you wish you had sold it for?
Next consider the restrictions. If you have broad restrictions like 7 day advanced booking and good anytime then we suggest smaller savings. If you're using 24 hour advanced booking on weekdays only, we suggest a larger discount to motivate action.
We will say that the most successful offers are tighter restrictions + bigger savings.
Of course, there are plenty of other factors to consider like audience size, demographics, or even the season. Luckily, your offer isn't set in stone and you can change it anytime throughout the year.
Carts are another opportunity for win-win.
Including them can boost the effectiveness of your offer and keep your pace of play where you want it.
90% of our partner courses include them.
This is the savings off your retail rates for greens fees and cart fees, if applicable.

Bridgewater Links Golf Course, situated in the picturesque city of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, offers an exceptional golfing experience for players of all skill levels. Established in 1984, this nine-hole, par-30 course spans 1,808 yards and boasts well-maintained fairways and greens that provide a challenging yet enjoyable round of golf. Multiple tee options, including Championship (1808 yards), Middle (1678 yards), and Forward (1471 yards), allow players to customize their game to suit their abilities. Although slope and rating information is not available, Bridgewater Links offers amenities such as golf carts and club rentals to enhance the golfing experience. Whether you're a seasoned golfer seeking a quick round or a beginner looking to hone your skills, Bridgewater Links Golf Course promises an unforgettable golfing adventure.
Bridgewater Links Golf Course has garnered a range of reviews from golfers, reflecting both positive and negative experiences. Some players have lauded the course for its enjoyable layout, praising it as a "fun course to play on for a quick 9 holes or double if for 18." The option to switch tees adds an extra layer of challenge, making it suitable for golfers of varying skill levels. However, the course conditions have drawn criticism, with players noting the limited hours of the Pro Shop and below-average maintenance. The Bermuda grass is described as shaggy, divot repair on the tees is lacking, and fairways and rough areas are maintained at higher levels with bare spots. Additionally, poorly-maintained sand traps and slow greens have been cited as areas for improvement.
While player reviews highlight both strengths and weaknesses of Bridgewater Links Golf Course, Golfer Collective offers its own perspective on the perceived value of the course. Despite the mixed feedback on course conditions, Golfer Collective acknowledges the enjoyable layout and the option to play 9 or 18 holes by switching tees. These features make it an attractive choice for golfers seeking a quick and engaging round. However, Golfer Collective echoes some of the concerns raised by players, emphasizing the need for improved course maintenance to elevate the overall golfing experience.
In conclusion, Bridgewater Links Golf Course offers a blend of positive and negative aspects. While its enjoyable layout and flexible tee options cater to golfers of all levels, the course could benefit from enhanced maintenance to address concerns about its condition. By addressing these issues, Bridgewater Links Golf Course has the potential to become a truly exceptional golfing destination.
