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.

Keystone Golf & Country Club, formerly known as Lakeside Links Golf Club, is a classic and challenging course located in the heart of Keystone Heights, Florida. Originally designed by the legendary architect Donald J. Ross in 1928, this par-36 course underwent a redesign in 1959 to maintain its relevance and provide a great test of skill for golfers of all levels.
Measuring 3,214 yards with a slope rating of 118, Keystone Golf & Country Club offers a unique layout featuring narrow fairways lined with tall trees and small, fast, and undulating greens. While there are no water hazards on the course, elevated greens on every hole of the back nine add an interesting challenge. Strategically placed bunkers further enhance the difficulty level, making this course an enjoyable experience for both beginners and advanced golfers alike.
Keystone Golf & Country Club has received mixed reviews from golfers, with some praising its layout and management efforts while others expressing disappointment with certain aspects of the course.
Positive reviews highlight the course's "amazing layout" and the improvements made under new management, particularly in terms of greens and amenities. Players appreciate the affordable rates for a Donald Ross-designed course and find value in its historical significance.
However, negative reviews criticize the course for its lack of fairways and distance markings, as well as the poor conditions of the greens and amenities. Some players also mention issues with rude behavior on the course, particularly from large groups of older men driving privately owned carts without observing proper etiquette or courtesy.
Golfer Collectives acknowledges that Keystone Golf & Country Club offers a mixed bag of experiences for golfers. While the course's historical significance and affordable rates are seen as positive factors, the inconsistent conditions and limited amenities have drawn criticism.
The course's layout is generally praised, with players appreciating the challenge presented by the narrow fairways, small greens, and strategically placed bunkers. However, the lack of fairways and distance markings, as well as the poor conditions of certain areas, have been points of contention among reviewers.
Overall, Golfer Collectives suggests that Keystone Golf & Country Club may be a suitable option for golfers seeking an affordable round on a historic course, but they should be prepared for potential inconsistencies in conditions and amenities.
