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.

The player reviews for Lake/North at Mountain Gate Country Club in Los Angeles, California present a spectrum of opinions. Some players describe their experience as a "one and done" affair, citing unexpected course conditions and cart path only play as deterrents. However, the course's location, offering stunning views of the Santa Monica mountains, and the friendly staff receive positive mentions.
One particular review, submitted by GreerGolf on 05/01/2017, highlights the course's scenic beauty and the affability of the staff. However, the reviewer also notes the inconvenience of cart path only play and instances where members from behind sought to play through while driving on fairways, disrupting the pace of play.
Golfer Collectives' assessment of Lake/North at Mountain Gate Country Club acknowledges both the positive and negative aspects of the golfing experience. While the course's location and breathtaking views are undeniable assets, the challenges posed by cart path only play and potential disruptions from other players raise concerns about the overall value proposition.
Players considering a round at Lake/North should carefully weigh these factors against their expectations and preferences. Those seeking a visually stunning course with a friendly atmosphere may find the experience worthwhile, while those prioritizing uninterrupted play and pristine course conditions may find it lacking.
