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 fairways, ranging from narrow to medium in width, meander strategically through the natural surroundings, incorporating water hazards and preserving the delicate ecosystem. Measuring 6,626 yards from the back tees and playing to a par of 72, Panama Country Club presents a challenge that caters to golfers of all skill levels. The small greens, reminiscent of their original construction, play fast and demand precision. Recent resurfacing efforts ensure consistently excellent playing conditions throughout the year. Whether you're a seasoned golfer seeking a stimulating challenge or prefer a leisurely walk amidst scenic views along the Intracoastal Waterway, Panama Country Club promises an unforgettable golfing experience.
Reviews for Panama Country Club in Lynn Haven, Florida, paint a mixed picture. Some golfers express disappointment, citing the impact of Hurricane Michael, which resulted in the loss of many trees, leaving the course with a flat and treeless layout. The pro shop staff's perceived lack of warmth and personality also draws criticism. Others, however, find solace in the course's well-maintained fairways, tee boxes, and greens, praising their fantastic condition despite the hurricane's devastation. Despite these positive aspects, some golfers still question the value for money, considering the course to be overpriced for the overall experience.
Golfer Collectives acknowledges the mixed reviews surrounding Panama Country Club. While the course has undoubtedly suffered from the effects of Hurricane Michael, some golfers still find it an inviting and enjoyable challenge. The consistently excellent condition of the fairways, tee boxes, and greens, despite the hurricane damage, is a testament to the club's commitment to maintaining high standards.
However, Golfer Collectives also recognizes the concerns raised by some golfers regarding the perceived lack of value for money. The course's layout, while challenging, may not offer the unique or memorable experience that some golfers seek. Additionally, the pro shop staff's demeanor and the overall personality of the club may not live up to the expectations of certain players.
Ultimately, the value proposition of Panama Country Club is subjective and depends on individual preferences and expectations. Golfers who prioritize well-maintained conditions and friendly, accommodating staff may find the club worth considering. However, those seeking a more distinctive and memorable golfing experience may find that Panama Country Club falls short of their expectations.
