Our observations

What we like

The foreUP booking engine offers a variety of online payment options, catering to different preferences. Payments can be made mandatory, prohibited, or left as an optional choice for users. When payment is required, customers are prompted to select from various methods, such as credit cards, gift cards, rain-checks, or a mix, to prepay for their golf round. If the option is set to optional, users are given the choice to either pay online beforehand or at the course upon arrival. Automatic refunds and the release of tee times back to availability are processed for cancellations made within the permitted timeframe. If an attempt to cancel is made outside of this period, the cancellation option becomes unavailable to prevent late cancellations.

Ideas for growth

Adding promo code functionality would be a plus. Why? Promo codes are an integral component for several marketing campaigns proven to grow golf course revenue. Further, providing a white-label booking URL is suggested.

Great Booking Engines Lead to Better Data, Better Margins, and Less Phone Calls.

Ensuring your booking engine offers a seamless experience for golfers and simplicity for your staff is crucial. With a plethora of features to assess, we've highlighted nearly 20 key aspects here to guide your decision. Imagine booking a flight or hotel—speed, simplicity, and reliability are likely what you seek and your golf course business and golfers will be well served when you provide a tee time booking engine that does the same.

The Most Direct Bookings Possible.

Selecting a booking engine involves evaluating numerous features, nearly 20 of which are crucial. However, if narrowed down, SPEED and ACCURACY emerge as fundamental, encompassing most features. An unexpected yet vital third aspect is SHAREABILITY. Considering the popularity of social sharing and individual prepayments, as facilitated by MemberSports, its importance is set to rise within the next 12-24 months. Golf course operators should prioritize these features, focusing on what enhances their business and meets their needs.
