Take Control of Your Tee Sheet
Announcing automated reminders to reduce no-shows and increase revenue.
Running a successful golf course means maximizing every available minute of daylight. But every operator knows the sting of a prime Saturday morning slot going unused. No-shows aren’t just a minor operational headache; they are a multi-billion dollar problem facing the entire golf industry.
When a group fails to show up without canceling, it’s pure wasted opportunity. That slot can’t be resold, the potential revenue from green fees, cart rentals, and food & beverage is lost forever, and other golfers are denied the chance to play.
We are thrilled to announce a new feature designed to help you take control of your tee sheet: Automated Tee Time Reminders.
Why Reminders are a Game-Changer
The vast majority of no-shows aren’t malicious; they’re often the result of simple forgetfulness. A tee time booked two weeks ago can easily slip a golfer’s mind, or the exact details (was it 9:00 or 9:30 AM?) can get fuzzy.
Our automated reminders solve this by serving two key purposes:
- The Gentle Jog: For golfers who booked well in advance, a reminder 1–3 days before their reservation provides crucial clarity on the date and time, ensuring they don’t forget their commitment.
- The Cancellation Trigger: If a golfer’s plans have changed, receiving that reminder serves as a prompt to cancel their reservation immediately.
By encouraging these proactive cancellations, you gain valuable lead time to reopen the slot and find a new booking, transforming a potential total loss into a salvaged revenue opportunity.
The Power of Synergy: Reminders + Waitlists
While reminders significantly reduce the rate of no-shows, some cancellations are unavoidable. That’s where you truly take control of your revenue.
When you combine our new Automated Reminders with our Waitlist feature (read more about waitlists here), you create a bulletproof system for tee sheet maximization:
- The Trigger: A golfer receives an automated reminder 2 days before their tee time. They realize they have a conflict and cancel the tee time.
- The Automated Fill: Your tee sheet instantly reopens that slot.
- The Waitlist Capture: Our system immediately notifies golfers on your digital waitlist that the time is now available.
- The Result: The time is rebooked, often within minutes, with zero effort from your staff.
By automating both the cancellation prompt and the rebooking process, you ensure that your most in-demand times remain filled and your revenue stays protected.
