How to grow your payments app with golf courses and driving ranges
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Golf courses and driving ranges take many kinds of payment: green fees for a round, buckets of range balls, lessons with the club professional and yearly memberships. Groups and societies often book tee times together. A payments app that takes green fees by link and lets members pay by phone can win these clubs, and every golfer who pays sees your app.
Talk to courses and ranges
Ask local golf courses and driving ranges:
- How do golfers pay green fees today?
- How do societies and groups pay for tee times?
- How are lessons and memberships paid?
- What would make taking payment easier?
Take green fees by link
A payment link sent when a tee time is booked secures the slot and cuts no-shows.
Let members pay by phone
Memberships, lessons and bar tabs can all be paid from a phone, so the pro shop spends less time at the till.
Grow through societies
Golf societies book rounds at many courses. One course on your app puts it in front of every visiting society.
