Golf courses earn most of their revenue in a few busy months and carry the bills all year. Off-season pre-sales change that: golfers lock in next season's rounds at a discount, and you get paid months before the first tee time.
Off-season sales
- 10-round packs for next season, sold online in the winter at an early-bird price
- Passes valid until the end of next season — set a fixed expiry date, like October 31
- Holiday specials on smaller round packs in November and December
- Early-bird specials with a sale start and end date, and limited-quantity deals to create urgency (Pro)
- Money goes straight to your Stripe account
A golfer who bought a 10-round pack in December has already decided where they're playing next season. They're not comparing tee-time deals in April — they're showing up to use what they paid for.
During the season
- Staff scan the golfer's QR code in the pro shop — one tap uses a round
- Range passes — for example, 10 large buckets
- Season memberships with member perks you describe
- Punch card for the driving range — every 10th bucket free
- Golfers see how many rounds they have left, and get a reminder when they're running low
Why LoyalTrak works for this
- No app for your customers — their card is a link and a QR code
- No hardware — scan with the phone or tablet you already have
- Record packs sold in the pro shop by hand
- No per-transaction fees from LoyalTrak — just a flat monthly price
- Seasonal course? LoyalPak ($59 one-time) gives you a 90-day selling window, with unlimited redemptions after — ideal for a winter pre-sale of round packs (memberships and punch cards need a monthly plan)
