Since rolling out Noteefy 🔔 Confirm, we have been processing thousands of tee time cancellations as a result of the automated text reminders. Here are the early insights after reviewing the data 👇 ⛳  Tee time cancellations spike late in the week, with Thursdays and Fridays far outweighing every other day in the week on volume of cancellations.  Why does this matter? The closer the cancellation occurs before a tee time, the less likely it is to be filled. As every course operator knows, tee times are perishable. A golfer who cancels a Thursday or Friday tee time leaves operators scrambling to fill that slot right before the busy weekend. The cost of a last-minute cancellation going unfilled is not just the green fee, it is also all the ancillary spend. According to the latest National Golf Foundation data, roughly 50% of a tee time’s value is in spend beyond the green fee (think: F&B, merchandise, cart fees, etc.). This means that a canceled tee time doesn’t just cost you a green fee; it’s potentially half the total revenue that would have been spent. What can course operators do about the frequency of last-minute cancellations? A combination of policy and technology. Having the right cancellation policy, and educating golfers about the detrimental impacts of cancelling inside that window can have a positive impact. Policy Enhancements That Have Proven to Be Effective 1. Credit Card Collection on Booking: Helps reduce no-shows and secures payment for late cancellations. 2. Strict 24-Hour Cancellation Policy: A modest cancellation fee (e.g., $20 per person) can reinforce commitment. 3. Call Required to Cancel Inside 24 Hours: A human conversation discourages casual last-minute cancellations. Technology Solutions That Mitigate Last Minute Cancellations Going Unfilled Modern technology can also help with mitigating the impact of last minute cancellations. Specifically: 1. Automated Reminders & Confirmation Texting: Tech like Confirm gives golfers a gentle nudge—keeping them aware of their reservation and reducing no-shows. 2. Digital Booking Assistant: Waitlist / Booking Assistant Technology Streamlines the rebooking process for your staff and your golfers. 3. Open-Integration Tee Sheets: Working with a tee sheet that has open APIs ensures your system can quickly adapt and connect with third-party tools for maximum efficiency.

There are millions of golfers that live within a drive of America's top golf resorts. As a result - a major new revenue channel for these properties is the surge of DAY GOLF ONLY players 👇 🏌♀️ Day golfers are spending disposable funds on "mini golf trips," ie visiting top US golf properties for just 18 or 36 holes for the day, then going back home. A perfect example of this is Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, with two championship courses and millions of active golfers in the DFW area. We are seeing a high number of locals come to the property, play the course (maybe even a steak dinner), then leave. Another would be PGA WEST®, The Club at PGA WEST, and The Citrus Club - which has world class golf and lodging but attracts many day golfers from Southern California. Operators - marketing to these golfers can help augment resort stay and play by plugging holes in the tee sheet at peak rate. The ancillary spend while on property (particularly retail) could be up to 50% more than the green fee. At Noteefy 🔔 we are working with dozens of resort courses that leverage technology to help reduce the friction of matching local golf supply and demand. Golfers - where is a resort course you have played recently for the day?
