What’s the biggest factor impacting how much revenue your golf course can generate? It’s probably not the price of your round - with variable pricing, you can set prices higher on your busier days. This can also be adjusted in real-time based on demand using dynamic pricing. Here’s an easy cash cow - shorten gap intervals and squeeze in an extra tee time. If you can add one fourball a day at $60 a person, that’s $240 a day or over $50,000 during a 7-month season. Except it’s not so easy. You can’t simply add a tee time during the day without understanding the potential impact: ↪ Course flow suffers ↪ Round times go up ↪ Unhappy golfers or members ↪ Fewer repeat players or decreased member loyalty While you might gain revenue from extra tee times in the short term, players may not return or members may not renew, impacting revenue down the line. Through the use of technology, it is possible to increase tee sheet capacity if you can: - Use data to identify where gap intervals can be tightened - Proactively monitor your daily pace and flow of play once - Gather data measuring the impact the additional tee time has on average round times Tagmarshal has helped courses like Erin Hills, Whistling Straits and Fieldstone add tee sheet capacity without negatively impacting the player experience.

Post pandemic figures showed a significant increase in golf ⛳ participation and, to date, it would appear that golf is in a good place. But… Have we been here before? The Golf industry has experienced a number of ‘BOOM’ 🚀 periods over the years. In my lifetime I’ve seen the surge of new golf course construction in the early 90’s, waiting lists for membership, the ‘Tiger Effect’ in the late 90’s & early 00’s and now the post pandemic success. Unfortunately, between these ‘BOOMS’ 🚀 however there have been a number of casualties as golf courses have closed. Golf ⛳has been a part of my life since starting to play the game at just 3 years of age, I’ve dedicated almost 30 years to the industry and held senior positions as a PGA Professional, Sales Manager & General Manager. I’ve produced articles & training material for some of the most influential and respected associations in the industry and have a valuable, extensive network. I speak frequently with other golf industry experts and often share initiatives from my experience to help other golf ⛳ course operators. If I can share one thing which will be of benefit to the future of the entire golf ⛳ industry, it would be this: DON’T BE COMPLACENT! Utilise this 'BOOM' 🚀 as an opportunity to help future proof your golf club. ·        Grow Your Marketable Database ·        Develop Retention Strategy ·        Introduce New Revenue Streams ·        Invest in Facilities ·        Train Your Team ·        Evaluate / Manage Your Costs What do you think the future of golf looks like and what steps are you taking to secure the financial stability of your golf club? #GolfBusiness #GolfSales #GolfMembership #Golf

⛳ Illuminating deep dive into golf course revenue data trends 💰 At Loop Golf, we recently launched a preview of our Golf Course Performance Benchmarking report. We are now benchmarking over 2,000 golf courses nationwide, and the initial findings are illuminating (and maybe not a surprise to some course operators): 1️⃣ Mornings Dominate: Roughly 80% of daily revenue is coming from morning tee times (between 6 - 11 am). 2️⃣ Occupancy Trends: Mid-day occupancy rates are about half of morning, and twilight is about 40% of mid-day. 3️⃣ Revenue Per Available Round: Morning rounds generate about 115% more revenue compared to mid-day and twilight. But here’s the game-changer: Our studies show that golfers have a much higher willingness to pay for preferred tee times—conservatively, about 20% more than what the average course is charging today. This insight can translate into an incremental $400,000 in annual revenue per course! What could an extra $400,000 mean for your golf course? Here are some thoughts: Hire Additional Staff: Fund salaries for 8-10 new full-time employees, enhancing customer service and course maintenance. Invest in Technology: Purchase around 44 new Trackman swing monitors, helping golfers improve their game and attracting more customers. Upgrade Equipment: Buy approximately 40 new golf carts, ensuring smooth and comfortable rides for golfers throughout the course. Would every course see this kind of impact? Maybe not. Some will see more, some less. The key takeaway is understanding your revenue levers and leveraging the right technology to accurately monetize your best assets. 🔧 Loop Golf is that technology. Not only is it free to use, but it also helps grow your core course revenue and adds new incremental revenue by sharing our profits back with you. Ready to unlock your course's full potential?
