How to Run a Members-Only Summer Indoor Golf League Featuring Local Courses

Summer’s heating up — and your simulators should be too. A members-only indoor golf league is a killer way to drive weekly traffic, build community, and create an exclusive, fun experience your golfers will love.



And with GSPro, you can build or feature local courses that give your league a familiar, competitive edge — all while keeping the action inside.



Here’s how to make it happen.



Step 1: Feature Local Courses in GSPro



GSPro’s Course Designer gives you the power to create or download hyper-realistic versions of your area’s best golf courses. Whether it’s the local 9-hole muni or a nearby championship layout, your players will love seeing familiar tracks on your simulators.



Highlight a different local course each week to:

• Showcase your tech

• Build excitement

• Create a connection with your community



If the course isn’t in the GSPro library yet — now’s the perfect time to build it!



Step 2: Set Up a Fun, Weekly League Format



Keep it simple and engaging:

8-week league

9 holes per week

New local course featured weekly

Play anytime during open league hours

Gross and net divisions

Weekly and season-long prizes



You can run this with a clipboard, but if you want to take it up a notch, use Sim Golf Tour (SGT) for score tracking, live leaderboards, and a polished experience.



Step 3: Make It Members Only



Here’s the key: Only members can play in this summer league.



That exclusivity adds value to your memberships and gives people a reason to commit — even in the summer months.



And when it comes to membership options, the Birrdi Players Pass is a no-brainer:

Under $25/month

$5 off all public hourly rates

No long-term commitment

Access to this exclusive summer league



It’s the perfect entry-level membership — tons of value, low cost, and designed for golfers who want to play regularly without breaking the bank.



Step 4: Offer Weekly Sim Time Gift Cards as Prizes



Keep it fun and rewarding with prizes that bring players back in:

$25 sim time gift card for weekly winners

$50–$100 gift cards for season champs

Bonus contests like longest drive or closest to the pin



This keeps your prizes in-house and your players engaged.



Step 5: Promote It as a Perk of Membership



Start the buzz early:

• Announce it as a members-only summer league

• Showcase GSPro clips of the local courses

• Highlight the value of the Players Pass

• Use social, email, signage, and your booking platform to drive awareness



Make it clear: if they want to join the league, all they need to do is become a member — and the Players Pass is the best way in.



Final Thoughts



A members-only summer indoor league is one of the easiest ways to:

• Fill your simulators consistently

• Reward your most loyal players

• Increase membership signups — especially for the Players Pass



Pairing GSPro local courses, SGT for scoring, and sim time gift cards for prizes makes this league a hit — and keeps players coming back all summer.
