We often get asked whether indoor golf simulator businesses should partner with Golf Now. On the surface, it might seem like a quick way to fill your bays, but here’s why this partnership could be doing more harm than good:
1. They Keep 100% of the Profits on Discounted Rounds
Golf Now often sells your tee times at a discount, but instead of sharing the revenue, they keep 100% of the profit. That’s right – you’re giving away your valuable hours for free, with nothing coming back to your business.
2. Overbooking Nightmares
When you hand over your tee sheet to a third party, you’re putting your reputation in their hands. Overbooking can lead to frustrating customer experiences, angry golfers, and negative reviews – all because someone else is managing your reservations.
3. They Steal Your Customers
Golf Now doesn’t just take your bookings – they also take your customers’ data. That means they’re free to market other deals, including promotions from your competitors, directly to your own customer base. You’re essentially paying to have your customers poached.
4. Outdated, Frustrating Software
If you’ve used Golf Now’s reservation software, you know it feels like a relic from the early 2000s. Clunky, slow, and frustrating for customers, their tech simply doesn’t keep up with the modern, fast-paced experience your golfers expect.

“Play 18 Holes in Just an Hour – More Golf, Less Hassle!
Escape the heat this summer and play on your schedule. Get back to your family faster, stay sharp all year, and keep your weekends stress-free. Don’t miss out – book your bay today!”**
With the right ads, you can:
