Golf Clubs Are Falling Behind—And Talent Is the Biggest Reason Why

How Golf Bookings Work in 2025

Think about how golfers book tee times today:

  • They’re using their phones. More than 70% of golfers book online, and if your website isn’t mobile-friendly, you’re losing business.
  • They expect instant confirmation. If the booking process is slow, clunky, or requires too many steps, they leave.
  • They’re using third-party platforms. These platforms might help fill your tee sheet, but they also take a huge cut of your revenue—money that should be yours.

This is how the modern golfer expects to book tee times.

Now, ask yourself: Is your club keeping up?

The harsh reality is that many golf clubs are operating like it’s still 2005, not 2025. They lack the technology, the data, the marketing, and most importantly—the right people to make it work.

And that’s why so many clubs are struggling.

The Problem: Golf Clubs Are 20 Years Behind in Business Operations

The business world has evolved dramatically.

Hotels use dynamic pricing—charging more during peak demand and offering last-minute deals to fill empty rooms.
Restaurants optimize their online reservations—making it seamless for customers to book tables.
Retail businesses use digital marketing and data analytics—maximizing conversions and driving more direct sales.

Yet, many golf clubs still rely on outdated processes to manage tee sheets, pricing, and marketing.

📌 How many golf club websites still look like they were built in 2008?
📌 How many clubs are still manually setting prices instead of using demand-based pricing models?
📌 How many clubs don’t even track conversion rates from their website?

It’s no wonder so many daily fee golf clubs are struggling to fill their tee sheets and maximize revenue.

And here’s the kicker—even if clubs wanted to fix this, they can’t.

Because they don’t have the right people.

The Talent Problem: Why Golf Clubs Can’t Hire the Experts They Need

Let’s be honest—hiring great talent for a golf club is nearly impossible.

Here’s why:

❌ You’re limited by geography. If your club is in Arizona, your hiring pool is whoever lives within a 50-mile radius. That’s not enough.

❌ The best marketing, AI, and data specialists don’t want to work at a golf club. Why would they? A golf club isn’t seen as an exciting, high-growth company on a résumé.

❌ You’re competing with every other business looking for top talent. And if even tech companies struggle to hire AI, marketing, and data experts, what chance does a golf club have?

Even if you somehow find someone great—can you afford them?

Hiring in-house for these roles isn’t just hard—it’s nearly impossible.

And that’s why so many golf clubs continue to struggle.

The Cost of Not Having the Right Talent

If you don’t have marketing experts, pricing strategists, and data analysts, here’s what happens:

🚨 Your tee sheet is half empty – You’re selling 50-60% of available tee times instead of optimizing for 80%+ utilization.
🚨 You’re giving away revenue to third-party platforms – Instead of driving direct bookings, you’re losing money to booking platforms that charge high commissions.
🚨 Your pricing is outdated – You’re charging the same on a Saturday morning as a slow Tuesday afternoon, leaving thousands in potential revenue on the table.
🚨 Your website is killing conversions – If your site isn’t fast, mobile-friendly, and easy to use, golfers will book elsewhere.

This isn’t just bad luck, It’s a lack of expertise.

And until clubs solve the talent problem, they will continue to struggle.

Golf Clubs Need to Wake Up – This Is a Business

The biggest challenge isn’t just hiring talent—it’s realizing that you need it.

Most golf clubs still run operations like it’s 2005, not 2025. They don’t have:

❌ A real digital marketing strategy.
❌ A performance-based pricing model.
❌ A website designed for conversions.
❌ A data-driven approach to sales.

That’s why so many daily fee clubs are still struggling—even in a booming golf market.
