How Smart Pricing Can Increase Your Green Fee Revenue by 20%
Pricing can make or break your golf club’s revenue. Charge too little, and you leave money on the table. Charge too much, and you scare away potential players. The secret? Smart pricing strategies that adjust based on demand, seasonality, and booking behavior.
The Problem: Outdated, Fixed Pricing
Many golf clubs still use static pricing, meaning the same green fee applies whether it’s a quiet Tuesday morning or a packed Saturday afternoon. But in nearly every industry—hotels, airlines, even Uber—pricing changes based on demand and availability.
Golf clubs that don’t adjust their pricing miss out on huge revenue potential.
The Solution: Smart Pricing Strategies That Work
Here are three easy pricing adjustments that can increase revenue without raising prices across the board:
✅ 1. Peak & Off-Peak Pricing
- Charge premium rates during high-demand hours (weekends, mornings).
- Offer slightly lower rates during slower hours to fill up empty tee times.
- Use historical booking data to identify the best price for different times.
✅ 2. Last-Minute Booking Discounts
- Offer small discounts for same-day tee times that haven’t been booked.
- A partially filled course generates more revenue than an empty one.
- Example: If an afternoon slot is usually empty, offering a 10% discount could bring in extra revenue instead of letting it go to waste.
✅ 3. Dynamic Pricing Based on Demand
- Let demand automatically influence your pricing.
- Example: If the next three Saturdays are fully booked, increase future Saturday rates.
- If a specific weekday always struggles, test lower pricing to increase demand.
The Revenue Impact of Smart Pricing
🔴 Example Scenario:
A golf club charges $100 per round and books 35,000 rounds per year.
With just a 10% increase in average pricing, that’s an extra $350,000 per year—without adding new players.
Clubs that implement demand-based pricing often see revenue increases of 10-20% within a few months.
Is Your Club’s Pricing Strategy Leaving Money on the Table?
If your rates haven’t changed in years, or you’re not adjusting pricing based on demand, you’re missing a major revenue opportunity. Smart pricing isn’t about charging more—it’s about charging smarter.
