The Biggest Missed Revenue Opportunity: Upsells and Packages

Many golf clubs focus only on green fees—but there’s a much easier way to increase revenue without raising prices: upsells and packages.

The best part? Players are already willing to pay more—they just need the right offer.

The Problem: Clubs Don’t Offer Enough Upsells

Most clubs only sell a tee time and miss out on extra revenue per golfer.

Here’s what’s being left on the table:

❌ No bundled packages (e.g., tee time + cart + range balls).
No upsells at checkout (e.g., food & beverage add-ons).
❌ No incentive for golfers to spend more while booking online.

The Solution: 3 Simple Upsells That Drive More Revenue

Here’s how to increase your revenue per golfer—without increasing your green fees:

1. Offer a Premium Golf Experience Package

  • Instead of selling only a tee time, bundle it with a cart, range balls, and a drink ticket.
  • Example: “Pay extra $20 to upgrade to the Championship Package and get Cart + Warm-Up Bucket + Free Drink.”
  • Many golfers will gladly pay extra for a premium experience.

2. Upsell at the Online Checkout

  • Before finalizing a booking, offer an add-on option.
  • Example: “Add 4 Range Tokens for $10” or “Upgrade to a VIP Cart for $15.”
  • Players already committed to playing are more likely to say yes to small add-ons.

3. Sell Multi-Round or Group Packages

  • Offer discounted packages for multiple rounds to encourage repeat play.
  • Example: “Play 3 Rounds This Month and Save 15%” or “Bring a Friend and Get $15 Off Each Round.”
  • Helps fill your tee sheet without needing to find new players. 

The Revenue Impact of Upselling

🔴 Example Scenario:

Your club does 35,000 guest rounds per year at $100 per round = $3.5M in green fee revenue.

✔️ If just 20% of players add a $30 upsell (F&B, pro shop, cart rental, etc.), that’s an extra $210,000 per year—with zero extra marketing costs.

✔️ If bundled packages increase average booking value by 10%, that’s $350,000+ in additional revenue.

📌 Simple tweaks in pricing, bundling, and upsells can add $500,000+ per year—without attracting a single new player.

Are You Maximizing Your Revenue Per Player?

Players want convenience and value—and bundling experiences or offering small add-ons makes it easy for them to spend more without hesitation.

With simple upsell strategies, your golf club can increase revenue instantly—without raising base prices.
