Golf O'Clock books the bay and the coach together, and sells lesson packs that redeem themselves. Lessons are high-value bookings that bring players back every week, so they're worth setting up properly.

## Coaches with their own schedule

Add your coaches with their own working hours and time off. Lessons are only offered when both a lesson bay and the coach are free. Coaches see their own schedule and lesson details on their own page.

## Customers choose their coach

Let customers pick their coach when they book, or let the system assign one.

## Lesson packages

Sell a pack of lessons, such as five 50-minute lessons, from your [online store](https://golfoclock.com/help/online-store-for-golf-venues), and the time lands on the customer's account. It only works on lesson bookings, and is used up as they book.

## Why venues use it

Lessons bring players back week after week, and players who improve play more. Booking the coach and the bay together stops double-bookings, and lesson packs bring the money in up front while giving students a reason to keep coming. Staff can set up a [recurring weekly booking](https://golfoclock.com/help/recurring-weekly-bookings) to hold a regular student's slot for the season.

The demand is there. Across 200+ venues on Golf O'Clock, the average party on a customer's third booking is under 1.8 people: by then they're coming to practice, not for a night out.

## Common questions

**Do coaches need a staff account?**
No. A coach just needs a customer account linked to their coach profile. Give them a [staff role](https://golfoclock.com/help/staff-roles-and-permissions) only if they also work the desk.

**Can lessons cost more than bay rental?**
Yes. Set a lesson rate in your pricing.

**Can I run group clinics?**
Yes. Create a clinic booking option with set start times and a group size.
