Golf simulator memberships with included bay hours
The most popular membership at indoor golf venues is simple: a monthly fee, a set number of bay hours each month, and a member rate after that. Golf O'Clock sells it online or at the desk and runs the renewals, turning casual players into regulars with predictable monthly revenue.
In short: Sell golf simulator memberships with included bay hours on Golf O'Clock: a monthly fee, hours that top up, a member rate after that, and renewals on autopilot.
How it works for your members
- They buy the membership online or at your front desk and pay with a card.
- Their included hours land on their account right away and top up every month.
- When they book, they apply their hours at checkout. Once the hours run out, they keep booking at the member rate.
- They see their balance, next renewal date and payment card in their account, and can update their card themselves.
How it works for you
- Renewals run on their own. Cards are charged automatically each period. If a payment fails, the member is emailed and the charge is retried, so you don't have to chase failed membership payments.
- You decide on rollover. Let unused hours carry over, cap how many can build up, or have them reset each month.
- Members are recognized everywhere. The membership tags the customer, so member rates, early booking access and member-only offers apply automatically.
- Limited memberships sell out cleanly. Offering 50 founding memberships? Set the number and the option shows as sold out once they're gone.
Setting it up
- Create an hours balance for included bay time.
- Create the membership: name, monthly price, and what it includes (the member tag and the hours each month).
- Add a member rate to your pricing for bookings beyond the included hours.
- Share the membership link on your website, or sell it at the desk from the customer's profile.
A useful guide when sizing the hours: across 200+ venues on Golf O'Clock, the average booking lasts 1.95 hours in peak season and 1.75 hours in low season.
