Best range promotion: For our members, we did a program called Freebie Fridays. During our slower months (May through October – opposite of a golf course) every Friday is Freebie Friday, where are our members can bring in guests for free and play on our golf simulators for free – all day! This has created better flow during our slower season, but it also helps increase our cafe/bar sales and more importantly is a great retention builder for our membership.
Special programs: Annual Golf-A-Thon – we partner with a local non-profit and have an event call our Annual Golf-A-Thon with 100 percent of the proceeds going to that non-profit. For $25, guests get 90 minutes of golf simulator time and a goodie bag and it is a great charity event we put on.
