Is Square a reliable way to book tee times online?

[challedongolf]

Due to Covid-19, our golf course is trying to figure out a way to offer prepaid tee times to reduce face to face interaction. If we already have a tee time management system, is Square a reliable way to book tee times online? Would the process be any different than ordering food?

Hi @challedongolf,

Square definitely has a reliable platform, so my answer would be yes you could do a tee-time system. The system would take a little tweaking as there is no prebuilt 'tee-time' build-out, but if you think about a tee-time as an appointment, you could use the system to have people book and pay online. If you wanted to get a bit more technical, you could use the Square API to have a custom interface. I think the only challenging bit is to display how many open slots in a 4-some are available, but this is definitely solvable.

The online ordering for your clubhouse/restaurant can be on the same account and you can even leverage the pickup feature for people playing.

I would recommend putting the 'appointments' (tee-times) and food on different pages of your website, which you can build through Weebly/Square Online Store.

Have you found a solution? I am interested in seeing if you were able to find a solution that doesn't cost thousands of dollars. We own a disc golf course (a TON less profitable than a legit golf course) and I have this same question.
