How Dynamic Pricing for Golf Tee Times Can Help Your Course

A new, data-driven approach to tee time pricing

Golf course operators are facing more challenges than ever when it comes to maximizing revenue and filling their tee sheets. While traditional pricing models rely on fixed rates or simplistic discounting, there’s a smarter way to optimize your bookings and boost profitability — dynamic pricing.

At Priswing, we specialize in helping golf operators unlock new revenue potential with intelligent, automated dynamic pricing built specifically for the golf industry. But what exactly is dynamic pricing for golf tee times, and why does it matter? Let’s dive in.

What Is Dynamic Pricing?

Dynamic pricing is a strategy where the price of a product or service changes based on demand, time, availability, and other market conditions. You've seen it in action in industries like airlines, ride-sharing, and hotels — and now, it's transforming golf.

For golf courses, dynamic pricing adjusts tee time rates throughout the day, week, or season based on factors such as:

Demand trends (e.g., weekends vs. weekdays)
Time to tee-off
Weather forecasts
Booking lead time
Course occupancy and utilization
Historical data

Instead of using a one-size-fits-all price or offering last-minute discounts, courses can now intelligently price tee times based on what golfers are willing to pay — increasing yield without alienating customers.

Why Does Dynamic Pricing Matter for Golf Operators?

Most tee sheets have two persistent problems:

Empty slots during off-peak times
Undervalued slots during high demand periods

Dynamic pricing solves both. By continuously analyzing real-time and historical data, it helps you:

Fill more tee times during slower hours by lowering prices just enough to stimulate demand.
Capture more revenue during peak demand by raising prices in line with what golfers are willing to pay.
Respond instantly to changes in demand, weather, or booking patterns — without lifting a finger.

The result? Higher revenue per round, fuller tee sheets, and smarter course operations.

Holidays and Tee Time Pricing: Turning Unique Demand Patterns into Opportunity

August 29, 2025

Holidays bring more than just fireworks, parades, and family gatherings. They bring a whole new set of challenges and opportunities for golf operators when it comes to tee time pricing. Unlike typical weekends or weekdays, holidays often shift golfer behavior in unexpected ways. Understanding these shifts is key to optimizing occupancy and maximizing revenue. How Holidays Change Demand Not all holidays affect golf demand in the same way. Some create a surge, while others cause a surprising dip. For example: Labor Day: Effectively adds an extra weekend day, creating a three-day stretch where demand typically increases. Valentine’s Day: In contrast, we have seen that demand often drops on the nearest weekend, as many golfers spend that time with loved ones instead of at the course. Every holiday has its own rhythm. Some shift demand to unusual days, some boost play, and some reduce it altogether. The key is knowing how your customers behave and adjusting accordingly. Using Priswing to Manage Holidays at Scale This is where Priswing Business Intelligence comes in. By analyzing historical and market-wide booking patterns, Priswing helps operators see how each holiday uniquely impacts demand. That insight, combined with our flexible pricing tools, makes it easy to take control. Standard holidays are already built in. Courses do not need to start from scratch because holidays are automatically included. Custom holiday rules can be created. Want to run a July 4th promotion or set premium rates for a three-day weekend? Operators can add their own pricing rules and campaigns with ease. Year-over-year refinement. Once a holiday setup is in place, operators can keep it, adjust it, or let Priswing’s algorithm recommend new opportunities. The system learns from past results, saving time while driving performance. Beyond Holidays: Treating Events Like Holidays The same setup can also be applied to recurring local events that act like holidays. For instance, the PGA Show brings a surge of golfers into Orlando, Florida every year. Savvy operators can treat that week like a holiday, creating tailored pricing strategies to capture higher demand. With Priswing, setting this up is just as easy as marking a holiday on the calendar. Turning Complexity into Confidence Holidays and events no longer need to be a guessing game. With Priswing, golf operators can approach them with confidence, knowing they have the insights, tools, and automation to align tee time pricing with real demand. That means fewer headaches, stronger revenue, and happier golfers.

For years, resorts have mastered the art of dynamic pricing by optimizing room rates based on seasonality, events, customer demand, and booking behavior. Airlines followed suit, fine-tuning fares with precision based on geography, timing, and traveler segments. So why shouldn’t golf, especially resort golf, do the same? That’s the exact question that inspired the team behind Priswing . At Priswing, we saw the parallels between golf and the broader travel industry: both are experience-driven, demand-sensitive, and shaped heavily by often uncontrollable factors like weather, seasonality, local events, and holidays . But we didn’t stop at basic rules or manual pricing tweaks. Priswing’s machine learning algorithm continuously ingests tee time data, booking patterns, and demand signals to automatically pinpoint the ideal price at the ideal time so you’re always maximizing yield without sacrificing the golfer experience . We built a platform that brings the intelligence and adaptability of modern travel pricing to the tee sheet without adding complexity for your staff. Built for Resorts, Modeled After Travel Golf at a resort is rarely just a tee time, it’s part of a bigger experience.

With Priswing, resort courses can: Automatically adjust pricing based on key demand variables like day-of-week, weather forecasts, and booking lead time. Create special rates for high-demand days like holidays, large events, or tournament weekends—just like pricing out rooms during peak occupancy. Tailor pricing to specific customer segments like hotel guests, loyalty members, or stay-and-play packages to ensure the right price for the right golfer. Take Control with Business Intelligence Dynamic pricing is only part of the equation. The other piece is knowing what’s working and why . Priswing’s built-in Business Intelligence (BI) tools give resort operators a real-time window into performance. You can: Track revenue lift from dynamic pricing changes. Identify booking trends across date ranges, rate classes, or customer types. Measure how weather or promotions are impacting conversion. Easily share performance insights across departments, from golf operations to marketing. Data-driven decisions don’t just improve pricing, they shape your whole operation. Your Course, Your Strategy We understand that every resort is unique. That’s why Priswing was built to be flexible.
