A booking confirmation will then be sent to the customer instantly.
SUPPORT TEE-TIME REQUESTS AN EASY AUTOMATED TEE-TIME REQUEST AND SUPPORT Customers may not always find a suitable tee-time of their choice available online on GOLF CITIZEN or the Club may not wish to make all tee times available online for various reasons. To support such a customer or a tee-time situation, we have a fully email based automated Request Tee-Time (RTT) Feature on our website which is supported on the Partner Portal Player requests a tee-time thats not available online. Club gets an email HOW DOES THIS WORK? notification and respond with tee-times via the system. This response automatically sends another email with tee time options and with a link to make payment and confirm booking
SUPPORT MUTIPLE RATES One of our USP's is that we support member-type rates via GOLF CITIZEN Play. If a member at the Club is registered as GOLF CITIZEN, he/she can get their membership verified by the club. Once verified they will see rates on GOLF CITIZEN Play that is applicable to their membership-type. All the member rates are controlled by the back-office where the reservation staff can easily add or remove different member-type rates.

These rates are also available during the in-house booking process and can speed up the booking process
LAST MINUTE AND DYNAMIC PRICING YIELD MANAGEMENT FACILITIES BUILT-IN Yield Management has become an important factor in smoothly running any business and we understand the seriousness of it. In order to support Clubs we have developed an innovative technology for Clubs to not just set up regular fixed tee-time rates but also the ability to monetize last minute bookings as well as provide the facility for dynamic pricing of rates through our GOLF CITIZEN WHAT DOES LAST MINUTE MEAN? If someone is making a tee-time booking a day before or on the play date, he is presented with a last minute tee-time rate which could be higher or lower based on how busy the club is with bookings The Club can set up a safe maximum and minimum limit of tee-time rates on WHAT IS DYNAMIC PRICING? the system. The Club can run this all the time or at specific times and/or dates. The system automatically changes the rates on GOLF CITIZEN based on booking time, play time, day of the week and booking trends
ONLINE BOOKING CHANGES BOOKING CHANGE MANAGEMENT MADE SIMPLE AND EASY It is often we see that Golfers change their mind about their golf bookings. Many a times, we have run into a scenario where the Golfer decides to cancel one or more of the players in the booking or the entire booking itself or even request to reschedule the booking. All this can be a lot of hassle and phone calls too for the club to manage. We think we have found an automated solution to this problem. We have a new feature on GOLF CITIZEN through which a Golfer can remove players, cancel or reschedule his booked tee-times yet abiding by the set cancellation policy at the club. All the changes are recorded, additional payments are taken or discounts are given and clearly indicated to the reservation team at the Club in the Booking History, making it easier for the club to understand this age old complex predicament
