Golf and sports club site with tee-time booking
Memberships and tee times booked without a phone call
/ Overview
A members' club was taking tee-time bookings by phone during office hours only, which suited nobody. We built a licensed club design into a live site with online tee-time booking, membership applications, event listings and card payment.

Project: Golf and sports club site with tee-time booking
Client: Under NDA — reference available on request
Industry: Sports, leisure & hospitality
Engagement: Design build-out & booking engineering
Built on: iGolf (golf & sports club design template) by majeng-karya, licensed via UI8
/ Challenge
Tee-time booking has awkward rules — member priority windows, guest limits, seasonal pricing and a booking horizon that differs by membership tier. The membership is also older on average, so the interface had to be genuinely simple and work on an iPad without pinching.
/ Provided Services
Site & booking build
Licensed design built out with a tee-time booking engine encoding member priority windows, guest limits, tier-based booking horizons and seasonal pricing.
Memberships & payments
Online membership applications with document upload and approval workflow, plus card payment for green fees, events and subscription renewals.
Accessibility & testing
Large touch targets, high contrast and simplified flows, validated with actual club members on their own devices before go-live.
/ Solution
We encoded the club's actual booking rules rather than simplifying them, because the rules are what members value about membership. The interface was built large-touch-target first and tested with real members before launch, which changed several decisions we would have got wrong.
/ Tech stack
WordPress
The club's own office staff publish events, news and competition results, which was a firm requirement from the committee.
Custom booking module
Tee-time rules built as a bespoke module rather than a generic plugin, because no off-the-shelf booking tool handled member priority correctly.
Payment gateway
Card payment for fees, events and renewals with automated receipting and a reconciliation report for the club treasurer.
/ Client's Feedback
Half our members are over sixty and we were told online booking would never work for us. They tested it with actual members before launch and now most tee times are booked online.
