POS & Tee Sheet Compatibility
Examples from golf courses, clubs & resorts
Preferred Patron delivers golf course loyalty program software built for clubs and courses to increase repeat rounds, grow pro shop & clubhouse revenue, and improve engagement using points, Club Cash, tiers, and automated reminders.
Prepaid round packs changed the conversation. Golfers pre-buy visits, we track redemptions, and reminders keep them booking again.
We stopped relying on steep discounts. Club Cash feels valuableâand it can only be redeemed on-property, so spend stays in-house.
Staff donât have to remember scripts. The program handles follow-ups, review asks, and win-backs automatically.
Golfers earn real course credit they can use on green fees, pro shop, or clubhouse. Bigger milestones unlock VIP perksâso they choose us for their next round.
Points flexibility drives engagement. Golfers choose pro shop perks or digital gift cards, while tiers help nudge the actions you want without constant discounting.
Golfers pre-buy multi-visit bundles like range cards, lesson series, and cart packages. We track redemptions and prompt the next booking before they lapse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions course operators ask when rolling out prepaid packs, Club Cash, and retention automation.
Create prepaid bundles (e.g., 5 rounds, 10 range buckets, or a 4-lesson series). Golfers pre-purchase, then redeem over time. The system tracks remaining entitlements and can nudge golfers when itâs time to book again.
Yes. There are two common ways to do this:
- Club Cash / Course Credit (points): Use points with a course-branded label and set redemption rules so value can only be used on-propertyâhelping you incent action while protecting your rates.
- Loyalty cash: Use loyalty cash instead of (or alongside) points so golfers build a cash balance they can apply in any amount as course-only credit.
Automation can trigger based on last round, pack status, milestones, or lapsed behavior. That means golfers get timely nudges to book again, and lapsed golfers get a win-back offer before they drift to another course.
Yes. Reward behaviors like referrals and Google review completions with points or Club Cash. You can also add boosters for specific campaigns (events, off-peak play, or shoulder-season goals).
No. Preferred Patron can work alongside your existing POS and tee sheet/booking tools. Many operators start with simple daily exports; API-based connections can be supported when available.
Common rewards include pro shop credit, clubhouse/F&B credit, range buckets, cart fees, guest passes, lesson credits, branded merchandise, and optional digital gift cards. Courses often reserve the best perks for VIP tiers.
We commonly work alongside of popular golf and hospitality systems (POS and tee sheet).
Yes. We can import existing golfer lists and memberships so you can launch without starting from zero.
Programs are designed to be low-lift: earn/redeem rules run automatically, and staff mainly focuses on promoting the program and honoring redemptions.
Yes. You can run points, cashback/credit, punch-style programs, VIP tiers, and gift-card-only options depending on your operation and goals.
Third-party rewards can drive one-off bookings, but your own program builds your database and keeps value redeemable at your facilityâhelping you grow repeat play, on-property spend, and direct relationships.
More repeat rounds, stronger engagement between visits, higher pro shop/F&B revenue, better reviews and referrals, and a structured way to incentivize behavior without constant discounting.
