For golf course operators

Stop giving away
your tee times.

GolfNow takes 2+ tee times a day as barter. That's inventory you'll never recover. Gimmelab pays you per booking — no barter, no discounts, no lost control.

The problem

GolfNow's barter
model costs you
real money.

GolfNow doesn't pay for tee times — they take them. In exchange for their software, you hand over 2–4 prime tee times a day. They sell those as "Hot Deals" at steep discounts, keep the revenue, and you get nothing.


For a course doing $65 green fees, that's $40–50K per year in inventory handed over for free. Every. Single. Year.
