Tips for League Play and Increased Food and Beverage Sales
By Alan Stalcup, President of CourseTrends
Here are several ideas that you can implement this season to increase your food and beverage sales and league play.
1. Dine and Nine – A perennial favorite. $30 for dinner and 9 holes of golf after 5:00. Obviously adjust your rates and times depending on your facility. Focus on family – kids 12 and under play free with paying adult.
2. Wine and Nine – I love this idea to increase women play. Offer instruction, 9 holes of golf, and a wine tasting with appetizers. At one facility we charged $40 and had 40 women participate for ten weeks, that’s $16,000 that this facility wasn’t seeing before.
3. When Leagues Pay – Have individuals pay each week after their round instead of the group paying up front. Sure it takes a little more work but think about it, if you have 30 to 60 people finishing at the same time, you can create a sense of community and you can sell additional drinks and snacks.
4. Wireless Access – Offer wireless Internet access at your facility. It’s becoming the norm at most hotels and restaurants, like air-conditioning was in the 50s. You can set it up for less than $200, and it provides a good reason for folks to eat and conduct business at your facility. Just go to OfficeMax or similar store and pick up a wireless router.
5. Practice Lunch – Offer a complementary bucket of balls with lunch to attract a local lunch crowd. Your restaurant offers something no other restaurant can — golf!
6. Targeted Communication – Create a segmented email list of people that want to receive your weekly lunch specials via email. Create a comment card or table-tent for customers to fill out and sign up for weekly lunch specials.
