The new “Rapid Redeem” tee time offering will make it easy for all Go Play Golf Gift Card™ holders to book tee times seamlessly online.
“The GolfSwitch network allows us to offer our cardholders an easy online booking option at thousands of golf course nationwide,” said Loralei Abels, Founder, Go Play Golf LLC. “Our gift card sales were over 1.2 million in 2015.
