Rewards app turns range sessions, simulator bar visits, and golf store trips into rewards points that can redeemed for premium golf merchandise.
MERRILLVILLE, INDIANA — GolfN, the innovative golf rewards platform and digital caddie app that pays golfers to play, recently added a breakthrough feature on the app that allows users to earn rewards points for not just playing rounds of golf, but for also doing virtually anything golf-related in their daily life.
The GolfN app’s new Daily Grind feature opens up a whole new world of rewards. This function allows users to check into golf’s first true rewards app at golf-related businesses and locations — in addition to the golf course — to earn reward points in an inclusive, accessible way that fits their lifestyle and schedule.
“By bringing the Daily Grind into the GolfN app ecosystem, we’re building this universe that rewards you for almost every way you engage with golf — whether that’s a golf course, a simulator business, driving range, par-3 course, or even something more casual. You can check in, have your golf-centric activity logged, and earn rewards more frequently. I think once people see how easy it is to earn points for wedges, putters, drivers, irons, and other things, just for doing golf-related things, people will want to start using the app essentially everywhere,” said GolfN Founder and CEO Jared Phillips.
Since its launch, GolfN has rewarded members and let them redeem points they accrue by playing golf rounds with the GolfN mobile app engaged – with or without its dynamic GPS yardage and digital caddie mode. Now, those users can earn points with a wide variety of golf activities that can be redeemed in GolfN’s Pro Shop, which showcases more than 380 items from 28 top-tier golf vendors.
The Daily Grind was quietly launched on the app in May with users from around the globe already earning GolfN points at a wide variety of venues. Phillips adds that users have the ability to suggest that the GolfN team add non-course golfing locations they visit so the rewards ecosystem stays relevant and more golfers are rewarded, near home or on the road.
“It’s been fascinating to watch Daily Grind take shape in real time,” Phillips said. “The engagement has been overwhelmingly positive. There’s a thoughtfulness behind the participation. People are uploading photos, reviews, even receipts from the locations they visit. They’re taking pride in documenting their golf journey. One of the most surprising and encouraging things has been how passionate users are about representing their local golf communities. If a driving range or shop isn’t listed, golfers immediately suggest it because they want the places they love reflected inside the app. That sense of local pride has been incredibly rewarding to see.”
The motivation behind GolfN’s Daily Grind feature stems from the idea that the modern golf experience is much broader than just playing 18 holes. Golfers may not have time to get on the course multiple times a week, but they still visit fitting studios, driving ranges, simulator venues, or retail shops. “We view all of those touchpoints as equally valuable parts of the golf ecosystem,” Phillips adds. “GolfN is built around the belief that golfers deserve to share in the value they create. Right now, Daily Grind rewards are intentionally very strong because we want users actively participating and helping us shape the feature during this early phase. We’re incentivizing feedback because that collaboration is what helps us build a better platform.”
NEW PARTNERS JOIN THE GOLFN ECOSYSYTEM
One of the businesses that will see instant benefit from GolfN’s Daily Grind feature is new partner, GolfCave, the Tri-State region’s premier 24/7 indoor golf destination with private Trackman simulator rooms. GolfCave’s locations and customer benefits will be featured within the GolfN app with the intent to drive more traffic to these venues.
A neighborhood home for a year-round golfing experience, GolfCave has grown to more than a dozen locations across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Each GolfCave location offers golfers the ability to practice, play virtual rounds on world-renowned courses, receive lessons, participate in tournaments, and access club-fitting services in a private, comfortable environment.
“We never want GolfN to feel cluttered with generic advertising. Any partnership we introduce needs to genuinely enhance the golfer’s experience and feel relevant to their local market and interests, so GolfCave coming on early as a partner will teach us a lot about customer behavior and their loyalty to their local venues,” Phillips said, noting that GolfN will continue to add select, strategic marketing partnerships as the platform continues to grow. “When partnerships are done correctly, they don’t feel intrusive — they feel valuable. A golfer discovering a discounted lesson, a new simulator venue, or a compelling local offer isn’t seeing an ad; they’re discovering something useful.”
SWEEPSTAKES FROM THE DAILY GRIND TO PEBBLE BEACH
To ring in the launch of The Daily Grind, GolfN just announced a blockbuster sweepstakes that will take one lucky Daily Grind users to the hallowed shores of Pebble Beach Golf Links for a three-day, three-night golf adventure of a lifetime. According to the GolfN app: “The more you grind, the better your odds. Every Daily Grind punchcard completed earns you entries, with Daily Grind Elite members earning 3x the entries of free pass members.”
The prize includes airfare, hotel, and a round of golf at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The more GolfN users check in during golf-based activities, they more chances they have to win this enticing dream golf trip.
The GolfN app is free to use, ensuring that any golfer can begin earning rewards points immediately. For those seeking to accelerate their rewards, GolfN offers optional membership tiers that provide points multipliers and enhanced earning potential — without compromising the core free experience.
GolfN was designed to make every round more rewarding, every golfer more engaged, and every moment connected to the game more valuable. “If it’s golf, it’s GolfN. That’s the philosophy behind everything we’re building. Whether it’s lessons, simulator sessions, practice facilities, retail visits, or rounds played, we want golfers to feel like every part of their golf life belongs inside the GolfN ecosystem and can earn them points they can use toward items from leading companies like L.A.B. Golf, Cobra Golf, Bettinardi, Cleveland, Srixon and others.”
The GolfN app is available to golfers everywhere in Apple and Android versions.
