Last Minute Golf: What is it and How does it work?

If you’re reading this and wondering what last minute golf is, then don’t worry – you’re not alone! Last minute golf, also known as last-minute tee times, can be confusing, especially if you’ve never taken part in it before. It’s a great way to get cheaper greens fees and make money off of the fact that most people book their rounds ahead of time – but what is it? Well, first of all, it’s not really golf – it just involves using a golf course.


SOUTH AFRICA'S TOP GOLF COURSES




Who do they serve

Playing a round of golf is a fun-filled recreational activity that can bring together friends, family, coworkers, and more. The main benefit of golfing is the opportunity to exercise in a relaxed setting that can improve one's mental health. There are many aspects to playing the game that can be confusing or intimidating for newcomers.


BOOK FLIGHTS


What services do they offer

The Last Minute Group has created a service that benefits any golfer, who wants to get out on the course but was not able to plan accordingly. They will find you a group of players with similar abilities, so that all players in the group have an equal chance at winning. Furthermore, if there are not enough players for your desired time/course, they can customize a last minute golf experience by finding another experienced player in the area who is looking for someone to join their game.


BOOK ACCOMMODATION

The pros of booking a last minute trip to play golf

If you're looking for a new way to experience golf, last minute golf may be the perfect choice. You get all the benefits of being out on the green without investing too much time or money into planning. 

The process of booking a last minute trip to play golf will vary depending on your destination, but most courses have packages that can give you some type of playing experience in one day. 

Plus, sometimes booking a last minute trip can offer you an edge over any competitors who are less flexible.

The cons of booking a last minute trip to play golf

Booking a last minute trip to play golf could mean you miss out on some important details that might have an impact on your game. For example, if the greens are super hard and fast, you'll want to think about how to execute shots from the rough or take more time for your swing. Planning ahead of time would also ensure the course has your handicap in their system.


Conclusions about making a last minute travel plan for your next game of golf

The best golf courses in the country are usually booked solid. That's why booking your next game of golf as last minute as possible may seem like the only option. But just because you book a course last minute doesn't mean you'll be paying high prices for tee times. Look for great deals on quality courses, because with a little planning, you might be able to get lucky enough to find what you're looking for at just the right time. For example, some courses offer discounts if you want to play early in the morning or late in the evening. Others offer discounted rates if you don't mind being paired up with other players who want to take advantage of these same specials. If none of these options sound like they suit your needs, then start checking out other courses in the area that have available space during those hours that work for you.





Last Minute Golf


Looking for a golf club in Boschenmeer, killarney, Kleinmond, Krugersdorp and Leeuwkop? Book cheap, royalServices golf courses and discounted green fees .


How does it Work?


lastminutegolf is an online booking platform for golf tee times. lastminutegolf gives you access to over 200,000 tee times a month, at 135+ golf course across South Africa

How have we kept the prices so low for these tee times?
We buy unsold, distressed tee times and sell them on to customers at last minute discounted pricing.
Because the times would not have been sold otherwise, we are able to buy them at a lower than normal price.

We then market those tee times to an extensive golf audience, showcasing the golf clubs to visitors who may not have considered playing there otherwise.

lastminutegolf is allowing golf clubs to generate revenue from unsold golf tee times.

Each visitor lastminutegolf sends to a golf club often supports the club in other ways like food and beverage sales, by hiring a cart or taking a caddie.




PLAYMORE GOLF


How It Works

Every golf club has empty slots or tee times in their tee sheet. playmoregolf (PMG) buys up these unused slots & offers these times to our members at subsidised prices.

We do this at golf clubs around the country, giving you affordable and easy accessible golf at a huge variety of clubs. As a member you can take advantage of these incredible prices at golf courses previously thought to be inaccessible. PMG want to put more golfers onto golf courses. Therefore if you are a member of PMG, you can invite friends to play with you.

We take the stress out of booking, we secure you great golf courses to play, we offer you the best golf rates you can find and we put fun and friendly back into the game. The more rounds that are played through PMG, the more revenue is received by golf clubs that previously could not sell these unused times. Everyone wins. Come on South Africa, PLAY MORE GOLF.
