Indoor Golf Season Is Here
November 2025
Stay warm. Stay swinging. Stay connected with ForeTees.
As winter sets in across the north, many clubs are transforming what would be a season of downtime into a vibrant indoor and social space for golfers. With high-tech simulators paired with ForeTees’ Simulator Reservations, clubs can effortlessly run off-season activities! Whether you have a single bay in the golf shop, four TrackMan units in a studio, or a multi-sport simulator in the fitness center, ForeTees adapts. Let us handle the custom booking rules and availability to keep you at ease.
This month, we at ForeTees, want to share the possibilities of creating this space for members and give ideas for how to promote leagues and events.
Drive Engagement With Your Members
Familiar, Easy Tee Sheet Experience
Pros and Members already know and trust ForeTees. Booking a simulator session works just like booking a tee time - no new systems, logins, or confusion. Simulator tee sheet can be viewed or modified from anywhere through the Member and Staff Apps.
Less friction equals more usage.
BONUS: Boost Revenue with Food & Beverage Online Ordering
Winter golf should feel fun, seamless, and social, and nothing keeps members happier than food and drinks delivered straight to their bay. With ForeTees’ mobile food ordering and simple QR code setup, clubs can turn their simulator studios into full-service hangout spots.
✔ Order Right From the Bay
✔ Orders Go Straight to the Point of Sale & Kitchen
✔ Increase F&B Revenue Without Extra Staffing
More drinks sold. More snacks or appetizers added. It’s the easiest upsell you’ll make all winter.
Increase Bookings With Smart Visibility
Showcase your simulators front-and-center in the ForeTees app. Simply hide your summer content and highlight the winter events to drive participation when the course is closed. Set it, forget it, and watch your member's app auto update throughout the seasons.
Importance of Communication & Promotion
Clubs that use push notifications strategically report higher league participation, faster sign-ups, and stronger overall awareness of their indoor offerings. Even a simple reminder on a cold afternoon (“Simulators are open! Book your bay tonight!”) can spark immediate reservations and keep winter activity levels steady.
Promote last-minute openings, league schedules, events announcements, and facility updates using Push Notifications
Feature events in your Club News section, announcements page, or club website.
Use QR coded and deep linking to direct members right to registration pages.
Insights & Integrations to Help You Plan
Beyond daily scheduling, reporting provides clubs with deeper visibility into how their simulators are being used and how they can grow winter programming year after year.
Usage reports help identify peak times, popular reservation patterns, league participation trends, and instructor demand.
Many clubs use these insights to refine their winter schedule, adjust availability, or introduce new programming that aligns with member behavior.
Just as important is how smoothly ForeTees integrates with your existing club systems. All together, these integrations create a winter escape that functions effortlessly behind the scenes, giving clubs a fully connected, modern solution for the off-season.
For clubs using the ForeTees POS, simulator transactions and food orders are automatically routed and recorded, eliminating manual entry and reducing errors. Members enjoy a seamless experience, and staff gain hours back each week.
When paired with the ForeTees Mobile Key, clubs can even enable secure access to indoor golf spaces, ensuring only authorized members can enter while providing them with exceptional convenience.
Winter Programming Ideas to Keep Members Active:
Lessons & Club Fittings
Remind members that winter is prime time to work on the technicals of your game and upgrade equipment. Especially through the season of gift-giving.
With the low-pressure atmosphere of a hitting bay, it is the perfect opportunity to spread the game to the more beginner members. Offering clinics at a variety of levels is the perfect way to grow the golf membership and strengthen bonds.
Leagues
Match Play: Players face off head-to-head each week in match-play format, earning points for wins and ties. The top players move on to a playoff bracket to determine the season champion.
FedEx Cup: Each week players take on the same course, battling for points that build throughout the season. As winter progresses, the leaderboard tightens until the top contenders advance to a high-stakes playoff.
Scramble: Two-person or four-person scrambles played indoors. Great for friendly competition and mixed groups.
Special Events
Skill Challenges: Show off skills! Try closest-to-the-pin, longest drive, one-club rounds, and more. Fun, fast-paced competitions perfect for all skill levels.
Holiday Events: Bring the holiday spirit indoors! Enjoy festive simulator events, family-friendly challenges, and fun competitions perfect for the season.
