Payment solutions for golf clubs

A golf club takes payments in more places than almost any other business: the bar and restaurant, the pro shop, the starter’s hut, out on the course, and online for memberships and society bookings. Each one needs to work, often far from the Wi-Fi.

Payments that work across the whole course

Clubhouse Wi-Fi rarely reaches the halfway hut or the far end of the car park. Dojo Go Max switches between Wi-Fi and 4G automatically, and its 4G SIM searches for the strongest available network, so you can take payments wherever your members are.

Know which till is earning what

This is where a bit of thought pays off. At a football club I work with, I colour-coded every card machine and renamed each one by location in Dojo’s online portal: gate, bar, catering. Staff grab the right machine, machines can move between areas on quieter days, and the takings are reported by location. The same approach works for a golf club’s bar, pro shop and halfway hut.

“That provides a way of tracking the revenue coming into your business.”

Bookings, memberships and societies

  • Society days and lessons: send a payment link to take a deposit or the full amount in advance.
  • Memberships and green fees online: add online checkout to your website.
  • Clubhouse dining: Dojo’s table booking service lets members book a table online.

Faster service at the bar

After a round, everyone wants paying at once. Payments approved in under 2 seconds† keep the bar moving, and Dojo Pocket lets staff take orders and payments at the table.
