1. 4/5Convenient App. Could use some tweaks

   I found this app at the beginning of the golf season. It has saved me money overall, as the "Hot Deals" are hard to beat. I've paid as little as $14 to as much as $54 for a hot deal, depending on how long I hold out to book my round. I, like many, share the frustration of having to book 3 days out to use your "Bonus". Sometimes I don't know if I'll be able to play until the day before, and by then it's too late to use it. I understand GolfNow wants to make as much money on the tee time as they can, but you are also making money from the course that uses the system. I only have 3 courses in my area that use it, one of them being my "Home" course, so for that I am lucky. I've tried using it for keeping score, but it seems the same as other Apps, where if your phone goes to sleep between holes, you have to start from the beginning, unless you take your phone off power saving mode. Overall, it's a good app to have because the rounds from what I can tell are at least 1/2 off the regular greens fees. You just have to be willing to abide by the their policies concerning the Bonus for booking the "Hot Deals"

2. 2/5Poor Customer Service

   I’ve just deleted the GolfNow App. I’ve been using it for over a year now. Functionally, the app works great. The aggregation of area golf courses was a useful tool. However, last week I accidentally booked a tee time for the next day when my nephew and I intended to play that day. We arrived at the golf course around 45 minutes before the tee time but immediately I realized my mistake when I went to check in. The course was able to get us a same day tee time and we happily played. I immediately went to the GolfNow app and cancelled the mistaken tee time. They still charged me. I called customer service today and they informed me that I had cancelled 23 hours and 27 minutes prior to my tee time therefore breaching their 24 hour cancellation policy. I politely informed the customer service rep that if she didn’t find some way to make an exception and refund me the $100 for a mistaken booking that I had cancelled in good faith as soon as I realized the mistake, that I would never use their service again. I also informed her that I’m a daily golfer. She made the decision for her company that she’d rather lose them a few thousand dollars rather than refund me $100. If GolfNow refunds me that money, I’ll happily renew my use of their service but I won’t support a company with such lack of empathy and unbudging adherence to strict policy. There’s ALWAYS a way to make an exception. In this case, they decided not to.

3. 1/5Stay Away! Will treat you like trash

   Great concept, app works most of the time. But the customer service is terrible and borderline scam like. 3 TIMES I booked through Golf Now only to get to the course to find it I booked an UNAVAILABLE (taken) tee time and had to head home. But guess who didn’t get back the booking fee? THIS GUY. I called and complained but to my surprise no one was ready to refund me for my IMAGINARY Tee Time. I figured okay whatever I book with them all the time. What’s $30 dollars. But the last stroke occurred recently when attempting to book a tee time on the app. I chose the time, selected FOUR PLAYERS, and tried to pay but was hit with the “Tee time is unavailable”. So like the golf addict I am I went ahead and tried to book the next available time, which went through and I got through to the conformation screen. Nice! A few days after playing THAT round Gold Now emails me saying I was a “No Show” and charged me for the FULL ROUND! Nearly $250 for a round I never played. SWEEEET. I tried to reach out to them, but now it’s such a pain- only available through online chat. They sent me in circles. I ended up speaking with the course who urged me to never book through them and that they get complaints ALL THE TIME! I’m not a scammer, I was glad to pay the course the tee time fee and carts for playing, but being charged AGAIN by Golf Now is a JOKE. Like I said the concept is nice and interface is convenient, but god forbid you have an issue- you’ll be left in the rough. Do yourself a favor and book through the actual golf course. They are more understanding and guess what- it’s FREE.

4. 4/5Fine product for deals and ease....

   I am (newly) returning to the game now that my boys have become avid golfers. I didn't have all these new features and ease of booking when I played this game many years ago. I like the ease and 24-hour availability to book tee times. My crazy life and business make it difficult to be available to many courses during business hours to reserve a time. I live in Utah, which has a LOT of terrific golf courses. I wish that GN had more Hot Deals at more of the courses around the Salt Lake, Davis, and Weber County areas. I find myself limited to only a couple of courses for Hot Deals, and a couple of my favorite courses are not in this program. I have spoken with a couple of reps at GN, and they are familiar with the courses I am wanting to play - they just have not been able to work out a contract with those courses. Good luck! I hope we can add them soon! All in all, GN has been a good product for me and my boys. I would like and appreciate a greater variety of courses in the Hot Deals program. There are too many great courses around me to be limited to a "couple" of deals.

5. 1/5Paid Membership Not Worth the Premium

   GolfNow charges a premium for its paid membership, but the benefits are so restrictive that they feel almost unusable. You sign up expecting meaningful value from the points, credits, and discounts, only to find out they apply in very limited situations, on a narrow set of tee times, and with so many exclusions that they rarely help when you actually want to book. It creates the impression that the membership is packed with perks, but once you try to use them, the fine print matters more than the benefit itself. What makes it even more frustrating is that the points don’t seem to have a consistent value. Even when you do find a course that allows GolfPass points, and that already seems uncommon for the courses in my area, the value you get from those points can vary from course to course. That means the same points you earned don’t redeem at any kind of universal or predictable rate, which makes the program feel even less transparent and less useful. A rewards system should be simple and reliable, not something where the value changes depending on where you happen to book. For a paid membership, this has been incredibly disappointing. You are paying extra for benefits that are advertised as a major advantage, but in practice they are difficult to use, inconsistently applied, and often unavailable when you actually need/want them. Instead of making booking easier and more affordable, the membership turns into an exercise in hunting for exceptions, loopholes, and limited eligibility. At that point, it stops feeling like a real perk and starts feeling like an upsell built around benefits that are technically offered but practically hard to use.
