A flexible membership category just ticks along in the background with little input required – right? This is something I hear often from golf club managers. The assumption is that once a flexible membership scheme is set up, it runs itself. But is that really the case? What about transaction management?
The reality is that successfully managing a flexible membership category requires much more than meets the eye. That’s exactly why businesses like PlayMoreGolf exist – to take the workload off your shoulders and ensure your flexible membership scheme operates smoothly.
One crucial yet often overlooked aspect is transaction management. From new sign-ups and renewals to top-ups and monthly payments, managing financial transactions for flexible memberships is an ongoing process – not a once-a-year event.
Traditional golf memberships, such as 5- and 7-day categories, typically renew within a set period, making transaction handling a seasonal task. However, flexible memberships operate differently:
This means finance teams must reconcile payments, track transactions, and manage ongoing financial admin every single month – not just at renewal time.
At PlayMoreGolf, we know from working with our partner clubs that, on average, our finance team processes 200 transactions per club over a 12-month period. That’s a significant amount of administration that many clubs may not have factored into their resource planning.
For many golf clubs, the finance team is already stretched. Handling an ever-evolving list of transactions for flexible memberships can add hours of admin work each month.
This includes:
If your club doesn’t have the time or resources to manage these financial processes efficiently, it can quickly lead to accounting errors, delayed payments, and a poor experience for members.
For our partner clubs, flexible memberships really do tick along in the background – because PlayMoreGolf handles all aspects of transaction management on their behalf.
Our dedicated team takes care of:
This allows club managers to focus on delivering a great golf experience, rather than getting bogged down in administrative tasks.
Running a flexible membership category isn’t just about signing up members – it’s about efficiently managing the ongoing financial processes that keep it running smoothly. Without a structured transaction management system, golf clubs can struggle to maintain accuracy, efficiency, and ultimately, member satisfaction.
At PlayMoreGolf, we provide a fully managed transaction system, ensuring clubs can enjoy the benefits of flexible memberships without the hassle of constant financial admin.
So, if you’re considering or already running a flexible membership category, ask yourself: do you have the resources to manage the financial side effectively? If not, PlayMoreGolf is here to help.
