Lesson booking
Golfers book their own lessons without calling the shop.
A golfer picks an instructor, a lesson length and a time, then pays online or on the day. The booking, the payment and the golfer record are one record rather than three that have to be matched up later. One screen for your staff to learn, and U.S. based people to call when they have a question.
The problem
Where this usually falls apart.
Not because anyone is doing it wrong, but because the pieces were never designed to share a database.
- The lesson calendar is a paper book behind the counter or a spreadsheet on one laptop, so nobody can answer a question about it unless they are standing in the shop.
- Golfers book lessons by calling, and the person picking up is also checking in a foursome.
- Lesson money gets collected on the side, in cash or on whatever reader is handy, then reconciled against the rest of the day from memory.
- The golfer taking six lessons a year and the golfer playing sixty rounds are stored as two different customers, so nobody can see they are the same person.
- At close, lesson revenue is a number somebody remembers rather than a line that already agrees with everything else.
Capabilities
What lesson booking includes.
The golfer picks the instructor
Which pro they want is part of the booking itself, not a note in a comment box for somebody to sort out in the morning.
The golfer picks the length
A half hour and a full hour are different bookings, not the same booking wearing a different label.
The golfer picks the time
Instructor, duration and time are chosen in one pass. The lesson is booked when the golfer finishes, not after somebody calls them back.
Pay online, or pay on the day
Take the money up front, or settle at the counter. That is the course's choice.
Payment is part of TeeWire
The card runs inside the same system that holds the booking, so a lesson payment and the lesson it paid for are one record.
One record, not three
The booking, the payment and the golfer record are the same record, rather than three records that have to be matched up later by whoever is free.
The same system as the sheet and the register
Lesson booking is not a second calendar parked next to TeeWire. It runs in the system your staff are already in all day.
Lesson revenue already has an account
The golf chart of accounts that comes with TeeWire already carries lesson revenue, so the money has somewhere correct to land before you sell the first one.
An add-on, posted on the rate card
Lesson Scheduler is an optional module on top of the base tee sheet plan, from $25 a month, posted on the pricing page like everything else.
How it works
A day of lesson booking in TeeWire.
-
They pick a pro
The golfer starts with the instructor, which is usually the reason they are booking in the first place.
-
They pick a length and a time
Duration and time come next, in the same flow. Three choices, one booking, no call to the shop.
-
They pay, or they choose to pay later
Payment happens online at the time of booking or on the day of the lesson, and either way it runs through TeeWire.
-
It lands on the golfer record
The booking, the payment and the golfer are one record, and the revenue lands in its own account.
Connected by design
Lesson Booking does not run on its own.
Every module writes to the same database, so none of these hand copies to each other.

What operators say
Golf course operators who run TeeWire, in their own words.
TeeWire has been a great experience for our golf course. We joined during the pandemic, and it’s made a huge difference. Very easy to use for our staff and our golfers and customer service is always there for any questions we may have. Highly recommended.
Ben McCain
Director of Golf, The Biltmore Hotel - Miami/Coral Gables
TeeWire has been very easy to use, and even in our first year using tee time software, our employees were able to learn the system quickly. It has made our booking process much more efficient and gives me the ability to manage our tee books even when I’m not in the pro shop. I also really appreciate their responsiveness when we have questions or need help.
Amy Schneider
Owner, Champion Hill and Pinecroft Golf Courses (MI)
Ease of use, proficient reporting and the support team is quick to respond and make changes needed to fit our business model.
