From an Expense to a Revenue Stream: Golf Cart Edition

Golf carts play a pivotal role in daily golf cart operations on courses, serving as essential tools for efficient player movement, course management, and revenue generation.

With strategic scheduling and technology such as keyless fleet management and self-service rental options, courses can maximize cart availability, boost revenue, and enhance player satisfaction.

Here’s a closer look at why golf carts are indispensable and how EAGL’s keyless solutions can optimize their use.

Strategies to Optimize Golf Cart Rental Availability

The Importance of Golf Carts in Golf Course Management

Golf carts enhance operations by facilitating player movement and reducing course congestion. Studies show that using golf carts can increase the pace of play by 15-20%, allowing courses to accommodate more players per day. Beyond player convenience, golf cart operations account for a significant portion of course revenue—often contributing up to 20% of annual earnings. Optimizing these operations with keyless golf cart solutions ensures carts are used to their full potential while reducing strain on staff resources.

Smart Scheduling During Peak Times

  • Analyze past data to determine peak usage times, often during early morning and late afternoon. Aligning cart availability with demand allows for more efficient use of resources, particularly when supported by self-service rental systems, which reduce wait times by allowing players to book directly through an app.

Dynamic Pricing for Increased Revenue

  • Leveraging dynamic pricing, such as adjusting rates based on peak and off-peak times, can boost income by up to 15%. Offering discounts during slower hours or higher rates during peak times encourages better cart distribution throughout the day.

Maximize Flexibility with Keyless Access

  • EAGL’s keyless fleet management solution simplifies cart rentals by allowing players to access carts via an app. This keyless golf cart system not only increases rental flexibility but also improves efficiency by reducing the need for staff involvement in the booking process.

Optimize Group Rentals with Coupons

  • With EAGL’s coupon feature, you can offer special rates for larger groups, such as corporate outings or senior players, filling carts during off-peak hours and maximizing availability for individual players during peak times.

Real-Time Monitoring and Notifications

  • Real-time tracking and notifications enable managers to stay updated on cart usage, improving rotation and ensuring carts are available exactly when players need them. EAGL’s notification center provides immediate insights, allowing you to adjust cart rotations and meet demand in real time.
