Pricing Policy: Demand-Based Pricing
Manatee Golf Course utilizes demand-based pricing, a strategy widely used in airlines, hotels, and professional sports. This means greens fees will fluctuate in real-time based on factors such as demand, availability, and time of day—allowing golfers to find the best rates that suit their schedules.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing
What is Demand-Based Pricing?
Rates are adjusted both higher and lower in real-time based on course demand and availability. This dynamic pricing model ensures fair access to tee times while helping golfers find the best deals.
I play at the same time every week. Why is my greens fee different?
Why is the other twosome playing with us paying a different rate?
Tee sheet pricing updates in real-time, meaning that if two separate reservations were made at different times, they may have been booked under different pricing conditions. As bookings change, rates may adjust accordingly.
