GolfNow Book TeeTimes Golf GPS Reviews

WORST customer service of any company I’ve ever worked with, borderline nonexistent. If you have an issue with a refund like me, there is no possible way to talk to anyone on the phone, there’s no email to be found on the website, and finding where to virtual chat was nearly impossible. It took me 30 minutes to find a way to communicate with a human being, and that was an online chat.

I had played 6 holes of the round as a group of 4, so the GolfNow hot deal had cost over $100. The course closed for weather which qualifies for a refund, and when I finally was able to chat with customer service they tried to negotiate a less than 40% refund in a credit to my account that would expire in 90 days. I had to negotiate like it was some kind of car sale rather than a REFUND. They came up a little bit, but needless to say, if there’s any chance of weather during a round, I will NEVER use GolfNow again.

Refund and cancelation policy is just too rigid. Accidentally clicked the wrong date and booked. Upon realizing my mistake, I tried to correct my error but unable to get it corrected. Not only did I have to pay at the course, but also was forced to pay for 2 tee times that I could not use. Since it is not easy to book a tee time for you and a guest and have them pay for themselves, I booked 2 tee times and had to eat the cost of 2 rounds I did not play. Also, the price after fees is more than calling the course and booking direct, and they don’t make you pay when you don’t show up. This used to be good until you need customer service. It’s like the airlines making you pay $200 to change your flight. Customers need to change plans when life happens. Golf is supposed to be about being able to relax. This just adds way too much stress and I’ll never use this service again.

Visiting a friend in a city outside Louisville, KY and we wanted to get a round in before dark. Searched the city in GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS that I was in for nearby courses and it selected a course that was 7.4 miles away (or so GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS told me, my filter of “within 25 miles” was also on.) the course was in a different city, which was normal for being in a semi-rural area. Trusting GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS I didn’t put the course into my gps yet to check and proceeded to check out. Come to find out that the course was over 3 hours away. I’m guessing my “use my location”was turned off but it shouldn’t matter since I searched the city directly, state and all. GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS was obviously wrong but I assume responsibility because I didn’t check the location of course through Maps. I called the course to cancel and they stated they can’t do anything which I expected. Called golfnow and they refused to accept responsibility. Deleted GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS immediately and switched to a competitor.

This company preys on lower-level courses in need of revenue and then strong-arms their clients and the courses. I have personally talked to one course who told me GolfNow wouldn't allow them to let me push my time back 20 minutes, even though the course was 100% okay with us teeing off 20 minutes later. I then called a nicer course to try to get our round in, and they told me they would never work with GolfNow because of how they operate. Traffic had me 5 minutes late for my 12pm time and even though the course had a completely open 12:20pm time, GolfNow would not allow them to let us play the 12:20 time without paying for another round. So I payed for a twosome that we couldn’t play and GolfNow refused to refund our money or allow us to play the open 12:20 time which was totally unbooked and the course was fine with us playing. I had to open a bank dispute with this company to have any chance of getting my money back for services I didn’t receive. Worst thing was that my banker was totally aware of GolfNow’s antics and vowed to try his best to get my money back because he was fully aware of how they operate. ONLY USE IF YOU MUST PLAY LESSER COURSES AT LESSER PRICES. ALSO NEW GPS FEATURE IS A JOKE.

Just get 18Birdies app and do it right.

Most overrated app I’ve ever used. You are charged a convenience fee for each tee time you book even though nothing about it is convenient. God forbid you are a human being and have something come up and have to cancel a tee time, not only will they charge you for the tee time (even if it is cancelled a week in advance) they will also let someone else go ahead and book that tee time and tell you it’s been filled (I wanted to let my brother use the tee time since I would have to pay for it anyway). I was also once charged double for a tee time because GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS froze, was told I would be reimbursed in full (after waiting on hold for an hour and a half), and wound up with “promo codes” which are only redeemable Monday-Friday when any productive American is working at their job. This is the first time I’ve ever written a negative review for anything but GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS has caused me so much trouble I needed to get it out there. I would highly recommend anybody using GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS to switch to another golf app like 18Birdies. GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS has cost me hundreds of dollars unnecessarily and has been nothing but trouble for me.

I’ve been a user of Golfnow for about 5 years.
This weekend I had a tee time registered at a local golf course at 830 am…. Are area was hit by very bad storms the night before over 5 inches of rain in 30 hours governor actually issued a state of emergency for the day freeways were flooded higher then car roofs. I proceeded to wake up at 730 am and call the course and received no answer. I assumed with all the rain and no answer course was obviously closed. At some point the course opened that day and told Golfnow to bill me for a no show or cancellation. I’m an avid golfer never once missed a tee time or forgot to cancel a tee time it’s the respectful thing to do. But no answer at course and 5 inches of rain I thought seemed obvious. Needless to say I contacted customer service talked to employee who said the course said charge was valid and could do nothing about it. I asked to speak to a manager after about 20 minutes on hold they came back and said he would call within 24 hours it’s going on about 4 days. No attempt at calling me back at all.
Seems a little careless on Golfnow to immediately take sides with course worker over a customer who has used them for over 5 years and never once had any issues.

I use to love y’all’s app but after an incident yesterday I doubt I will ever use it again. I booked an afternoon tee time for me and a friend yesterday. When we arrived at the course they did not see our time anywhere. Once we started looked we discovered the time had been set for the next day. The course general manager and my self both contacted your customer service and was told there was no way to Change/ reschedule/ or cancel because it was prepaid. I understand if I just wanted to out right cancel then yes charge me but the reservation was made for the wrong date. I had to pay the course their fees plus what I had to pay y’all so I am out 75 dollars for a simple round of golf. If I cannot confidently book through your app and know the time I am selecting is the one it is setting I am better off just booking straight through the course itself. Thank you for you time in reading this and look forward to hearing from you.

I’ve used Golfnow app to book reservations with no issues. But today I made a reservation on the wrong date and it was a hot deal. It was meant for May 7th but unfortunately I clicked May 14th on accident. I went back to cancel my reservation but they say no refunds on hot deals. So I book the right date...May 7th and give them a call. Wait times over 3 hours so I have them call me back. I talked to a representative and told him it was an honest mistake and that I already rebooked my reservation for May 7th. But he says it’s policy and there is no refund. First of all they should have waived this and not just send me promos that I still haven’t received. I lost $60 and then booked another same reservation for $61 on the right date and in the hole $120. It’s doing the right thing and giving good customer service. GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS seems to be good but the service is terrible and makes me want to delete GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS . Warning to everyone who uses GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS ...to never make a mistake and don’t buy hot deals on GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS .

Downloaded GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS to save time booking tee times. Had an issue on vacation with a booking for a $100 tee time and they refused to refund the Green fees. Then they said this would t happen if I was a VIP member. So I paid for that another $100... Yesterday booked a two some on accident when we had a threesome playing, went back and canceled it immediately after. Instead of refunding my money they issued a “credit” to Golf Now. I called and spoke to Michelle (Jimmy’s supervisor) who was apathetic towards the issue and just kept repeating the same thing about the terms and conditions. Usually when I trust a company I don’t worry about the fine print, I guess that’s on me. They burned me TWICE, don’t waste your time with GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS. Call the pro shop they usually are more helpful and at least you can speak to them face to face on any issues. They will also provide better prices on tee times. I will tell everyone I Golf with going forward about this to do my best in preventing other people from getting scammed.

I have used GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS a few times and it worked fine. I made a tee time for this weekend and received an email that the course modified the tee time to something we couldn’t do because of Covid-19. I tried to cancel the tee time and discovered it was not eligible for cancellation even though I was following the direction of Golfnow. I called the number in the email I received from Golfnow to discover they have no phone agents, they are now all chat agents. I went back to both GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS and the full website to try to chat and there are no options. I tried to call the course to cancel and their automated system hangs up on you.
GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is fine for booking a tee time, though probably worth saving your $10 “convenience” fee and just call the course directly. The real breakdown is their service if you need to modify something. Terrible experience and I’ll be letting everyone wi know who golfs about my experience as well.

GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is not worth it! People! Just search Golfnow Review online! It shows you how they rip you off! But this is my experience. I tried to book a tee time, it doesn't work saying it's not available anymore. But GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS charges me anyway. So I wanted a refund. I try calling and it takes forever so I give up. I go to their site and try customer chat and I tried to explain my issues. In the mid sentence I'm writing this, their "customer service, Scott P" close the chat... What?! I wasn't taking long time to write the sentence. And I purposefully divided explanations and sent my first sentence ahead so they don't think I'm gone. I thought maybe there was a connection issue and I tried to reconnect. Same "Scott P, the customer service representative" appears. He asks for my name and email. So I did. He recognizes my name and email and instantly cut off our chat. What?! This isn't a good company. It might have been descent app before, but they obviously don't know what they are doing anymore.

I’ve been using Golf Now for years. I had to cancel a tee time the same day do to the course having to close their back nine. The rainy weather the days before made it so impossible to play their back nine and for $76 there is no point in playing the front twice. The fact that I got an email for the full tee time reservation is not only outrageous but the nerve of Golf Now to say it’s the course asking to have the fee collected. I called the course and they were very frank with me and accommodating and willing to try and help. There is absolutely no purpose for GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS. They have ZERO I mean ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE! If you don’t believe me look for a contact number on GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS or website you won’t find one. This is the first time I’ve rated an app and I will continue to rate it with this same message as often as I can so other golfers don’t get screwed by a horribly run company!

GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is useful and accurate for a free gps. Basically the only thing its good at. It also has a slight stat track feature which keeps handicap. Besides these things which need improvement on their own GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS sorta blows. If you let your screen dark you must open, load and resume round everytime. Stupidest sht ever when im using a gps app which should be in use till I close it. Stat tracking is weak as well. I want to know more about my rounds, ie putt lengths, sand shots and penalty strokes. Also where i live (SE PA) there is no reason to book a tee time through GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS . You will always pay more than course rate. I have yet to find 1 tee time on GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS that beats just callin the course (hot deal excluded, usually 1-2 golfers at weird hour) Whats the point? Greedy and half of the courses around arent listed to book tee time with. I deleted GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS once after 2 rounds. Itll probably happen again. Golfnow needs to improve on things. All that money and youre names on a generic product. Like a prov1x playin like a mojo. C'mon

I love golf now and have been using it since it was introduced. I generally search a long driving distance as I want to find new courses in my area that I want to play however, it FRUSTRATES ME TO NO end when I click on a course I want to find tee times for or learn more about and if I decide I don’t want to play that course you hit back and it send me all the way back to the top of the list!!!! This is especially frustrating when I travel to places like the Phoenix metro area or living in the Bay Area and have 50+ courses to choose from. Please fix this. When you look at tee times for a course and back out keep the list where you left off. Don’t send me back to the top of the list only to scroll down through 30 courses I’ve already played or don’t have any tee times that are desirable for me. I’ve already had to look at them 10 times!!!

GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is very smooth and does everything it says with ease. Getting the VIP package takes off convenience fees when booking tee times, and will easily pay for itself over time depending on how often you play. Even with the convenience fee, the hot deals discounts save money if you have a more flexible schedule.

The one key feature that’s missing is the GPS functionality to give you distances and see the layout of the course. The only GPS function is to find the course closest to you so you can select it to keep score and track club usage on a particular course. Other apps that have a lower subscription and similar abilities have this GPS capability. I may switch back at the end of this year if it doesn’t come into being.

I found GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS 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"

by Callaway Daddy

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.

GolfNow is the premiere service for both discovering new courses to play near or far and capturing a value so you have some extra change on your pocket to play even more golf! On average GolfNow saves me $10-20 per 18 holes played, and when you play as much as I do it adds up fast. The absolute best part about GolfNow is the exclusive offers that are available for users of the service. Just recently, I was able to play Firestone Country Club North while the top 50 golfers in the world were warming up 100yds away from me on the driving range, GolfNow invited me out to participate in a "member for a day" offer that I would highly suggest others to take advantage of any time it's available.

I signed up as a VIP last October. Golfnow has saved me and my golf buddies $$$$$!!!!!

1-Tee times are incredibly easy to use and very flexible.
2-Top of the line courses are offered at amazing prices. Played Mohegan Sun for $40 several times. (Reg price $120)
3-Reward points are a bonus and enable me to play 18/w cart for less than $10 ‼️
4-Customer service is amazing
*had to cancel last minute due to raw weather, course was open so a refund was technically not allowed. I called Golfnow and they gave me coupon codes to compensate me for the cost.
*every time I call CS they address me by my first name and treat me like a VIP!!
5-I love to browse the different golf courses looking for new courses to play WITH amazing discounts.
6-I find the golf courses are getting used to the “Golfnowers” and tend to embrace us. The only complaint that I have heard is late arrivals of some Gofnowers.
7-I don’t use Golfnow GPS ... I use Swingxswing. May try Golfnow if they fix the GPS turning off during use.
8-My golf buddies love my ease of getting tee times and call me often.
9-VIP “waived fees” saved me my VIP cost and then some!!
10-Love the REVIEW YOUR ROUND EMAILS! It’s cool to read other golfer’s reviews to get insight on playing new courses. I also provide my summary after every round.

All in all Golfnow for me is absolutely awesome‼️🏌️

by Wellington Remington

Woke up today, got tired of googling “courses near me with open tee times and reasonably priced- also a single for 18 with cart”... so I just followed the link from an offered price and went straight to the source and downloaded GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS . I found an amazing deal and then went to play. Got paired up with another single and after the round I thought, huh, that dude was pretty cool, too bad I didn’t catch his info. Open up GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS to “invite friends” to a round this coming Friday. There, waiting for me, was the guy’s name and profile. Suggested friend. So, GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is pretty fantastic at scheduling, inviting, booking, saving money, and just all the BS that makes you want to wave it all off sometimes- like how I initially felt this morning. Awesome app: smart, easy to use, and very intuitive!! Can’t recommend enough.

I downloaded GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS on my iPad and iPhone and on both devices I get an unknown error when I try to create an account. I have varied emails, passwords, user names and phone number and each time I get the same unknown error message. You can’t do anything with GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS without an account so at this point it is nothing but an icon and wasted memory on my devices. Help!!
I was finally able to go online and create an account. Apparently the unknown error was a user name that was already being used and GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS didn’t understand it. Programming error.
Now my local course has been rerouted about a year ago and GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS is not up to date. Frustrating when I am on a 124 yard par 3 and GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS thinks it’s a 525 yd par 5 and the lines for the hole crosses 3 fairways. So far on 3 courses it has been worse than useless. Great concept and probably great when released but if it’s not kept up to date it’s a waste of time and battery.

by TimM14

This used to be the best golf booking app on the market by far but not anymore. The hot deals were amazing and in great numbers. When a price was showing on GolfNowBookTeeTimesGolfGPS it was the price you paid but not anymore !!! It started at 99$ then climbed to 149$ then now 199$ for a lot lot less value less good hot deals. When I asked I was told you get the free instructional video now really lol you can get those anywhere all over the web. I was also told but you get 200$ of hot deals but here is the catch Monday through Thursday (they must not know people work during the week), must be for millionaires or retirees... When you saw a price advertised it was always 18 holes with a cart but to attract you now the low price is 9 holes walking so not as straightforward. So I cancelled my automatic renewal to golfpass + after having been member for ever as I can get pretty much the same prices everywhere, the only thing they have left is the free cancel which is awesome
I told them I was not renewing they said oh ok bye !!!! Maybe they will get back one day to being great again

by Buddhitarian

I’m a VIP member thanks to a promotion they ran a few months ago and I will definitely be renewing. I’ve saved a ton of money and the deals and Reward points have allowed me to play several courses I couldn’t otherwise afford. It’s extremely convenient- I just woke up with an urge to play golf and found a tee time two miles away at a good price. And there were many more options. The couple of times that I’ve called customer service have been impressive— very friendly and they seem to bend over backward to help.
