Golf sim studio owner questions, answered
The questions studio owners ask on forums and in reviews, each answered with what OpenTeeSheet does, the tests that pin it, and what is not built or measured yet. Every quote links to where it was published. Updated 2026-10-24.
Will the door open for a paid booking when nobody is on site?
How a paid booking becomes a working door code at a golf simulator studio with no staff: when the code is issued, how long it works, which doors it opens, and what happens if the lock refuses it.
What happens at 11 PM if the internet or the lock company is down and a customer is standing outside?
What each smart lock does during an internet or vendor outage, which code a golfer gets when a new code cannot be created, and how fast the owner hears about it.
How do I stop no-shows and walkouts at my golf sim studio?
Operators say a card on file at booking stops walkouts. How OpenTeeSheet takes payment up front, sets a cancellation window, and charges an optional no-show fee only when the door was never used.
Took payment but won't let me book: can a golfer be charged without a booking?
Being charged without a booking is the complaint that ends trust. How OpenTeeSheet ties the charge to the booking, and refunds the cases where they come apart.
Will the booking software lock me into a contract or keep billing after I cancel?
Owners describe contracts that trap them and renewals at a higher price. How OpenTeeSheet's monthly plan, cancellation and data export work.
Is door access on the base plan, or does the price grow with every booking?
What an unstaffed studio pays: OpenTeeSheet's two flat plans, what is included in the base plan, and where card processing fees go.
Does the booking app keep my login, or always log me out?
Booking app reviews complain about lost logins and forced password changes. How the OpenTeeSheet iPhone and Android apps sign in and stay signed in, and what we have not measured yet.
Will a booking tool unlock the door and run the bays, or is it just a calendar?
What a golf simulator studio needs beyond a calendar: door codes, bay status, simulator labels, memberships. What OpenTeeSheet does, and what it does not do yet.
