OpenTeeSheet is booking and door-access software for unmanned, 24/7 golf simulator studios — bays, not tee times. It's self-serve: you set it up yourself in one sitting, and it's free to start.

Approximate figures based on GolfNow's standard commission rates. Your actual rate may differ based on your contract tier.
You cannot export the contact information of customers who booked through GolfNow. You cannot market to them, retarget them, or email them a birthday discount. That relationship belongs to GolfNow.
GolfNow's Hot Deals feature discounts your tee times to drive traffic — their traffic, not yours. Over time, customers learn to wait for the deal. Your rack rate becomes irrelevant.
Read the fine print. Many GolfNow contracts include exclusivity or priority clauses that restrict how you can list your availability elsewhere. You may be in violation if you're already on other platforms.
The Plan
It's self-serve — most venues are set up in under an hour. Here's the real sequence.
Ready to Send
Copy this, change the brackets, and send it from your own email — OpenTeeSheet doesn't send it for you.
The Legal Stuff
Most GolfNow contracts require 30 days' written notice to cancel. Send it certified mail and keep a copy. Your cancellation date starts from when they receive it, not when you write it.
If your contract included barter or complimentary tee times you've already provided, those are fulfilled. New barter obligations stop when you cancel. You're not on the hook for barter tee times after cancellation.
GolfNow technically owns the booking transaction data from their platform. However, your customer relationships — people who've walked through your door, joined your mailing list, or found you independently — are entirely yours. Start building that list now if you haven't.
We are not lawyers. This is not legal advice. Read your GolfNow contract carefully before canceling, and consult an attorney if you have specific questions about your obligations.
Set Expectations
It's a small, self-serve product. Here's exactly what you get.
Customers pick a bay and a time, pay by card if you've connected Stripe, and get a confirmation email — automatically, no staff involved.
Booking issues a PIN through your connected smart lock (igloohome, RemoteLock, Kisi, Seam or Salto KS). If provisioning fails, the customer is told to expect staff entry instead of a PIN that won't work.
Drop the booking widget into your existing website instead of sending customers to a separate page.
Set operating hours per venue — the booking calendar only offers slots you're actually open for.
What it doesn't (yet) do: import a customer list from GolfNow, give you a branded subdomain, or put a human on a call with you. If you need one of those, tell us — support@openteesheet.com.
Free to start. No credit card required to create your venue.
