Google Ads that fill tee sheets, not just clicks.
We run Google and Meta ads for golf clubs, driving ranges, golf schools and tour operators. Campaigns built around how golfers actually book: by season, by drive time, and by whether they are chasing a round, a lesson or a trip.
Golf doesn't behave like other industries.
Weather, seasons, memberships and travel radius all change how a campaign should be built. Generic account structures ignore every one of them.
Tee Sheet Demand
Campaigns split by what someone is actually booking: a casual round, a group, a lesson or a membership enquiry. Each one deserves its own message and its own bid.
Midweek and Off-Peak
Weekends usually sell themselves. The money is in filling Tuesday mornings, so we run offer-led campaigns scheduled against your genuinely quiet windows.
Drive-Time Targeting
Golfers travel further than most businesses assume. We target the radius people will genuinely cross for your course, not an arbitrary postcode list.
Seasonality Planning
Budget planned against your real demand curve. Peak season carries efficiency, shoulder season is where growth hides, and quiet months get worked rather than written off.
Corporate and Group Days
The highest value booking on most tee sheets, and the one most clubs never advertise for. Long sales cycle, different keywords, worth its own campaign.
Booking System Tracking
Conversions wired back from your booking platform so you can see which campaigns produced real rounds, not just form fills. This gets checked before anything else.
Four different golf businesses.
Golf Clubs
Rounds, memberships and corporate days. Filling the tee sheet across the whole week, not just Saturday.
Driving Ranges and Mini Golf
High-volume, low-consideration bookings. Families and casual players who decide fast and book close to the day.
Golf Schools and Coaching
Program intakes with real lead times. Demand has to be built ahead of the calendar, then nurtured until it books.
Golf Tour Operators
High-value interstate and international trips. Long consideration windows where the first touch is rarely the booking.
Two platforms, two jobs.
Golfers rarely book the first time they see you. Google catches the ones already looking. Meta creates the ones who weren't. Run separately they compete; run together they compound.
Capture existing demand
Someone searching "golf lessons near me" or "driving range Brisbane" has already decided. Google's job is to be there, be relevant and send them to a page that closes.
Create demand that isn't searching
Nobody googles a golf trip they haven't thought of yet. Meta puts the course, the coach and the experience in front of golfers before they start looking, then brings back everyone who didn't book.
Before you ask.
How much should a golf club spend on Google Ads?
It depends on your catchment and what you're selling. A single-course club filling midweek rounds usually needs far less than a golf school selling multi-day programs interstate. We start from your booking value and target volume, then work backwards to a budget, rather than picking a number first.
Does Google Ads work for clubs outside major cities?
Often better. Regional clubs face less competition on cost per click, and golfers routinely travel for a round. The key is targeting the drive-time radius people will actually cross, not just your postcode.
How do you handle golf's seasonality?
We plan budget around your real demand curve rather than spending evenly all year. Peak season carries efficiency, shoulder season is usually where the growth is, and quiet periods get offer-led campaigns aimed at midweek and off-peak slots.
Can you track bookings from our booking system?
Yes. Most golf booking platforms can pass a conversion back to Google Ads, though the setup varies by provider. Tracking is the first thing we check, because campaign decisions are only as good as the data underneath them.
We partner with founders and marketing leaders to build profitable, scalable customer acquisition systems.
