Introducing Credit Card Hold: A Powerful New Feature to Reduce No-Shows

At Courserev.ai, one of our core values is simple: we listen to our customers. Over the past months, many golf courses have asked for a reliable way to reduce no-shows and ensure golfers commit to their bookings. Today, we’re excited to announce a new feature designed exactly for that need: Credit Card Hold for Booking Confirmation.

Why We Built This Feature

No-shows continue to be one of the biggest challenges for golf course operators. When a tee time goes unused, it impacts revenue, scheduling, and the overall efficiency of the day.

Courses told us they wanted a way to:

• Secure bookings

• Deter last-minute cancellations

• Apply no-show fees only when necessary

• Reduce operational headaches

So we built a solution that is simple, secure, and completely optional.

Secure Credit Card Holds Powered by Stripe

To ensure the highest level of security, Courserev.ai uses Stripe as the payment processor for this feature. When a golfer completes a booking that requires a hold, Stripe securely manages the card information and places a temporary authorization if needed.

Important details:
✔ Cards are never stored by Courserev.ai
✔ Cards are never stored by the golf course
✔ All sensitive information is securely handled and stored by Stripe
✔ Courses can choose to enable or disable the feature anytime

This gives operators a trustworthy system while ensuring golfers’ payment data stays fully protected.

A Simple Way to Reduce No-Shows

Credit Card Hold helps golf courses:

• Reduce no-shows and last-minute drop-offs

• Protect peak tee times

• Encourage responsible booking behavior

• Create accountability without adding work for staff

It’s a win-win for both golfers and operators.

Fully Optional & Easy to Activate

We know every golf course operates differently, so this feature is completely optional.
Courses can turn it on or off depending on their policies and needs.

🚀 Available Today

We’re proud to bring this highly requested feature to our customers. It’s another step toward giving golf operators smarter, more flexible tools to run their business efficiently.
