Golf simulator businesses are always looking for new ways to drive revenue, attract repeat customers, and offer flexible booking options. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Birrdi Punch Cards—a powerful new feature designed to help simulator locations sell pre-paid play time in a way that’s easy to manage and profitable.
If you’re running an indoor golf facility, here’s why Birrdi Punch Cards should be part of your business strategy and how they can help you increase sales, retain customers, and create more booking flexibility.
What Are Birrdi Punch Cards?
Birrdi Punch Cards work just like a traditional punch card but in a digital, automated format. Instead of paying per visit or booking an unlimited membership, customers can purchase a set number of prepaid simulator sessions and use them at their convenience.
For example, you can offer:
• 5-Hour Punch Card – 5 prepaid hours of simulator time
• 10-Hour Punch Card – 10 prepaid hours at a discounted rate
• Weekday Punch Card – Play during off-peak hours only
• Lesson Punch Card – Prepaid lessons with a golf coach
With Birrdi Punch Cards, your customers can easily redeem their hours, and you don’t have to track punches manually—it’s all seamlessly managed in your Birrdi software.
Why Your Golf Simulator Should Offer Punch Cards
1. Attract More Customers with Flexible Play Options
Not everyone wants a monthly membership or wants to commit to pay-per-play every visit. Punch cards give golfers a middle ground—they get a better deal on simulator time while maintaining flexibility on when they use it.
2. Increase Upfront Revenue
When customers buy a punch card package, they prepay for multiple sessions. This means instant revenue for your business, helping with cash flow and reducing the reliance on last-minute bookings.
3. Reduce No-Shows and Last-Minute Cancellations
Because customers have already paid for their time, they are more likely to show up and use their simulator hours. This means fewer no-shows and a more consistent, predictable booking schedule.
4. Fill Off-Peak Hours with Custom Punch Cards
Want to drive more traffic during slow times? Create a special punch card that only allows play Monday-Thursday or during specific hours. This helps balance simulator usage and keeps bays full even when demand is lower.
5. Easy Gifting and Promotions
Punch cards make great gifts for golfers! You can also use them for promotions—for example, “Buy a 10-hour Punch Card and Get 1 Extra Hour Free!” This drives sales while encouraging customers to book more time.
6. No More Manual Tracking—Birrdi Automates It All
Unlike paper punch cards, Birrdi Punch Cards are automatically tracked in your system. When a customer books a session, the software deducts their punches—no need for staff to manage or validate them manually.
How to Use Birrdi Punch Cards in Your Golf Simulator Business
1. Set Up Custom Punch Card Packages

• Create special-use cards (e.g., weekday-only, lesson-specific, or VIP punch cards).
• Price them at a discount compared to standard hourly rates to encourage bulk purchases.
2. Promote Punch Cards to Your Customers
• Announce them via email, social media, and in-store signage.
• Encourage regular customers to switch from pay-per-play to punch cards for savings.
• Use them as gifts, loyalty rewards, or prizes for events and leagues.
3. Track Usage and Optimize Your Offerings
