A typical Flux setup for golf courses
A course collects everywhere at once: prepaid tee times online, green fees and range cards at the pro shop counter, food and drink at the turn window and the beverage cart on mobile point of sale, lessons booked against a stored card. Member dues bill monthly or annually, and ACH suits them well. Corporate outings and tournaments run on invoices, a deposit securing the date and the balance billed after the final headcount.
The season does the rest of the shaping. In most markets revenue concentrates from spring through fall, and with no monthly fees on qualifying card volume or minimums the winter months carry no processing overhead while the course is quiet. Card settlements land in 1-2 business days, ACH dues and outing invoices in 1-3, and QuickBooks sync keeps green fees, food and beverage, pro shop, and dues in the separate ledgers a course accountant expects.
What golf courses should watch
Weather is the refund engine no other retail business has. A prepaid foursome rained out on Saturday morning expects something, and the answer should already be written: a raincheck as store credit under a published policy, or a refund to the original card when the golfer insists. Fighting a weather refund is a dispute you will likely lose against a cardholder who can prove it poured. No-show charges on stored cards need the same disclosure at booking.
Outings are invoicing work, not card work. Corporate organizers want a deposit invoice to hold the date, net terms on the balance, and ACH as the payment method, and the final bill moves with headcount and weather. Put the raincheck-versus-refund terms for the whole event in the outing contract before anyone tees off. Inside the shop, special orders and club fittings are card-not-present charges with delivery gaps, so quote arrival windows when the card is charged.
Simple, transparent pricing
Flux charges a flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume golf courses and the option to pass the fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow. No setup fees and no contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee.
Frequently asked questions

Golf Courses accept credit and debit cards, ACH bank transfers, and stablecoins through one Flux integration, with drop-in hosted fields that keep card data off your own systems.
What does Flux charge golf courses?
A flat 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction, with volume discounts for higher-volume merchants and no setup fees or contracts. Accounts processing under $100,000 a year in card volume may be subject to a $20 monthly account fee. You can also pass the processing fee to the customer at checkout where local surcharging rules allow.
How fast do golf courses get their money?
Card payments settle in one to two business days and ACH in one to three business days. Stablecoin payments go to your wallet instantly.
Can corporate outings pay by invoice instead of a card?
Yes. The standard flow is a deposit invoice to secure the date and a balance invoice after the event, payable by ACH, which settles in 1-3 business days. Card payment remains available for organizers who prefer it.
How should we handle rainchecks on prepaid tee times?
Issue store credit under a published raincheck policy, and process a card refund when a golfer asks for one, since a refund resolves what a dispute would otherwise contest. The policy belongs on the booking page, not just in the pro shop.
Can the beverage cart and the turn window take cards out on the course?
Yes. Both run as mobile point of sale, and their charges settle alongside the pro shop's in 1-2 business days. QuickBooks sync files them under food and beverage automatically.
