Every booking made through a marketplace can carry a heavy cost. Platforms such as GetYourGuide and Viator typically charge suppliers around 20 to 30 per cent of each booking. An operator selling £50,000 a year through those channels could be paying roughly £10,000 to £15,000 in commission. That money leaves before you cover staff, course care and overheads.
Your own website gives customers another way to book. It can show tee times, memberships, societies, green fees and packages in one place. It can take payments or deposits through the booking system you already use. Most importantly, it gives you the customer relationship instead of handing it to a marketplace.
The problem
A booking worth £100 may leave you with only £70 to £80 before other costs. Across visitor rounds, golf breaks and group bookings, marketplace commission can quietly remove money your own website could help retain.
A visitor may find your club through Google, then land on a dated page, a broken link or a marketplace listing. Every extra step creates another chance to compare you with competitors or give up.
Messages often arrive without dates, player numbers, catering needs or competition plans. Your team then spends time chasing basic information before it can prepare a proper quote or confirm availability.

The result
Golfers can move from a Google search to availability, payment and confirmation through your direct booking route. You keep more control over the customer and reduce dependence on marketplace listings.
Forms collect dates, group sizes, requirements and contact details before the message reaches your team. Staff can respond with a useful price or next step instead of starting with basic questions.
The AI Receptionist answers in your business name when staff cannot. It records the caller's needs, checks urgency and texts the details, so follow-up does not depend on someone hearing the phone.
01
Your golf club website should do more than display your course. It should bring together tee time booking, membership enquiries, society packages, visitor information and payments. A clear route to book means fewer people get lost between your course pages and the booking system.
We connect the website to the booking engine you already use. Visitors can see availability, choose a time or package, and complete the next step without hunting for a separate link. While your team manages the course, the website keeps working through evenings, weekends and busy tournament days.
The result is one useful place for golfers, societies and visitors. It can also support repeat bookings because customers can return to your own website instead of searching through a marketplace again.
02
People search for golf clubs near Newcastle, Durham, Sunderland and the wider North East. They also search for visitor tee times, society days, golf lessons and courses near a hotel or holiday destination. Your website needs useful pages for those searches, not one thin page with every service mixed together.
We improve the parts of your website that help Google understand your club, course and location. We also keep your Google Business Profile useful, with accurate opening times, booking links, photos, services and regular updates. That helps people find the right information before they call or leave for another course.
For clubs outside our home patch, we build the same approach across the UK. Our base is Newcastle upon Tyne, and we work with golf businesses across the country. The aim is simple. Put your direct booking route in front of people already looking for what you offer.
More detail
The rest of what golf clubs & courses ask us, tidied away. Open what you need.
A vague contact form creates more work. A useful golf club booking website asks for the details your team needs to price and handle the request. That may include preferred dates, player numbers, handicap information, buggy needs, catering, accommodation and whether the enquiry is for a society or private round.
We build forms around the way your club operates. A society organiser can explain the group size and event date. A visitor can ask about tee times or deposits. A corporate organiser can request a package with food, meeting space and competition options. Your team receives a clearer enquiry instead of a message saying, "How much?"
The website can send each request to the right inbox and record its source. That gives you a better chance of replying quickly, quoting accurately and turning an enquiry into a confirmed booking.
Golfers compare courses before they book. They look at recent reviews, course photos, facilities, pace of play, food and how easy the booking process feels. A club with strong proof can win the booking before a cheaper or more visible marketplace gets involved.
We help you request a review after a completed visit, society day or other suitable customer interaction. The request can point happy customers towards your Google Business Profile. It can also feed useful feedback back to your team, so problems are seen before they become public complaints.
Your website then places genuine proof near the decisions that matter. Reviews can sit beside visitor information, society packages and booking links. This gives potential golfers evidence at the moment they are deciding who to call or book.
Golf clubs miss calls for ordinary reasons. The pro shop is busy, the office is closed, staff are serving visitors, or the team is dealing with weather changes. A missed call can be a lost tee time, a society enquiry or a membership lead that never comes back.
Our AI Receptionist costs £169 a month, or £199 a month with Website Care. It answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the caller's details, sorts urgency and texts your team immediately. It can capture the reason for the call, preferred date, group size and callback details.
It does not leave callers guessing whether anyone received their message. Your team gets the information by text and can respond when free. That is useful during competitions, winter opening changes, bad weather and busy weekend periods.
When your club wants more direct bookings, Google Ads can put a booking page in front of people searching for a tee time, golf break, society venue or course near a destination. We manage the campaigns and send people to pages built for that specific search.
Google Ads Management is £449 a month. It includes campaign management, bid and budget changes, ad copy testing, unwanted search filtering, landing page improvements and a monthly reporting call. Your ad spend is paid directly to Google. We never mark it up.
Booking conversion tracking shows which adverts and clicks led to real actions. That can include a completed booking, a society enquiry, a phone call or a membership request. You can then judge campaigns by useful business activity, not just visits to the website.
A new golf club website needs continued attention if it is going to keep attracting direct demand. SEO and Content costs £249 a month. It includes two useful pages or articles each month, local search work, Google Business Profile posts, listings on relevant websites, position tracking and a monthly report.
Content can answer the questions golfers ask before booking. Examples include visitor tee time rules, society day packages, winter golf, course conditions, buggy information, dress code, parking, nearby accommodation and what happens when weather affects play. Each page can guide readers towards your own booking route.
You can also add Automated Social Media for £99 a month. It plans, writes and posts to Facebook and Instagram for your approval. The Intelligent Marketing Coach costs £49 a month and turns your marketing plan into weekly tasks, so you know what to do next.
Direct Booking costs £2,495. It suits a club that needs a conversion website around its current booking system. Booking Growth costs £3,995 and is the option most operators should take. It gives more room for destination pages, booking journeys, proof, campaign landing pages and the content needed to shift demand from marketplaces.
Tourism Pro starts from £5,995. It suits operators with real inventory, several booking routes or more involved visitor journeys. Genuinely bespoke platforms are quoted separately from £10,000. Every website also needs Website Care at £59 a month. It includes hosting, security, backups, updates, monitoring, small content changes and email support.
If you want to start without the upfront cost, the no upfront option is £199 a month on a 24 month term. There is no setup fee. It includes a template site built for your trade, hosting, care and the AI Receptionist. Standard projects are 50 per cent on signature and 50 per cent at launch. Monthly billing starts at launch, with a 12 month minimum term.
The honest comparison
It is a fair question, and it deserves a straight answer rather than a sales pitch.
If you simply need a basic online presence, a low-cost website builder may be enough. Somewhere to point people who already know your name. If that is genuinely all you need, do that and spend the money elsewhere. We would rather tell you that than take a fee for something you will not use.
Our websites are designed for established businesses that want Google traffic to turn into calls, enquiries and customers. Copy, tracking, conversion setup and ongoing management are built in. That is a different product solving a different problem, and it is priced accordingly.
A £199 builder site
Fine for a basic presence. Not built to win work.
A Look North website
Built so search traffic becomes booked jobs.
Who writes the words
A £199 builder site
You do, usually at 11pm, into a blank box.
A Look North website
We do. Copywriting for every page is included, written around the jobs you actually want.
Whether it shows up on Google
A £199 builder site
It will rank for your business name. Not much else.
A Look North website
A page for every service and every town you cover, structured so each one can rank.
What happens to an enquiry
A £199 builder site
A contact form emails you. If you miss it, you miss it.
A Look North website
Quote forms written for your trade, instant SMS and email alerts, and every enquiry stored so none are lost.
When the phone rings and you are on a job
A £199 builder site
It goes to voicemail. Most callers hang up and ring the next business.
A Look North website
Our AI receptionist answers 24/7 in your business name, takes the details and texts you straight away.
Knowing what is working
A £199 builder site
A visitor counter, if that.
A Look North website
Call tracking, conversion tracking and call attribution, so you know which clicks became real jobs.
Getting reviews
A £199 builder site
You remember to ask, sometimes.

Who owns it
A £199 builder site
The platform. Stop paying and it disappears.
A Look North website
You do. The code, the domain, the hosting account and the content are yours.
Speed on a phone
A £199 builder site
Template bloat, often slow, which costs you rankings and visitors.
A Look North website
Built mobile first, because that is where almost every local search happens.
When something breaks
A £199 builder site
A help centre article and a support queue.
A Look North website
Website Care at £59 a month: monitoring, backups, updates, and a person who answers.
If the upfront cost is the blocker rather than the quality, we do a no upfront option at £199 a month on a 24 month term. That is not a builder subscription. It is a real site built for your trade, with hosting, Website Care and the AI receptionist included, live in 5 working days. The difference between that and a £199 builder site is the difference between renting a van and renting a parking space.
What the difference buys
Not features. The things that change how much work comes in.
A missed call is a customer ringing your competitor. The AI receptionist picks up 24/7, qualifies the job and texts you. Most trades win back more than the cost of the whole website in the first few months.
One page cannot rank for eight services across twelve towns. We build a page for each, so you show up for the specific job someone is searching for right now.
Not "how much for a bathroom?" but property type, scale, access, timing and photos. You quote accurately, first, without a site visit.
A review request after every job. In a year you have the review count competitors cannot catch up with, and reviews are the last thing a customer checks before calling.
Copywriting for every page is included. No blank boxes, no writing your own service descriptions at 11pm, no page that sounds like everyone else.
Call tracking and conversion tracking show which clicks turned into jobs. You stop guessing which half of the marketing worked.
The Marketing Coach turns a strategy into weekly jobs small enough to actually finish. That is why our sites are still growing a year later.
Code, domain, hosting, content and your Google Business Profile. Nothing switches off if you leave, because nothing was rented to you.
If a basic presence is all you need, a builder is the sensible choice and we will say so. If you want the phone to ring more often, that is what we build. Get a fixed price.
