Pricing Models
OpenCourt supports a wide range of pricing models so clubs can charge for court time in the way that best fits their policies and membership structure. You can combine different pricing rules — such as per-court fees, per-person fees, fixed reservation pricing, day passes, and guest fees — and apply them differently to members, non-members, and specific membership tiers.
1. Price Per Court Per Hour
This model fits clubs that want to charge for court time only, regardless of how many players show up.
Example: Whether it’s 2 players, 4 players, or a bigger group that’s happy to rotate on one court, the cost is $30 per hour for the court.
2. Price Per Person Per Hour
This model fits clubs that want to track individual usage and charge each participant separately.
Example: If the rate is $8 per person per hour, 4 players sharing a 1-hour reservation pay $32 total.
3. Price Per Person Per Day
This model fits clubs that want to offer a day-pass style option covering all eligible play within the club’s daily limits. This model is pretty flexible, so day fee can cover:
- Court reservations (either if they book a court themselves or join someone else’s reservation)
- Open Plays
- Any other events (clinics, tournaments, etc)
It’s up to the club what they want to include in a day pass.
Example 1: Day Fee is $40, and it allows to book courts up to 3 hours per day (can be multiple reservations), and they can participate in Open Play.
Example 2. Day Fee is $30, and it covers reservations - either their own or they can join someone else’s reservation / Open Game. But they have to pay separately for Open Plays or any other events.
4. Fixed Price Per Reservation
This model fits clubs that want to charge a flat fee per booking regardless of duration (within the maximum allowed reservation length).
Example: A guest pays $20 and can book a court up to 2 hours — doesn’t matter if it’s 1 hour or 2, it’s the same price.
5. New: Flexible Member/Non-Member Pricing
You can now create more dynamic pricing structures. Mix them and create rules depending on who made a reservation - a member or non-member.
Example: Non-members pay a court-per-hour rate that covers the entire court, no matter how many people they bring. Guests are included at no extra cost.
However, if a member creates a reservation or an Open Game and a non-member joins it, the non-member pays a different fee (e.g., per-person per-hour or a flat guest fee).
Booking Upsells
The Booking Upsells feature lets your club offer add-on products and services during court reservations or event sign-ups. It’s a great way to increase revenue while improving player experience — whether you’re renting paddles, selling balls, or offering food and beverage packages.
Event Waitlist
The Event Waitlist feature lets clubs manage fully booked events more smoothly by allowing players to join a waitlist when no spots are available. When a spot opens up, players on the waitlist are notified automatically — helping clubs fill events faster and reduce last-minute drop-offs. You can choose between two types of waitlists depending on how much control you want over who gets invited and when.
