2024 Dynamic Pricing Update

Thumper Pond has made an innovative move to implement dynamic pricing. This buying experience ensures that golfers can look at tee times in real-time and then pick the tee time, price, and date that best suits their needs. There are multiple pricing options every day to choose from.

Dynamic pricing is a value pricing model in which costs for a product or service fluctuate in real-time based on supply and demand. If you’ve ever shopped for an airline ticket or a hotel room online, you’re familiar with the concept.

 

Book Online: The best price will always be by booking online or by downloading our app on the Apple or Google store.

Call the Golf Shop: We’ll provide you the best rate available.

Be Flexible: If you’re a golfer who has some flexibility in your schedule, there can be some great deals for you if you choose to play on days that demand is low.
