Start with the course URL
A generic GolfNow search result is not enough; use the course's official booking or member-login path.
Prepare a supported GolfNow Business member booking release.
For supported GolfNow Business and legacy EZLinks-style member portals, founder setup captures the booking URL, course, membership type, target window, players, and fallback rules before the first live run.
For authorized member booking portals, not tee time resale.

A course member portal is not the same as the GolfNow marketplace.
GolfNow Business can power a white-labelled booking engine or legacy member portal on a course website. The exact host and account type identify the flow that must be checked.
Identify legacy hosts
Some supported member flows retain older GolfNow or EZLinks-style domains and need an explicit host review.
Keep scope narrow
Configure one account, course, play date, player count, target window, and fallback plan for the first run.
GolfNow Business member-flow checklist
A course-branded GolfNow Business or legacy EZLinks-style member portal is different from the consumer GolfNow marketplace. The exact course host and account path identify the flow.
- 1
Capture the official course URL
Use the booking or member-login link published by the course, including its full host.
- 2
Identify the portal variant
Record whether the flow is course-branded, GolfNow Business, or a legacy EZLinks-style member portal.
- 3
Confirm member permissions
Check the account type, release rule, players, holes, and any guest restrictions before the release.
- 4
Keep the first run narrow
Use one course, account, play date, target range, and fallback plan while the portal behavior is verified.
Common checks when the flow differs
- A marketplace page opens
- Return to the course's official website and locate its member or course-branded booking link.
- The host has changed
- Request another fit check; a vendor migration can change login, inventory, and booking behavior.
- Member inventory differs
- Verify the signed-in account type and course policy instead of treating public marketplace inventory as equivalent.
Built for golfers using their own authorized course account.
This setup is deliberately narrow: one supported booking system, one course account, one target window, and a monitored first run.
Portal-specific setup
Keep the exact course booking URL and member type with the checkout setup note.
Target and fallback rules
Define the preferred window, backup windows, holes, and group size before release time.
Concierge first run
The first run is configured and watched closely so failures are visible quickly.
Common questions.
What to expect before setup, including fit, limits, and next steps.
- Can FairwayBooker help with GolfNow member tee time booking?
- FairwayBooker may help with GolfNow member tee time booking when the golfer has their own authorized course account, the course uses a supported GolfNow Business or legacy GolfNow-powered member booking flow, and the course rules fit a normal release-window booking attempt.
- How do I book a tee time through a GolfNow member booking portal?
- Use the course's official GolfNow Business booking flow and your own authorized course account. FairwayBooker can help prepare the release-window attempt on supported flows, but course rules, member permissions, and the booking portal still control what can be booked.

Start with a course-fit check before checkout.
Send the course name or booking URL first. If the course and booking flow qualify, the no-charge public compatibility test comes next. A signed link then verifies your authorized course account; checkout only follows if you choose to proceed.
