UGP Tee Time Protection Model
Predictable Access For Members. Complete Control For Clubs.
How It Works
1. Participating clubs designate a limited number of reciprocal tee times to the UGP network.
2. These tee times become available for verified UGP members to search and book through the platform.
3. This creates predictable access opportunities that members can confidently rely upon when travelling.
The 7-Day Tee Time Protection Window
UGP protects clubs from losing valuable tee sheet inventory.
If a reciprocal tee time remains unbooked, it is automatically released back to the club seven days prior to play.
Once released:
-
The tee time is removed from UGP availability
-
The club regains full control
-
The inventory returns to the club tee sheet
By prioritizing member access first, clubs can confidently extend reciprocal privileges without compromising the member experience.
Full Inventory Control
Participating clubs determine:
📅 Days of availability
📅 Seasonal participation
📅 Booking restrictions
📅 Club-specific policies
📅 Number of reciprocal tee times
UGP never controls your inventory.
Your club does.
Protecting Member Access
The Tee Time Protection Model was built around a members-first philosophy.
By returning unfilled inventory to the club seven days prior to play, clubs retain flexibility to prioritize:
-
Member bookings
-
Traditional reciprocal requests
-
Member guests
-
Club competitions
-
Interclub matches
-
Club events
By returning all unused and unfilled tee times seven days before play, clubs ensure those tee times are back on the tee sheet in time to be included in member lotteries and draws, with no disruption to member access.

By combining dedicated reciprocal inventory, automated inventory protection, and modern booking technology, UGP delivers a reciprocal experience that aligns with how today's members travel while ensuring clubs maintain complete control of their most valuable asset: tee time inventory.
