After you have selected a tee time and designated the number of players and number of holes, you will be asked to sign in:
-
Email & Password: If you have a customer account in POS with your email address and a password, you can enter your email and password here to sign in, and book tee times under your customer account.
-
Create Account: You can create an account online by clicking the “Create Account” text. You will be shown a form with information required to create your account. You will be logged into your new account as soon as you complete and submit the form.
-
Forgot Password: You can enter your email address above (in step one), and then click Forgot Password if you do not remember the password to your customer account. If POS finds your email address tied to a customer account, you will receive an email with instructions on how to reset your password.
-
Guest Checkout: If you click Guest Checkout, you will be taken to a small form that will only require your email, first name, last name, and phone number. Click register, and Online Reservations will save that information for your tee time, but will NOT create a Customer account for you. If you want to book another tee time in the future, you will need to create an account or click Guest Checkout again.
-
Return to Tee Times: Click to return to viewing tee times again. You will not be signed in.
If you were asked to sign-in after selecting a tee time, you will see a screen that verifies the tee time information. If you clicked Sign In to view this screen, you will be taken back to viewing tee times.
This is the screen you will see after you have selected a tee time, and after you have signed in:
-
Holes & Players: This should match your selection previously. If you decide that you want to change the number of holes or number of players, the pricing information on the right, and the number of players visible below should change automatically. Last chance to change your mind.
-
Riders & Caddies: (Both of these fields can be disabled if you wish). Players can select the number of players that will be riding in a cart and/or the number of caddies that they will need.
-
Player List: Enter the names of players here. Player 1 will always use the first and last name used to sign in.
-
Reserve: You must agree to the Terms & Conditions before you click to Reserve the tee time.
After you click Reserve, you will be taken to a form where you can enter your credit card information that will be charged for the tee time. The card will be charged automatically, and a deposit will be placed on the reservation in POS. The golfers still have to check in the tee time, but the payment will already be there.
Now, if you open POS and go into StarterHut, you should see the reservation appear on the day and time selected. You should see the letter “D” displayed on the reservation.
The customer paid, and the deposit is attached, but we still need to check-in the tee time.
