The BERGSThe BERGS is born considering that there are some considerable
increases or decreases in the demand of tee times during the year, the
months, the weeks, days and also during the individual tee time slots.

- is based on historical and daily observation of the demand.
- is useful also to manage pay and pay club members
who can play according to their own tastes and budgets.
- allows maximum occupation of the game course.

Start calculating your golf course cost of last year and divide the result between all
available tee times during the year.
Assuming that the cost of your golf course (maintenance & staff, sharing cost of secretary
staff, locker rooms maintenance costs and all services included in the green fee cost) last
year was 1.200.000,00 euros
And that all available tee time are 36.000
You will have the minimum price of each green fee assuming that you will have a sold out
golf course during all the year:
1.200.000,00 / 36.000 = 33,33 euros >>> 34 euros (rounded)
MINIMUM ABSOLUTE GREEN FEE RATE = 34 euros

14. The BERGS®
- Dr Fabio BENSAJA – Golf Management – www.bensaja.com
Bensaja Revenue Golf SystemBensaja Revenue Golf System
The BERGSThe BERGS®®
If your golf course had an occupancy rate of 50% during all the year your average green
fee will be:
34 euros x (100 / 50 occupancy rate) = 68 euros
MINIMUM AVERAGE GREEN FEE RATE = 68 euros
Note that with a 68 euros you will reach only the balance budget and, if you want to earn
more, you will have to increase it with the % of whispered profit you would like to have at
the end of the year.
In this case, at the moment, I will not consider the % of increase to have profit just to
make the explaination easy.

First of all you have to take a look on all statistics about the last year.
Divide the whole cost of the golf course to the percentage of green fees sold during all
the past year.
If during the year you had for example 12.000 entries (considering green fee players +
members entries), you will have to calculate how many entries you had during each
month; you will obtain a monthly percentage.
Now we are going to manually* calculate the BERGS green fee prices for Sunday 12th
August 2012 (*The BERGS® software is available contacting www.bensaja.com)

Now, for each month, week and day of the month, you will have to calculate the occupancy
rate of every tee time hour.
You will obtain a daily rate based on the week (from monday to sunday) and an hourly rate
(starting from the first hour of tee time to the last one).

Now we are ready to calculate the average price of Sunday 12th
August Green Fee
100% : 7 days = 14,28 (fix coefficient)
average green fee rate Daily Occupancy of Sunday 12th
August
(68,00 x 16,04% ) : 14,28 = 76,38 euros
Medium Green Fee Price* of Sunday 12th
August
*with no profit inside

After calculating the hourly coefficient
100 : 8 Total of available tee times hours (in this case) = 12,5
we are ready to calculate The BERGS Green Fee for each hour
(76,38 euros x 15,75 hourly rate ) : 12,5 =

In our case we calculated The BERGS Green Fee without any profit
inside but, if we would consider it, for example +25%,
we would have:

The BERGSThe BERGS®®
Now compair The BERGS against how much the Course was
earning with Green Fees at 100 euros (fixed green fee price of last
year) during all the day:
We increased the revenue of more than 4% in one day
and we haven't finished yet!!!

22. The BERGS®
- Dr Fabio BENSAJA – Golf Management – www.bensaja.com
Bensaja Revenue Golf SystemBensaja Revenue Golf System
The BERGSThe BERGS®®
Now, considering that players are already used to spending 100
euros (one year ago) to play in that day, try to round and level the
prices of this day...
Now we increased the revenue of more than 5,5% in one day
with little increases and big decreases...
don't you think that players used to play your course last year at 100
euros will be attracted to play also in late hours seen that they would
pay less?
Don't you think that a lot of new players would come to raise your
revenue?

It's easy to understand that you will always need to take a look at what is
happening on your bookings, if they increase you'll have to raise your
prices, if they'll decrease you'll have to decrease your prices.
