LastMinuteGolfer now gives you more and more reasons to play more and more golf. As a LastMinuteGolfer member, you are automatically enrolled in our Frequent Golfer Program, and you automatically earn yardage each time you book a qualifying round of golf.  Frequent Golfer Yards are redeemed towards rounds of golf (either Red Flag Rewards rounds or Weekday Anytime Passes at hundreds of courses).  Play MORE golf this year and earn big rewards!  See below for all the details.

Racking up the Yards
Earn base yards each and every time you book a "Last Minute" , "Advance" or play in a LastMinuteGolfer event. (No yards for Red Flag Rewards rounds). After your round , yardage will automatically be deposited to your LastMinuteGolfer account. You'll also earn yards writing "credible" course reviews and rating reviews posted by other golfers! Check your account summary in the user profile area of our website. Yards earned for tee times are based on the type of tee time that you book. See the table below for details:

REDEEMING YARDS (towards Weekday Anytime Passes and Red Flag Rewards rounds)
Each time you purchase a LastMinuteGolfer Weekday Anytime Pass (good for golf and cart) or book a Red Flag Rewards tee time, you'll be given the option of redeeming some or all of your yards to get an even BETTER value. The price you pay for your golf will immediately be adjusted each time you redeem yards. Yardage that you earn locally is valid in ANY of our markets, so rack up those yards and then hit the road to enjoy great rewards as you travel! You can start redeeming yards as soon as you have a minimum of 500 yards in your frequent golfer account.

Redeeming on Weekday Anytime Pass: (the most efficient use of your yards)  Yards are redeemed at $1 for every 33.3 yards that you redeem (a rate that is 50% better than redeeming yards towards Red Flag golf- see below)  You can start redeeming yards as soon as you have a minimum of 500 yards in your account. Subject to availability and while supplies last.   Example: Regular weekday rate at the course is $50. A 4-some would run $200.  Buying a LastMinuteGolfer 4-some, you start at the Last Minute rate, getting your price to $37.50 per player (a great value already!)  Your 4-some is $150.  During purchase, we'll give you the opportunity to redeem up to 2497 yards to save you 50% off of your total ($150)... getting your $200 Weekday Anytime Pass down to $75 (a savings of $125 (62.5%!). Take this opportunity to reward yourself with a weekday round of golf at your favorite LastMinuteGolfer course... or get one as a holiday gift for one of your golf buddies!

Redeeming on Red Flag Rewards Rounds Online: Yards are redeemed at $1 for every 50 yards that you redeem.  You can start redeeming yards as soon as you have a minimum of 500 yards in your account.   Example: If the posted rate for a Red Flag Rewards tee time is $50 and you book a 4-some, you'll pay $200.  During the reservation process, we'll give you the opportunity to redeem some or all of your frequent golfer yards (up to the full amount of the tee time!).  If, as in the Weekday Anytime Pass example above, you redeem roughly 2500 yards, this saves you $50 off (2500 yards at $1 per 50 yards) of your 4-some and you'd be able to book the 4-some for $150.

PENALTIES
If you book an advance tee time on LastMinuteGolfer (more than 24 hours out and not prepaid), be SURE to show up or take the time to cancel your tee time. If you no-show for an "Advance" tee time booked on this website, you will see a deduction of THREE times the yardage you would have earned. OUCH!  You're much better off taking the time to cancel your "advance" reservation to free up the space for another golfer (there is no penalty for cancellations except "same day" cancellations through our call center. Those will result in a small yardage penalty).  Also... be sure to post good course reviews because each thumbs down rating of your course review will cost you a yard!

YARDAGE EXPIRATION
Currently, your yards do NOT expire; you can redeem yards whenever (and wherever) it's convenient for you.

YARDS ARE NOT TRANSFERABLE
Your Frequent Golfer Yards cannot be transferred to another LastMinuteGolfer. If your account is closed, your yards will be deleted from our system.
