Good news for golfers—Sensible Weather and GolfNow are teaming up to make tee times worry-free! Announced today, this exciting partnership brings Sensible Weather’s innovative Weather Guarantee to GolfNow’s extensive network of 9,000+ courses worldwide, ensuring that unexpected rain won’t ruin a golfer's round (or budget).

What Does This Mean for Golfers?
Through this partnership, golfers booking tee times on GolfNow now have the option to add a Weather Guarantee during checkout to get up to 100% reimbursement of greens fees if adverse weather—like rain exceeding pre-set thresholds—impacts the day’s play.

Here’s how it works:

  • Golfers can add a Weather Guarantee when booking online at one of GolfNow's 9,000+ courses.
  • Sensible Weather monitors the forecast leading up to the tee time.
  • On the morning of the round, if the weather forecast predicts qualifying conditions, the golfer receives a text alert from Sensible Weather, automatically initiating a refund—no claims, cancellations, or hassle required.

Even better? Golfers still have the choice to play their round, as long as the course is open, and still get reimbursed.

“Because weather plays such a major role in a golfer’s life, the added protection we are offering through Sensible Weather can relieve any anxiety our golfers may have from weather uncertainty,” said Todd Triplett, Senior Vice President of GolfNow. “We’re all about making golf more accessible and easier to play, and this partnership helps us achieve that promise.”
