You can now schedule screen modes for your Toptracer bays — giving you full control over when screens are locked or unlocked throughout the week.
Previously, each bay's screen mode was a simple toggle: either Locked or Unlocked, applied at all times. This made it difficult for clubs that wanted different behavior at different times of day — for example, unlocked screens for walk-in play during the morning, and locked screens requiring bookings during busy evening hours.
With this update, the screen mode setting now has three options: Unlocked, Locked, and Schedule. When Schedule is selected, you can define weekly time windows where screens switch between locked and unlocked — enabling hybrid range operations without manual intervention.
📍 Where to find it:
Settings → Driving Range → Bays → Select a bay → Screen mode setting
What's Changed
- Three screen mode options — Unlocked, Locked, and Schedule replace the old Locked/Unlocked toggle
- Weekly schedule configuration — Define locked time periods per day of the week, with bays defaulting to unlocked outside those windows
- Bulk editing support — Apply the same screen mode and schedule across multiple bays at once
- Smart session handling — Active booking sessions complete before a schedule mode change takes effect; walk-in sessions follow the configured timeout setting
Why It Matters
Sweetspot already offers the most flexible integration between a booking system and ball-tracking technology available — including per-bay control over locked and unlocked modes. This update takes that flexibility further by adding a time dimension to each bay's configuration.
Demand at golf venues isn't uniform across the day or week. Peak evening hours might warrant bookings-only access, while quiet weekday mornings are better left open for walk-ins. Previously, a bay was locked or unlocked at all times — meaning venues had to either commit to bookings fully for a given bay, or leave it open. Now they can do both, just at different times.
This is particularly valuable for venues that are newer to bookings and want to ease in gradually: start by locking high-demand windows, see the benefits — fuller bays, predictable revenue, less walk-up uncertainty — and expand from there as confidence grows. Set the schedule once and the system handles the transitions automatically, with no manual intervention needed.
