Golfly vs ProAgenda: which suits your coaching?

What do Golfly and ProAgenda do?

Golfly and ProAgenda are both booking platforms for golf coaches in the Netherlands, but they solve different problems. ProAgenda is a calendar tool that usually comes bundled with your club. Golfly is a complete online presence: your own site, branded booking flow, direct Mollie payments, packages and more. Both have their place, depending on how you teach.

What ProAgenda does well

ProAgenda is an established system with a broad presence at Dutch golf clubs. Its strengths:

• Club integration. ProAgenda is often bundled with club systems such as TeeControl. If your club already uses it, you sometimes do not pay for it separately.
• Familiar within the club. Members who already book through their club portal find your calendar there without a new login.
• Administration within the club environment. The coach's member administration automatically follows the club's member system.
• Stable and well known. ProAgenda has been on the market for years. Coaches who work with it do not switch easily, and many clubs have built internal workflows around it.

What Golfly does well

Golfly is built from the perspective of the coach as an independent business owner, not as part of a club system. Its strengths:

• Your own site, your own domain. You get a site at yourname.golfly.nl (or your own domain) that you can link to from Instagram, WhatsApp and Google Maps. Your students do not have to go through a club portal.
• Direct payments via Mollie. Students pay by iDEAL at the moment of booking. The money goes straight to your Mollie account, Golfly never touches it. No commission per lesson.
• Products alongside single lessons. Gift cards, lesson packages and group lessons are part of the standard package, not separate tools.
• Bilingual if you want it. With the International Unlock your site runs in NL and EN, so tourists and expats can book through your site too.
• Modern interface. Mobile first, built on Nuxt and Cloudflare. Fast on a phone, also for older students.

When ProAgenda suits you better

• You mainly teach within one club, to regular members who are already in the club portal.
• You have no need for your own brand or site; the club name is your marketing.
• Your club provides ProAgenda for free and you do not want an extra fixed amount per month.

When Golfly suits you better

• You want to present your own coaching business to the outside world, separate from the club where you happen to teach as well.
• You work with non-members, tourists, expats or guest players who have no club portal login.
• You sell lesson packages, gift cards or group clinics and want that without administrative hassle.
• You want bookings and payments in one flow, without students having to pay separately.

Can you use them side by side?

Yes, and many coaches start that way. ProAgenda for your club members who already book there, Golfly for your own brand and external students. You do not have to cancel anything at the club while you test Golfly.

If you connect ProAgenda to Golfly, your ProAgenda lessons automatically block your Golfly availability, so no double bookings. If you also connect your Google Calendar, it works the other way too: Golfly puts a new booking in that calendar, ProAgenda reads it and your slot is closed. No more retyping. We never write directly into your club's system; it runs through your own Google Calendar. Without that connection you still enter a Golfly booking into ProAgenda yourself, and Golfly reminds you of that with a label.

Frequently asked questions

What does Golfly cost compared with ProAgenda?

Golfly costs €99 per month (Pro) or €129 per month (Pro with Swing Check). The first 25 coaches become Founding Coaches and pay €79 and €109 respectively, for as long as they stay. ProAgenda is usually part of your club subscription; if you take it yourself, the price varies per contract and club agreement. As a standalone tool Golfly is more expensive per month, but it also replaces your website, payment tool, package administration and gift card tool.

Can I move my existing ProAgenda calendar to Golfly?

Existing bookings are not migrated automatically. Most coaches choose a start date from which new bookings go through Golfly, and let ProAgenda run out for old appointments. After a few weeks you only work in Golfly.

Does Golfly replace my club membership?

No. Golfly is a system for your coaching business, not for your club. Your club membership, green fees and member administration carry on as they are now.

Can I try Golfly without cancelling at the club right away?

Yes. You can set up Golfly alongside your current system and use your first month under our regular trial period. If it works as you hoped, you phase out ProAgenda. If it does not, you simply cancel.
