What does successful yield management produce?

• A. Maximization of Revenues
• B. Increased Customer Satisfaction
• C. Lower Costs
• D. Improved Employee Morale

Answer: (A)

Yield management is about maximizing revenue by adjusting pricing and inventory based on demand. It treats the golf course’s limited capacity—tee times, lessons, packages—as a resource to be allocated to those willing to pay the most at any given time. By forecasting demand, segmenting customers, and price-discriminating (charging higher prices for peak times and lower prices for off-peak periods or bundled packages), you capture more revenue from the same amount of capacity. While better pricing and availability can improve satisfaction or utilization, the primary aim is to squeeze the most revenue from the course’s fixed inventory.
