How Pricing Works

How Pricing Works

Pricing on Elevate Golf is designed to be realistic and fair, keeping Tips affordable for Players. The model appeals to the many; Elevate Golf applies a lower platform fee so more of each payment returns to the Coach.

Each Coach sets a Tip Rate that reflects experience, expertise, and value. Players see the price upfront before submitting a request.

Tips are kept accessible, often comparable to a coffee or a bucket of balls at the driving range. As a guideline, a Tip should cost approximately 6% to 7% of an hour’s lesson rate, since a Tip typically takes about 4 minutes (6.67% of an hour) to create. This encourages regular guidance for Players and provides a steady income stream for Coaches, without subscriptions or long-term commitments.
