What Court Owners Should Show on a Public Booking Page

Show players enough real information to choose, book, pay the owner directly, and arrive at the right court.

Short answer

A court booking page should show the real venue, court name, sport, photos, location, schedule, price, rules, payment instructions, and booking action. Players need enough detail to choose safely, pay the owner directly when required, and arrive at the right place.

Show the real court

Use real photos and clear names for each active court. If a venue has several courts, each active court should be reachable where players expect it. Inactive courts should not appear as bookable.

Explain the price and schedule

Players should see the court price, normal hours, blocked time, and available slots before they reserve. If the venue has different rates or rules, the page should explain the part that affects the booking decision.

Make payment instructions clear

CourtGo records payment instructions and proof, but player money goes directly to the court owner. The page should say how to pay, when proof is needed, and what happens if the owner must review it.

Add rules players need before arrival

House rules, cancellation windows, gear reminders, parking notes, and arrival instructions help players avoid mistakes. Keep this short and practical so the page helps without turning into a long policy document.

Keep inactive courts hidden

A public booking page should not make a closed, draft, or unapproved court look available. If a court is temporarily unavailable, hide it from booking or clearly explain what the player should do next.
