The rink diary shouldn't be the hard part
Paper diaries in the clubhouse and desktop-style calendars squeezed onto a phone screen make booking a rink harder than it needs to be, especially when a competitive match needs two rinks across three possible dates.
Green Rinks was built for a phone first, so members book in seconds and admins set up a whole season in one go.

FAQs
Green Rinks questions
What are the benefits of Green Rinks compared to other rink booking solutions?
Green Rinks is built mobile-first from the ground up, so booking a rink takes just seconds on a phone. Members can book multiple dates and slots at the same time, which makes it easy to reserve slots for competitions where 2 or 3 timeslots and 2 rinks need to be offered to opponents. The My Bookings tab shows everything you've booked in one place. If your club also runs leagues or away fixtures, the optional Gold plan adds match nomination and team selection, so captains can build their team straight from the app.
What happens if our club grows beyond 250 members?
Just get in touch and we'll agree a fair price for your club's size rather than cutting you off.
Do we need technical knowledge to set it up?
No. Setting up your club is straightforward, and we're on hand by email if you'd like a steer while you get going.
How long are the booking slots?
Slots are one hour, so your green stays fully bookable in flexible chunks, but members can book several consecutive hours in a single action when they need a longer game.
Can only club members see our diary?
Yes. Only registered, approved members can see or book your club's diary.
Still unsure? Send us a message and a real person will reply.
