Ronan Freeman is the founder of Golf Club Hire Costa Brava, a golf club rental business on the northeast coast of Spain. The Costa Brava has some great golf courses, and every year plenty of holidaymakers want to play them. But traveling with a full set of clubs is a hassle, and nobody in the area was offering an alternative. So in May 2026, Ronan started one. “As of today, we are the only company renting clubs in the Costa Brava,” he says.
His customers are men and women on holiday who want to play a few rounds without packing their own bags. They book online, and Ronan delivers the clubs to an agreed spot, whether that’s the airport, their hotel, or the golf course, then collects them afterward. He runs everything himself.
Before launch, Ronan needed a secure platform that could handle everything a golf club rental business needs, from inventory counts to pricing and stock availability. He chose Booqable as his rental back office and used Booqable’s website builder to create his rental website from scratch. With inventory management automated in the background, he could focus on getting the business off the ground.
Building a rental website with zero experience
Ronan had never built a website before, and he was launching a brand new business at the same time. He needed a site that looked professional and let customers book clubs online, without hiring a developer.
Here’s how it works. Booqable’s website builder starts with a template that already includes the pages a rental business needs, like a homepage, collection pages, and an online checkout. You connect your own custom domain, drag and drop sections into place, and customize the theme with your own colors and fonts. Products and prices pull straight from the back office, so the store is ready to take bookings once it’s published.
“The website development was brilliant,” Ronan says. “Coming from someone with no experience in creating a website and launching such a business, the easy step by step setup as well as the help from either the AI chat or the real people in the background really helped make it easy.”
What it achieves for Golf Club Hire Costa Brava:
-
A professional golf club rental website built from scratch, without a developer
-
Online bookings available around the clock for holidaymakers planning ahead
-
Help from Booqable’s AI chat and support team whenever he got stuck
Ronan went from zero web experience to a live booking site in time for his first season. And the feedback from customers about the website has been positive across the board.
Keeping track of every set of clubs
As a one-person golf club rental operation, Ronan can’t afford to lose track of which sets are out, which are back, and which are free next week. A double booking would mean a golfer landing at the airport with no clubs waiting.
Booqable’s back office handles this automatically. Every set of clubs is tracked in the inventory, and availability updates in real time as orders come in. When a customer books online, the clubs are reserved for those dates, so they can’t be booked twice. All orders sit in one place, with rental periods, pricing, and delivery details ready to check before Ronan heads out.
“The stock and inventory monitoring is great and allows you to block out periods if necessary for maintenance or if you are on holidays,” Ronan says. He also finds the back office “so easy to use” day to day.
What it achieves for Golf Club Hire Costa Brava:
-
Real-time stock availability, so customers only book clubs that are free
-
Dates blocked out for club maintenance or Ronan’s own time off
-
Every order and delivery detail in one place
Ronan doesn’t need a spreadsheet to remember who has which clubs. He can trust the system and spend his time on deliveries and customers instead.
Bringing golf club rentals to Costa Brava
Booqable has been part of Golf Club Hire Costa Brava from day one, and Ronan is happy with the choice. “It’s the first site that we have used. I can’t imagine how we could do any better with another provider,” he says.
In just a few months, Ronan has launched the only golf club rental service on the Costa Brava, built his own booking website with no prior experience, and set up a back office that keeps his inventory in check. Next, he hopes to become the most recognized golf club hire provider in the region, and maybe further afield.
