How Golfkamari Uses Sweetspot to Scale with Confidence
Golfkamari operates three premium indoor simulator venues across Finland, offering flexible, unmanned bays built for both training and social rounds. With comforts like cold drinks, sofas, and streaming options, they deliver a quality-first experience for small groups and solo players.
For co-founder Robert Kivirinta, what started as a side project has quickly scaled. At the centre of that growth? A smarter platform built for golf: Sweetspot.

The Challenge
The Challenge
Golfkamari’s previous booking system was built for general scheduling – not golf. It lacked the tools to customize offers or manage simulator-specific pricing.
Not built for the sport: “The old system wasn’t really made for golf simulators. There was no way to add discount codes or package deals.”
No visibility into performance: “There was no statistics, no visibility into hours booked or cash flow over time.”
Hard to plan for growth: “We were just hoping our assumptions were right. That’s risky when you’re planning to grow.”

The Solution
Sweetspot replaced guesswork with data, and brought new tools tailored for golf simulator businesses.
Statistics as a weekly routine: “We use Sweetspot for bookings and we’re currently testing the membership function. But one crucial function is the statistics, it has become part of our weekly routine.”
Peak-hour pricing optimised: “The heat map is really valuable. We’ve used it to identify our busiest hours and adjust prices accordingly. For example, we realised Saturdays were completely booked every week. That told us we could increase the price a bit, and people would still book.” As a matter of fact, the data in Sweetspot shows that despite raising prices, Golfkamari has seen an increase in the number of bookings on Saturdays – confirming strong demand and pricing power.
Data-backed expansion: “Now, when we go to the bank, we don’t just say ‘we think this will work.’ We show actual usage and revenue numbers. That makes a big difference.”
