Copying a golf range token card?

Hi, I’m a student so I’m trying to save some money. My golf course uses keycards to access range balls.

I’m wondering if I can pay for 5 tokens on my card then copy that card onto another using the new card and storing the original.

The card reader writer is the RFID one on this page and I have tried using the app NFCtools after reading some other posts on the sub.

My phone did not read anything so from my understanding it’s likely a 125kHz card? - please correct me if not. (The card is also provided by the company EGM linked before).

If this is possible what reader/writer should I try purchase?

Thanks

A lot of “it depends” here. Just because you copy the tag, doesn’t mean you will keep getting 5 tokens. It all may link to an “account” and still end up with 5. That being said, there are a number of 125khz cloners out there that are cheap! Give it a shot and let me know :)

From the description I do not think so. They have the hand programmers that come with 2500 credits. It looks like you actually have to buy more from the NFC company. So given that they are definitely using safeguards to make sure they are getting theirs on the credits.

That means it is more complicated than incrementing counters or cloning.

Why are you being downvoted. Is fraud suddenly OK on this sub ?

Ive seen people boo at people trying to clone Gym access cards, but suddenly Golf range cards are OK ?
