Transform your golf clubs' management and communications
Any club manager or secretary will tell you that every golf club is different, and with over 200 to look after, we’d agree. Over the years, our customers have told us what they want, what they’d like, and helped us develop all sorts of new features to make their jobs easier and more efficient.
Is your clubhouse software:
Designed to make money?
The core of our software offering is the EPoS system, developed to help our customers make more money. Using card based accounts will increase sales, differential pricing between members and visitors improves margins, and discounts for bigger spenders retains valuable members. Our stock system helps you see slow movers, and our lottery system automates an additional income stream.
Mobile ready?
Our app gives your members all the information they want in two taps: card account balances and sales receipts, online top ups to their accounts, latest club news, other members’ contact details, latest competition entry and results, latest handicap and certificate, functions diary.
Supported by experts?
We know that once you’ve bought software, it’s the support that counts. All anyone wants when they need support is to pick up the phone and speak with someone who can fix their problem. Our customers talk openly to their peers about our support being the best they’ve experienced.
Providing great value?
While our system and its support is reasonably priced, it is unmatched for reliability and richness of features, along with class leading service standards.
Ensuring your data security?
Clubs’ members’ accounts have been hacked into because of their providers’ lax approach to security. All your members’ data is held on your club’s server, not in ‘the cloud’, while our web and mobile services are hosted on servers to ensure a high level of security. 2018 sees a host of new data protection legislation, so we are ensuring all our systems are designed to make it easy for you to be compliant.
Giving you everything you want?
Our customers know what they want from software, and they tell us. We listen, prioritise and develop new features and better ways of doing things. That is why our EPoS system ran Flexible Membership or points based schemes way before our rivals.
Keeping you ahead of fast moving technology?
95% of the UK population use smartphones or tablets now. We saw this coming, which is why we developed a club members’ app with more features and data retrieval capabilities than any of our rivals. Our customers prefer a provider that they can rely on to keep them ahead of the game.

The points system may be used in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, the percentage based member discounts. Why not give members a flexible membership option that offers points to spend on green fees, room hire or bookings?

" Its additional detail such as the receipts feature is certainly reducing both calls to the office and the time it takes for us to give them the details they're after. The app lets them do that themselves and lets us get on with all the other things we're trying to do."
" To date, we’ve not seen anything that matches this capability, and that’s got a lot to do with why we’ve kept OS for over 12 years. The simple fact is that everything works, is stable, and does what we want it to."
