What it is
CourtBeam is a club operating system for pickleball groups and facilities managing court bookings, social sessions, events, memberships, and players. Players can check live court availability and book online through a club-owned page. Organizers can schedule one-off or recurring sessions at their club, partner venues, or hired courts. Events include capacity controls, attendee visibility, ordered waitlists, payment-aware waitlists, and refunds. Clubs can manage monthly and annual memberships with access controls, credits, refunds, and receipts. Online payments use a connected Stripe account; CourtBeam says it does not store full card numbers. It charges no per-player fee or platform transaction commission, though payment-provider fees and taxes apply. The Free plan supports up to two reservable court calendars; Club is $99 a month and Pro is $199 a month. Pro clubs can request a branded native app service for an additional $300/month, bringing the total to $499/month plus a $499 activation fee. CourtBeam is available on Android, iOS, and web.

CourtBeam in depth
Read the full write-up
Overview
CourtBeam brings court reservations, social play, events and club memberships together for pickleball groups and court facilities. It suits clubs that need more than a booking calendar, especially those collecting payments or organizing recurring play. Its free plan is a useful way to start, but calendar caps and paid-plan costs matter as operations grow.
Clubs can offer live court availability and online booking through a club-owned page, and organizers can run sessions at their own, partner or rented venues. CourtBeam supports tennis, padel and pickleball courts, as well as multi-location operations. For a wider category comparison, see Court Reservation Software.
Key features
Bookings, sessions and events
Live availability and web booking give players a direct route to reserve courts, while organizers can schedule one-off or recurring sessions. This combination is useful for clubs mixing facility reservations with social play. Event capacity controls, attendee visibility, ordered waitlists, payment-aware waitlists and refunds help organizers handle oversubscribed events without separating attendance management from payments.
The booking channel is web. Android and iOS are supported platforms, but that should not be mistaken for native player booking apps. Pro clubs can request a branded native app service, but it costs an additional $300/month and a $499 activation fee, bringing the total to $499/month.
Memberships and payments
Clubs can sell monthly or annual memberships and manage access, refunds, credits and receipts. Online payments run through a connected Stripe account, and CourtBeam says it does not store full card numbers. It charges neither per-player fees nor platform transaction commission; Stripe processing fees and taxes still apply. That fee structure is attractive for clubs collecting payments, though provider costs remain part of the budget.
Security and support
CourtBeam says it uses role-based access, authentication, logging, backups and least-privilege controls, with encryption in transit and at rest where provided by its infrastructure. Product guides are available through its help center, and support contact is listed as [email protected].
Pricing
CourtBeam is freemium, with a permanent Free plan, paid monthly plans and a 30-day trial on Club. The Free tier costs nothing and includes groups, events, RSVP and basic waitlists, but caps reservable court calendars at two. It is best for a small group testing organized play; clubs needing more booking capacity or payments will outgrow it.
Club costs $99 a month, billed monthly, with a 30-day free trial. It allows up to eight reservable court calendars and adds advance payments plus monthly and annual memberships. This is the practical fit for a club adding paid bookings or membership administration, though the calendar ceiling may constrain larger facilities.
Pro costs $199 a month, billed monthly, and raises the limit to 20 reservable calendars. It adds a custom domain, expanded reports and priority support. That makes it the stronger choice for clubs needing more capacity and a more club-branded presence. Clubs requesting a branded native app should budget the additional $300/month and $499 activation fee.
Across plans, CourtBeam charges no per-player fee or platform transaction commission; payment-provider processing fees and taxes apply separately. The available paid tiers are monthly, while Free remains free forever.
Platforms
CourtBeam supports Android, iOS and web. Booking is through the web, and the branded native app service is a separate paid option for Pro clubs. Its court support covers tennis, padel and pickleball.
Who it's for
CourtBeam is a good fit for pickleball social groups, community clubs, facilities with owned or rented courts, recurring-session organizers and clubs adding memberships or online payments. Its event and waitlist tools make it more suitable than a bare reservation calendar for groups coordinating organized play. It is less compelling for a small operation that needs only a booking page, or for a facility whose calendar needs exceed 20 even on Pro.
Pros and cons
Pros: Reservations, organized play, events and memberships share one system, helping clubs manage both court use and social programming.
Pros: No per-player charges or platform transaction commission keeps CourtBeam's own payment charges out of the fee calculation.
Pros: Payment-aware waitlists, refunds and membership access controls support clubs handling both attendance and money.
Cons: Free is limited to two reservable calendars, and Club and Pro still cap capacity at eight and 20 respectively.
Cons: Players book on the web; a branded native app requires Pro plus substantial monthly and activation charges.
Cons: Stripe processing fees and taxes remain additional costs despite the lack of a CourtBeam transaction commission.
Alternatives
PlayRez is worth considering for tournament hosting: its free plan includes tournament features and deducts a flat $1 per paid signup. Orhuk may suit clubs preferring a free plan with unlimited resources and team members, though it charges a flat 3% per transaction.
ClubSpark is another paid option, with a free trial and a Basic plan at $20 a month billed annually under a 12-month contract for 150 members. Eyes On Club offers a free Core plan with court reservations and a booking portal and app.
OpenCourt may fit clubs prioritizing unlimited courts and members, but its Growth plan is $199 a month billed annually and charges a 3% transaction fee. CourtReserve offers paid plans, including Launch with eight courts at $159 a month billed annually.
Waresport Pro Shop POS is a paid alternative with a Team plan at $69.99 a month for up to 75 athletes and POS included. Matchletic is a web-only freemium option, with a free Starter plan covering up to two listed courts and basic booking management.
Verdict
CourtBeam is the right choice for clubs that want court reservations, social programming, events and memberships in one service, with no platform transaction commission. Its free tier makes a small-scale start possible, but limited calendars, monthly paid plans and the extra cost of a branded app are reasons to look elsewhere if capacity or native mobile booking is central to the decision.
Verdict
CourtBeam combines court reservations, organized play, events, and club memberships. Its free tier is limited to two reservable calendars, while paid tiers add capacity and features.
