Club Systems Tee Time Management vs Links Meridian

Club Systems Tee Time Management helps golf pro shop staff organize member bookings, course rules, lotteries, and reports. Staff can configure tee sheets by course, time interval, and event; set when bookings open; restrict availability by member classification; and apply seasonal rules. Members can reserve times, enter lotteries for selected dates, and review past or future bookings. The system can send confirmations, reminders, and cancellation notices, and supports member buddy lists. Club Systems says it includes more than 100 reports, such as golf revenue and rounds played, with daily reports schedulable for printing at close of business. Reservations connect at check-in to Retail POS, where staff can add items and settle charges using member charge, cash, store credit, or gift cards and certificates. The desktop system integrates with Tee Times Online through CHO E3; reservations can create POS tickets, and POS transactions post to Accounts Receivable. Members can book online through associated features and view related charges on CHO E3 web statements. The vendor's branded mobile app lets members find and book available times on a phone or tablet. Pricing is available by quote; no public price is listed.

Live payment options include cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and card readers, with payouts routed to the club’s own account. QuickBooks Online and Xero journal exports are listed as live; GoCardless, Sage, handicap sync, a public API, webhooks, and Zapier are roadmap items.
