In their own words
Northstar
Northstar is cloud-based software for managing golf club operations in one system. Members can book tee times and see schedules through an app or website, while staff get real-time course visibility. Clubs can run online tournament registration, recurring events, and automated notifications, and arrange lessons and activities with instructor scheduling and automatic reservation billing. Its tee-time lottery applies club, membership, and guest rules, with random or weighted selection. Golf retail tools cover inventory, order fulfillment, accounts payable invoicing, and member e-commerce linked to real-time inventory. Northstar supports golf clubs and other private-club settings, including city clubs, HOAs, and yacht clubs, as well as multi-club and multi-property organizations using centralized control. It lists Android, iOS, web, and API support. Pricing is modular and depends on modules, club size, and operational needs; no amount is listed. Northstar was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia.
