Choosing by Club Type

Small Clubs (under 300 members)

Recommend: Strokon or Teesnap

Don't overpay for enterprise features you won't use. Focus on ease of use and value.

Medium Clubs (300-800 members)

Recommend: Strokon, ClubEG, or Golf Genius (if tournament-heavy)

Full features matter. Consider whether all-in-one or specialist approach fits better.

Large Private Clubs (800+ members)

Recommend: Strokon, Jonas, or Golf Genius

Enterprise support, customization, and integration capabilities become important.

Public/Resort Courses

Recommend: ForeUp, Chronogolf, or EZLinks

Tee time revenue optimization and marketplace distribution matter more than member management.
