Club Systems Tee Time Management

Club Systems Tee Time Management is a pro-shop system for private and semi-private clubs that need tightly controlled member bookings alongside sales and accounting workflows. It fits operations with varied course rules, lotteries and member categories better than a simple tee-time calendar. The trade-off is a quote-based purchase with no public trial terms, so budget certainty comes later in the buying process.

Overview

Staff can build tee sheets by course, interval and event, define availability dates, restrict access by member classification and apply seasonal rules. Reservations cover member bookings, selected-date lotteries and views of past and future appointments. That combination gives clubs a way to enforce club policy while handling demand for popular times, although a small operation wanting only straightforward online reservations may find the administration broader than necessary.

Online reservation features let members book through the web, while the branded Android and iOS app presents available times on phones and tablets. The workflow extends into the pro shop: a reservation can connect to Retail POS, where staff add items and settle charges using member charge, cash, store credit, gift cards or certificates. POS transactions post to Accounts Receivable, and CHO E3 provides real-time integration with Tee Times Online.

Key features

Rules-based scheduling

Course, event, interval, date and seasonal controls make the tee sheet suitable for clubs with changing calendars and differentiated access. Member lotteries offer a structured way to allocate sought-after slots rather than relying only on first-come booking.

Member communication and access

Automatic confirmation, reminder and cancellation emails reduce routine follow-up. Buddy lists support groups that commonly play together, and guest information can be captured for marketing aimed at recruiting new members. Web statements in CHO E3 show related member charges, giving members visibility into account activity.

Reporting and operations

More than 100 reports include golf revenue and rounds played. Daily reports can be scheduled to print at close of business, which suits clubs that still depend on end-of-day paper workflows and managers who need recurring operational figures.

Support and continuity

Telephone and email support, remote diagnostics and assistance keeping the software current are part of the vendor’s service description. Under its Software for Life policy, license holders receive new module versions without repurchasing the module license. Jonas Software describes commercially reasonable safeguards for personal data but does not promise absolute security.

Pricing

The Tee Time Management plan uses paid, quote-based pricing. No public amount, seat allowance, free tier or trial period is stated, so clubs must request a quote and confirm renewal and usage terms directly. This approach can accommodate a club’s operating scope, but it makes side-by-side budgeting harder than with published subscriptions.

Platforms

Club Systems supports Android, iOS, web and Windows. The desktop system handles the core operational integration, while web and mobile access give members online booking options.

Who it's for

This is aimed at private and semi-private country clubs, a market Club Systems says includes more than 400 clubs. It is a strong candidate for pro shops that need member classifications, seasonal rules, lotteries, extensive reporting and check-in sales tied to member accounts. It is less compelling for a standalone public course seeking a low-cost booking tool or for buyers who require transparent, self-serve pricing before engaging a vendor.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Detailed tee-sheet controls: course, event, interval, date, seasonal and member-class rules support complex club policies.
• Connected check-in sales: reservations, Retail POS and Accounts Receivable can share the same transaction flow.
• Broad reporting: more than 100 reports and scheduled close-of-business printing cover recurring management needs.
• Member-facing channels: web booking, a branded mobile app, automated notices and buddy lists reduce dependence on manual booking communication.
• Version continuity: the Software for Life policy avoids repurchasing a module license for new versions.

Cons

• Custom pricing: there is no public price, trial or stated plan cap, delaying firm budget comparisons.
• Operational breadth: the rules, reporting and POS scope may exceed the needs of clubs seeking only a basic tee-time calendar.
• Security qualification: the vendor’s policy describes reasonable safeguards but does not guarantee absolute security.

Verdict

Club Systems Tee Time Management is best for established private or semi-private clubs that want one workflow from rules-based tee sheets and member reservations through check-in sales, reporting and receivables. Its main reason to choose it is that operational integration; its main reason to look elsewhere is quote-only pricing and a scope that can be excessive for simpler booking requirements.
