What Northstar is

Northstar is cloud-based management software for golf and private clubs, bringing activities such as tee bookings, events, lessons, and retail into one system. Members can book tee times and view 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 schedule instructors with automatic billing for lesson and activity reservations. Its tee-time lottery applies club, membership, and guest rules, with random or weighted selection. Retail tools cover inventory, order fulfillment, accounts payable invoicing, and member e-commerce with real-time inventory integration. Northstar also supports multi-club, multi-course, and multi-property organizations through centralized control. The company describes integrations with payment, marketing, accounting, golf-service, and POS systems, plus APIs for custom connections. Implementation includes planning, data preparation, configuration, migration, staff training, and go-live support. Founded in 2001, Northstar serves golf clubs, city and country clubs, HOAs, and yacht clubs. Pricing is modular and depends on modules, club size, and operational needs; contact Northstar for pricing.
