And what we do about them.
Membersports says “no.”
Cinch says “here’s what we’ve got.”

Features your operators care about.
The things we shipped specifically because golf courses told us they were missing.
A full member self-service portal
Members get their own portal under YOUR course's brand — upcoming reservations + invitations, waitlists, weather rainchecks, prepaid credits & round passes, gift-card balances, payment history, and saved cards. Booking is a player-search party builder with a live order summary and a hold timer. Click “See the live golf member portal” above to walk it yourself.
AI tee-time editor
Not just an FAQ chatbot — a tool-using assistant that can MOVE a tee time, ADD or REMOVE players, switch walking/cart, change holes (18 → 9), and cancel — all with conversational confirmation. Beats every other golf software where editing means starting over.
Member booking windows
Members book 7 days out. Premium members 10 days out. Public 3 days out. Configured per tier with one slider. The tee sheet enforces it automatically — your starter doesn't have to play gatekeeper.
Peak pricing rules
Weekend prime +30%. Weekday prime +15%. Twilight -30%. Rules sit on the tee sheet itself — drag a window, set the multiplier, save. Rules compose, so weekend AND prime can stack. Pricing visible to members as they book — no surprises at the counter.
Auto last-minute deals
Empty 4pm slot tomorrow? Cinch automatically discounts it 10% within 24 hours, 25% within 12, 40% within 4. The same yield-management playbook airlines and hotels run — built into the tee sheet so you stop leaving Sunday-evening revenue on the table. Members ask the AI "any deals tonight?" and book in three taps.
Foursome editing without phone calls
Group members can each be invited by phone or email. Each one sees the tee time in their own member app, settles their own green fee, gets their own check-in QR. The lead golfer can add or remove players up to the cancellation window.
Walking, cart, 9 vs 18
Captured on every booking. Cart fleet rotation, walker pace-of-play, 9-vs-18 capacity all model first-class. Your starter sees who's walking before they get to the first tee.
Weather + pace-of-play push
Rain delay? Push to every player in the next 4 hours of tee times — auto-offer rebook or refund. Pace of play running long? Push the trailing groups with the live wait time, set expectations before they get to the turn.
Stripe Connect for green fees + pro shop
Money flows directly to your bank account. We take a 0.5% application fee on each charge — half of what ForeUP marks up on payments. Green fees, cart fees, lesson packages, pro shop POS, F&B — one Stripe relationship.
Lessons + tournament management
Lesson booking with your teaching pros — same booking flow as tee times. Tournament brackets, shotgun starts, sponsorships, scoring — built in. No more spreadsheets for the Member-Guest.
Why we’re a tenth of the price
of the incumbents.
Cinch’s monthly base is the floor. We make most of our money on a small percentage of bookings — which means we’re only winning when you’re winning.
Pay-as-you-go is $0/mo + 0.5% per transaction. All-Inclusive is $199/mo flat with zero transaction fees. ForeUP charges you $1,500–3,000/mo whether your tee sheet is full or empty. We don't.
ForeUP charges $2,400 a month for a worse booking flow.
Apples-to-apples on starting price + what you actually get for it.
| Vendor | Starts at | What you hear |
|---|---|---|
| Cinch | $0/mo + 0.5% | AI concierge, family memberships, modern app — pay-as-you-go or $199/mo flat. Either way, way under the incumbents. |
| ForeUP | $1,500–3,000/mo | Industry standard but feels like enterprise software from 2014. Member app is an afterthought. Editing a tee time after booking is broken. Owned by a roll-up, support response is slow. |
| Membersports | $1,000–2,000/mo | More modern UI than ForeUP but slow under load, brittle mobile app, complex config. Members complain about the booking flow weekly. |
| Club Caddie | $300–800/mo | Newer entrant, cheaper, but limited dynamic pricing + no AI. Mostly used by 9-hole municipals. |
| Lightspeed Golf | $600–1,500/mo | Solid POS + tee sheet, but the consumer-facing experience is generic Lightspeed-branded. |
| Jonas Club Software | $1,500–5,000/mo | Used by private country clubs. Powerful but feels like enterprise software from 2008. Famously hard to admin. |
Same pricing.
