  • Or $0/mo: pass $1.50/booking through to the golfer (TeeOff-style)
  • AI moves, cancels, and re-books tee times in chat — no phone call

Welcome to Bear Creek. I can find tee times, move existing bookings, surface last-minute deals, and edit your foursome. Try one of these:
In the real product, members type freely — this demo plays canned prompts so you can see the flow.
What we hear

The complaints we keep getting.
And what we do about them.

"To move my Saturday tee time I have to cancel, lose my spot, and rebook. By then the slot is gone."
Tell the AI "move me to 9:24 instead of 9:08." It locks the new slot before releasing the old one. You never lose your foursome's place.
"Adding a 4th player after I book is impossible in the app. I have to call the pro shop during business hours."
Chat: "Add Jim Park to my Saturday group." The AI adds the player, charges his green fee, and texts him the confirmation. No phone call.
"ForeUP is $2,400 a month for tee sheet + POS + email. Then $200 more for the consumer app upgrade."
Cinch is $249/mo flat — entire platform, member app, AI concierge, white-label, everything. Or $0/mo if you'd rather charge golfers a $1.50 booking fee. Stripe Connect routes green fees straight to your bank.
"Membersports' app is slow to load and crashes when the tee sheet is busy on Friday at 4pm."
Built on the same modern stack Vercel runs on. Booking flow loads in under 500ms. Auto-scales on Friday-afternoon rushes without us doing anything.
"Dynamic pricing in ForeUP is buried four menus deep. We never use it, leave money on the table."
Peak rules sit on the tee sheet itself — drag, set the multiplier, save. Last-minute discounts on unsold slots run automatically (10% within 24h, 25% within 12, 40% within 4). Most operators recover $400–800/week of dead inventory.
"No-shows on weekend mornings cost us $1,200 a Saturday. Members shrug."
Cancellation policy enforced automatically. 24hr window triggers a card hold; no-show charges with a one-tap dispute path. Members feel it once, never again.
Side-by-side

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. Cinch takes zero per transaction on the $249/mo flat plan — green fees, cart fees, lesson packages, pro shop POS, F&B all run through one Stripe relationship at standard Stripe rates. Or run the OpenTable-style pass-through plan and the golfer covers a $1.50 booking fee directly.

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.

Unit economics

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.

How Cinch makes money
$249/mo flat. Or pass $1.50/booking through to the golfer.

Cinch Standard is $249/mo, every feature in, period. For public + muni courses that prefer the TeeOff model, the alternate plan is $0/mo with a $1.50 "online booking fee" shown clearly to the golfer at checkout — less than half what TeeOff/GolfNow charge. Either way, ForeUP at $1,500–3,000/mo is still 6–12× the cost.

Standard plan — Saturday foursome with cart
You pay Cinch nothing per booking. Golfer pays $320.
Member pays $320.00You receive $320.00Cinch fee Included in $249/mo
Pass-through plan — same Saturday foursome
Golfer sees a $1.50 online booking fee at checkout
Member pays $321.50You receive $320.00Cinch fee $1.50 (golfer)
Pass-through plan — Member-Guest tournament, 80 players
20 bookings × $1.50 (single payer per group)
Member pays $7,600.00You receive $7,600.00Cinch fee $30.00 (golfers)
Money flows directly into your Stripe account. We never touch your operating cash. The pass-through plan is the OpenTable / TeeOff playbook — golfers are already used to a convenience fee, and ours is the smallest in the category. Private/member clubs should stay on Standard.
Side-by-side

ForeUP charges $2,400 a month for a worse booking flow.

Apples-to-apples on starting price + what you actually get for it.

VendorStarts atWhat you hear
Cinch$249/mo flatEvery feature included — AI concierge, family memberships, a real member app, dynamic pricing, white-label. One number. Founding 10 customers lock $99/mo for 12 months.
ForeUP$1,500–3,000/moIndustry 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/moMore modern UI than ForeUP but slow under load, brittle mobile app, complex config. Members complain about the booking flow weekly.
Club Caddie$300–800/moNewer entrant, cheaper, but limited dynamic pricing + no AI. Mostly used by 9-hole municipals.
Lightspeed Golf$600–1,500/moSolid POS + tee sheet, but the consumer-facing experience is generic Lightspeed-branded.
Jonas Club Software$1,500–5,000/moUsed by private country clubs. Powerful but feels like enterprise software from 2008. Famously hard to admin.
