ForeUP charges Utah munis
$18,000 a year. We’re $2,000.
I’m Bryce. I run GullStack, a small software company in Salt Lake. We built Cinch — a modern tee-time and member platform — because Utah’s municipal courses shouldn’t be paying $24,000 a year to a vendor that hasn’t shipped a real feature since 2014.

What you’re paying ForeUP or Membersports every year.
Most Utah munis we’ve looked at are paying ForeUP $18k–$30k per year, or Membersports $12k–$24k. Either way, that money belongs in your operating budget — not in a software vendor in another state.
Run the numbers on your actual volume.
Cinch is $249/mo flat, full stop — $2,988/yr. ForeUP’s $1,500–2,500/mo eats $18,000–30,000/yr. For most Utah munis the gap clears $15,000 a year, every year.
| Your course | Annual booking revenue | ForeUP costs | Cinch costs | Saved |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small 9-hole muni | $400k / year | $18,000 / year | $2,988 / year ($249/mo) | $15,012 |
| Mid 18-hole muni | $1.2M / year | $24,000 / year | $2,988 / year ($249/mo) | $21,012 |
| Busy public 18-hole | $2.5M / year | $30,000 / year | $2,988 / year ($249/mo) | $27,012 |
That’s money you can put toward a course-conditions upgrade, a junior program, a clubhouse renovation — or just keep on the books.
On Membersports today?
We’re cheaper at every volume.
Membersports is the cheaper alternative to ForeUP — and we’re still well under their floor. $249/mo flat ($2,988/yr) beats their lowest tier by $9k+/yr and their typical tier by $15k+/yr.
One flat number, every feature included, the AI tools they don’t ship, and no volume cliff to worry about. Bring your actual Membersports invoice on a call — we’ll quote your exact spread.
Modern golf software.
Built down the street.
Members text "move my Saturday tee time to 9am" — done. No phone calls, no pro-shop bottleneck. The killer feature ForeUP can't ship.
Set weekend prime +30%, twilight -30%. Unsold slots auto-discount at 24h / 12h / 4h windows. Most courses recover $400–$800/week of dead inventory.
Resident card-holders 14 days out, leagues 10 days, public 7. Tee sheet enforces it automatically — starter doesn't have to play gatekeeper.
We've done it. We have a canned data-export email you forward to ForeUP support. We import everything: members, tee-time history, billing. 1–3 days end to end.
Quick personal note. I’m emailing every municipal golf course in Utah because I think we can do something good for this state’s golf scene if a few of you give us a shot.
ForeUP and Membersports are both fine. But neither one is made by people who live in Utah and have to call the pro shop to move a tee time at Bonneville. Cinch is.
If you’re paying $1,500–3,000/mo for ForeUP and you’re curious, give me 15 minutes on the phone. If Cinch is a better fit, we’ll migrate your data for free and have your tenant live in 24 hours. If it’s not, no hard feelings — you’ll have a sharper sense of what the modern alternatives can do.
