Why clubs are moving on
Why clubs are moving away from ClubV1
PE-owned
ClubV1 is part of ClearCourse, a PE-backed software group. Pricing decisions are made by investors, not club operators.
Legacy UI
The interface was designed for desktop browsers a decade ago. Members on mobile get a degraded experience.
Opaque pricing
Most clubs can't get a price without a sales call. rungolf.club publishes flat monthly pricing with no surprises.
rungolf.club is founder-owned and will remain that way. We don't answer to investors or a consolidator's growth targets — we answer to the clubs that use our software. See rungolf.club pricing →
