Why clubs choose rungolf.club

Why independent member clubs choose rungolf.club

Half the price — for software that actually fits.

GolfManager starts at €299/month and is built for resorts, hotels, and public-facing courses with complex retail and F&B operations. If you run an independent member club, most of that feature set is noise — and you'll be paying for it regardless. rungolf.club starts at €79/month and covers everything a member club actually needs: tee sheet, competitions, member app, and payments. Nothing more, nothing less.

Built around how member clubs actually work.

rungolf.club is built around the actual workflows of a member club: a tee sheet that members and the pro shop share, competitions that open automatically at a scheduled time, waiting lists that manage themselves, and entry fees collected straight from the member's purse. No modules to configure, no contract to negotiate — it works out of the box within hours, not weeks.

Independent. No VC. No agenda.

rungolf.club is independently owned. There's no VC pressure to upsell, no parent company with competing products. What you pay is what it costs — flat, published pricing, cancel anytime.

Includes features GolfManager doesn't offer.

Winter handicap automation, member purse payments via Stripe, and a mobile-first member booking app are all included in every rungolf.club plan. These aren't add-ons — they're the core of what member clubs ask for.

Is GolfManager a better fit for your operation?

GolfManager is a well-established platform with strong reviews and a broad feature set covering POS, marketing, website builder, and more. If you're running a hotel golf facility, a large resort, or a multi-course operation with complex retail needs, it may be worth a look. For independent member clubs, it's a lot of platform you won't use — at a price that reflects it.
