Built for Irish golf clubs

Handicaps calculated by tee, every standard competition format, and winter competition handicaps, built for independent member clubs in Ireland. Flat monthly fee, no tee time extraction.
The Irish golf club context
Software that understands how Irish clubs work
Golf Ireland (GUI) & WHS
Every active member club in Ireland is affiliated to Golf Ireland (formerly the Golfing Union of Ireland) and uses the World Handicap System. rungolf.club calculates course and playing handicaps by tee using the WHS formulas, and leaves the official Handicap Index to Golf Ireland's WHS platform.
Independent member club structure
Irish golf clubs are predominantly independent member clubs — run by committees with a pro shop manager and club secretary. rungolf.club is designed for this structure: the secretary runs competitions, the pro shop manages bookings, and members self-serve from their phone.
Winter season requirements
Many Irish clubs run winter leagues and competitions from November to March as non-qualifying rounds, played off a fixed winter handicap set by the committee. Most international golf software platforms don't support this. rungolf.club handles the full cycle without touching the official index.
What to look for
What Irish clubs tell us they want from their software
Every tee time kept
Software paid for with a tee time a day isn't free. At an average Irish green fee of €35–€45, one tee time a day is worth €12,775–€16,425 a year. It doesn't appear on your accounts as a software cost, but it is one. See the maths →
Built for the phone in every member's pocket
Members book, enter and pay on their phones. Software designed for desktop browsers gives them a poor experience. rungolf.club is mobile-first, with no app to install.
Winter handicaps without the spreadsheet
Winter competition handicaps are common in Irish clubs, and too often managed in a spreadsheet every autumn and spring. rungolf.club does it in one step each way. See how it works →
Pricing they can plan around
One flat monthly fee, not per member, with no add-ons for anything you see today and no long contract. Founding clubs get their price locked for life. See how we compare →

FAQ
Frequently asked questions — Irish golf clubs
How does rungolf.club work with Golf Ireland handicaps?
rungolf.club holds each member's World Handicap System (WHS) Handicap Index and calculates course and playing handicaps by tee, using the formulas in the WHS Rules of Handicapping. The official index is managed by Golf Ireland's WHS platform, and rungolf.club never changes it.
Does rungolf.club support winter handicaps for Irish clubs?
Yes. Clubs can set a winter handicap for every member in one step, for use in non-qualifying winter competitions. The handicap secretary can adjust individual members with a recorded reason, members see their winter handicap alongside their official index, and one action switches everyone back in spring. The official WHS index is never changed.
What should an Irish club look for in golf club software?
Look at the full cost, not just the invoice: software paid for with a tee time a day is worth €11,000–€20,000 a year at typical Irish green fees. Check whether pricing is per member or split into modules, how long the contract is, and who handles setup, training and support. rungolf.club is an independent, Irish-focused option with a flat monthly fee.
How much does golf club management software cost for an Irish club?
rungolf.club charges a flat monthly fee, with winter handicaps and cashless payments included. There are no per-member fees, no add-ons for anything you see today, and no tee-time deals. Book a demo to talk through what it would cost for your club.
Which competition formats does rungolf.club support?
rungolf.club supports Stroke play, Stableford, Fourball, Foursomes, Scrambles, Rumbles, Waltz, Better Ball and Matchplay, over 9 or 18 holes. These are the standard formats used by Irish member clubs. Competition sheets open automatically at a scheduled time and entry fees are collected from the member wallet.
Can an Irish golf club switch to rungolf.club from another system?
Yes. rungolf.club handles the full switch: we import your member list, configure your tee sheet, and provide a staff training session. Most Irish clubs are live within two weeks. There are no setup fees, and you can cancel at any time.
Where is rungolf.club data stored?
In the EU. Club and member data is held in a database in Ireland, and the application runs on servers in the Netherlands. Card payments are handled by Stripe, and rungolf.club never stores card numbers.
Is there a free trial for Irish golf clubs?
Yes. rungolf.club offers a free 3-month pilot — no credit card required. We set up a live account with your club's data so you can see the software working for your specific setup before committing.
