Empower your member via our Member Booking App
“After decades of using paper and pencil to manage our tee sheet, we adopted Whoosh. We have an ‘open play’ culture and keeping track of who is playing when and managing the overall pace of play can be challenging. Whoosh has allowed us the flexibility to manage our tee sheet and waitlist from almost anywhere.”
Bill Pollert
Director of Golf & Instruction at Highland G&CC
Handle the most complex course restrictions
Restrictions auto-populate during the booking process to ensure both staff and members are abiding by your member and guest policies.
Remove the awkward conversation
Our guest management flow enables members to specify who will be paying during the booking process (member or guest), meaning your staff no longer has to be the middleman.
“Whoosh has been instrumental in helping us establish a functional, flexible member booking process and ensuring effective operations with our daily play.”

Key Features

Advanced Insights
Our industry-leading reporting and Business Intelligence tools take the guesswork out of your operations and enable you to make data-driven decisions. Export graphs with a few clicks, create an automated reporting cadence and share reports directly with your team or board.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Whoosh and how does it improve private golf operations?
Whoosh software streamlines everything from tee time bookings to member communications, course restrictions, tournament management, and staff operations. Modern platforms consolidate what used to require multiple systems—spreadsheets, separate booking apps, manual billing—into one tablet-optimized platform. For private clubs, the best software saves staff 20+ hours per week by automating routine tasks, improving the member booking experience, and providing real-time reporting on course utilization and member activity.
What types of private golf clubs can benefit from Whoosh’s modern tee sheet and booking software?
All private golf clubs benefit, but especially those managing complex workflows: clubs with no-tee-time (waitlist) operations, high-volume member bookings, multi-course properties, or frequent tournaments. Clubs with 200+ members, limited course capacity, or multiple amenities (lessons, events, simulators) see the fastest ROI by reducing staff burden and improving member satisfaction.
What does the Whoosh onboarding and staff training process look like?
Whoosh is built by golf industry veterans and designed for rapid deployment. We handle data migration from your existing system, provide tablet-based training for your staff, and stay available throughout launch to ensure a smooth transition. Most facilities go live within two to four weeks.
Can I try Whoosh before committing to a full implementation?
Yes. Whoosh offers a risk-free trial so you can test the platform with real members and staff workflows. Our team works with you during the trial to ensure you see the full value of the system before making a long-term commitment.
How does Whoosh compare to other private club management software?
Whoosh is built on a modern cloud platform and tablet-first architecture, while legacy competitors like Jonas and ClubEssential run on older technology stacks 20+ years outdated. Whoosh includes a native tee time lottery with configurable weighted requests and an automated waitlist — a capability most incumbents either don't offer or require vendor configuration to adjust. Whoosh also integrates bi-directionally with best-in-class tools including Golf Genius, Tagmarshal, Pace, and SevenRooms, and deploys in 2–4 weeks vs. 3–6 months for competitors. Clubs migrate to Whoosh primarily for faster deployment, a better member experience, and staff efficiency.
