We have been able to upgrade our technology at all 6 courses and the integration with Stripe was a huge upgrade. Pros The tee sheet is so easy to manage and extremely easy for our frontline employees to understand and operate. Cons The one thing that I wish was better is the multiple course reporting. I have to logout of one course and then login to another course to get all my reports. Would love for it to combine information in one place.

Director of Golf Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Software!!" October 7, 2020 5.0 Great customer service. They go above and beyond to make sure you are set up and ready to go. I highly recommend them to any golf course out there! Pros It's fast at checkout! Only takes a couple clicks. I've worked with several other software programs and foreUP is the best I've worked with. The ease of use checking people out, adding products to the sale, adding extra carts or greens fees or soda or snacks, is so easy compared to other software programs. Cons We use Stripe for credit card transactions. It immediately processes the card quickly. It takes a few seconds to print the receipt. I think this will improve as time goes on. I only notice because I have seen foreUP print out credit card receipts faster. Alternatives considered [Lightspeed Golf](https://www.capterra.com/p/151997/Chronogolf/) Reason for choosing foreUP Great customer service. Quick check outs. Inventory and reports are easy to run and track and add inventory and bulk edit. Adding event credit and customer credit is quick and easy and tracked. Overall just great support team and you can understand them. Switched from [Lightspeed Golf](https://www.capterra.com/p/151997/Chronogolf/) Chrono golf was horrible. Super slow. 13 clicks to check someone out. You had to go to other screens to bring in and attach an item to a sale. I would never recommend them to anyone. And they are a Canadian based company. Customer service was bad. Review Source KD Kim D. General Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Silver Oak experience with Foreup" February 6, 2024 3.0 Overall, we are not really happy. Wish we could get some support on the phone instead of email or chat. Foreup has caused us to lose our tee sheet on several occasions and created a mess to navigate through at the worst time. Pros Its easy to teach new staff how to use the system. It's easy to add inventory and change information about inventory. Cons We cannot use it for F&B events which is critical to our kind of golf course and we would love to have a F&B inventory system. Lack of these items has us considering a change. It is also very limiting when it comes to the choices of what we can limit our staff access too. For example, I want my staff to see the employee z-out but not see any other reports. It's all or nothing. Switched from [Zendesk Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/164283/Zendesk/) Better tee sheet management and online booking capabilities Review Source LR Lori R. General Office Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "foreup review" February 6, 2024 5.0 overall a friendly system to use - help is available if needed Pros very easy system to use - friendly use, customer service very helpful Cons could use some more privilege options for employees to fine tune each employee - could use some specifics on the inventory management items Switched from [IBS CLUB](https://www.capterra.com/p/153647/IBS-CLUB/) not easy programs to use - one was not compatible with the other Review Source TS Tarah S. Sales and Finance Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent for Database, Not Accounting" September 23, 2020 4.0 I really appreciate that ForeUP is cloud based. It's great to be able to access from wherever I maybe. The downside of it being in the cloud is that, sometimes, we have struggles with the Food and Beverage Sales Portal not getting orders to our kitchen, but most of the time it works seamlessly. Their customer service is prompt and on point. I have never had trouble getting the assistance I need or a solution to the issues I'm having. Overall ForeUP is VERY easy to use and to set up. I've been able to set it up to allocate to different revenue centers and allocate every transaction to the accounts I need on the accounting end, however we have to do most of the accounting manually because ForeUP is not set up as an accounting software, more of a data software. This does work out for us because we dissect much of what we do on the sales end year to year to see what is working and what is not and use that in making changes for the next year. If you are a unique organization like us, I would recommend asking very specific questions about your needs, but overall it's an excellent software to have. Pros ForeUP is amazing for data, but not accounting. I have had to make several outside spreadsheets to manipulate the data the way that I need, but I have never run into trouble finding very specific piece of data that I need. Cons Other software companies that we have worked with can build programs to do what we need. ForeUP categorizes requests by priority and score them on a demand basis, so some of the very specific and unique things that we need it to do, we are having to do manually because it hasn't been as high of a priority on their pipeline of programs to build/improve. Alternatives considered [Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) Reason for choosing foreUP It had MORE (not all) of the services we were looking for and the functionality fit our needs better. Review Source MR Michael R. Director of Golf Sports Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ForeUp takes the lead in Golf Software!!" October 9, 2020 5.0 The overall experience has been great! I would recommend \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] as your set up guy as he has been in the business for years behind the counter and behind the scenes with POS systems. He is knowledgeable and makes sure things are right and doesn't try to rush to get your system live where you end up with problems later on. The team as a whole constantly works with you to make sure your experience with the system is top notch Pros The Software is very easy to use. From the set up to the daily use. Easy to change items, Create and change pricing classes, merge duplicate customers etc. The software keeps getting more robust with the developers actually scheduling calls with operators like me to get feedback on how to build something or needs that we have in the software. Cons There is very few things that I dislike about the software. There were some small little bug issues with some of the tee-sheet but the development team fixed it relatively quick for us. I always expect a software that has many features to have a few minor bugs especially when new updates come out but nothing that ever hinders the operation for the day. Alternatives considered [Lightspeed Golf](https://www.capterra.com/p/151997/Chronogolf/) Reason for choosing foreUP Because of the design of the system and ease of use. Switched from [Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) Constant promises of updates with nothing coming. Went for over a year without any updates to the software. COVID 19 was blamed for the firing of most of the support staff and half of the account managers leaving courses left out to dry. Review Source JC Jason C. General Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Golf POS / Tee-sheet / F&B software out there" October 11, 2019 5.0 Exceptional. It is that simple. Their staff, support, leadership, development team... everyone at foreUP is EXCEPTIONAL at what they do and how they take care of their customers. Pros Ease of use and functionality are probably the most important. Followed by the usefulness of all the modules. Even the ability to use certain functions for their non intended use. For example being able to create punch cards for any item you desire, NOT just rounds of golf! Cons The only issues I have are things that explicitly revolve around "resort" operations at my facility. That being stated though, there is no "golf resort" style POS system and therefore I still require a hotel / hospitality software in conjunction with the golf side of the house. Alternatives considered [IBS CLUB](https://www.capterra.com/p/153647/IBS-CLUB/)[Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) Reason for choosing foreUP The simple answer is functionality and use. The second part of that is cost savings, and SERVICE. Review Source LM Lonny M. General Manager Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Software" December 23, 2021 5.0 I have recently signed up for the marketing side of ForeUp, and it has saved me time and has produced more income for our facility. Down time has been minimal. Pros It is user friendly, and is very reliable. The reporting is quick and is updated every few minutes. Cons Maybe a to-go feature on the food side. Reason for choosing foreUP ForeUp had the credibility that the competitors didn't have. Also, the price fit our budget. Switched from [Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) I was not happy with the performance of Teesnap. Always down, tablets not holding a charge. Reporting was slow and not updated that frequently. Review Source SD Steve D. General Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ravisloe Country Club" February 19, 2024 4.0 Pros The ease of booking reservations and adding notes to reservations if needed. Cons Time stamping when the reservation was taken and also time stamping notes that are put in with the reservation. Switched from [Golf Booking](https://www.capterra.com/p/182275/Golf-Booking-Software/) There were too many issues with the change from Golf Now to their new platform G-1 Review Source Shawn L. Director Of Golf Operations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The software is ok for very basic operations of a golf course. " April 20, 2018 3.0 It is a good cloud based software that many courses could probably use and be happy with. As an advanced operator, it has some lacking features still. The support team is good at listening to the issues and there have been small features added since I started using the software 8 months ago. Pros It is an affordable tee sheet and pos software for startup golf courses or for courses that don't want a lot of the fancy tools. The reporting is nice and clean. The new marketing suite (when it works) have great templates. Cons As being a very focused on tee sheet management and revenue driving activities there are many functions that are lacking to perform my job at the highest level. In order to use email marketing to its fullest potential, you have to be able to segment your database in numerous ways. I cannot send a last minute special out for just our closest zip codes, I cannot send out defector emails for people that have not played in 30,60 or 90 days, I cannot send out emails to a group that played in a specific time frame to invite them back and worst of all, I cannot even remove my card holders from the massive list so I have to be very careful with my offers as they will get the same ones. why have an email limit if I can't segment my golfer? Rain check platform is perfect, except for dealing with tee sheet driven pricing like golfnow. I use dynamic pricing and would have to have every single dollar amount available for selection, I would need a golfnow fee, that is horrible. The discounting in the food and beverage model could not be more inefficient. My staff cannot add a discount at the time of order (if we were a snack bar window, that would work). When you reduce the amount of players on a tee time it does not change the area that is blocked off! The booking engine is not user friendly. Authorizing a dollar to hold a credit card is a pain, why can't it be algorithm based to verify the number? Let me take a bad credit card number and hold securely. Review Source Response from Clubessential Holdings October 3, 2018 You're correct, at this time our marketing's limited to basic segmentation, but we're working to provide the means to send emails to the requested segments. Right now, you can go to your customer module, use the advanced filtering tool & click the "send to marketing" option in the bottom right corner. You have access to over 20+ filters that'll help you get some of the segments you're looking for. We're working closely with our F&B operations to ensure by the end of the year, our Food & Beverage module is where it needs to be to help operations like yours be more efficient. I'll make the product team aware of your needs & have them reach out to you. Lastly, we're happy to let you know that the tee sheet has the feature that allows for tee time adjusting, per your feedback. If you'd like further assistance or want to provide more feedback, our Product & Account Management teams can reach out & get you up to speed on what's coming, & what new features exist.

Pros foreUP software is a great tool to help manage tee bookings and online presence. It is easy to use and, if you need help, support is fast and efficient. Cons I have nothing bad to say about foreUP. Review Source JB Jason B. GM Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of ForeUp Software" December 23, 2021 5.0 Each member of the ForeUp teams has been thoughtful and available whenever we have needed support. Pros We have used ForeUp at Gearhart Golf Links for a few years now, and above all we like how easy it is to use. Critical to our operation is the digital Tee sheet, Marketing messages and e-mails, Inventory Management, and Website and App access. All are easy to use on our end, and our Club Members and Guests enjoy the website and app. Cons Transferring from our prior system to ForeUp was super easy. I'm sure it was a bunch of work for the ForeUp team, but on our end we just had to spend some time formatting the new website and transferring our customer and inventory data. Training was easy. There are just a few minor, minor things that we would like to see improved, and the Team is working on those things. Reason for choosing foreUP Cost, ease of use, and the many options offered.

Pros The easy of use and simplistic value for member use is great! Cons The tee times should be real time, not an hour in advance. Reason for choosing foreUP The ease and simple use.

Head Golf Professional Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Review of ForeUP" February 12, 2024 4.0 Pros Tee sheet management is probably the best part of FOREUP Cons Features with inventory and payment processing are lacking Review Source LJ Lisa J. Private Events Sales Director Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Navigational Ease" September 26, 2019 5.0 There are many benefits. When collecting and applying payments for future events is a small portion of the overall job description it need to be fast and comprehensive and this program fixes those potentially problematic area. Reconciling is typically during an event and the least amount of time spent on the accounting portion is more attention for the external and internal people. Pros I like that it navigates well, researching clients and applying payments and reconciling accounts. The ease of creating reports. The ease of repairing errant spelling/listings etc. Cons There is a preferred way to put the clients in to group the outings/events/wedding receptions by event type, property and date and it is sometimes difficult to remember what portion goes in what field - ie: the event name in the first name field and the property and date in the last name field. Review Source CS Chuck S. Golf Professional Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Golf shop savior " December 23, 2021 5.0 Love the ease and the support. Pros The ease of setting up our tee sheets, data base, merchandise and interaction. We have an all-in-one software/support system with Fore-up that out works everything else we have tried or used. We not only recommend it, we train other local golf courses on it. Cons We haven’t had any problems yet, so we have zero complaints. Review Source JF James F. Golf Professional/Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Implementing our online booking process to match our policies" October 10, 2019 5.0 My experience is always good with 4up. They are professional and helpful. Pros I liked it's functionality. Being able to go in and set our tee sheet up to match everything we do is huge. Having online booking frees us up to do everything else we do in the golf shop. Cons I think my issues are being taken seriously. It doesn't look good when we say we don't allow 9 hole rounds weekend mornings when customers are allowed to book on our website and we can't change it. Hence we end up letting these players play nine anyway. Thanks for working with us to remedy these important issues Reason for choosing foreUP It was here when I became Manager.

Does need to work out some bugs as far as food and beverage and accounting is concerned. Pros POS System in the golf shop as well as the tee sheet Cons POS in the F&B needs to be upgraded in order to be user friendly.

This streamlines reporting and helps staff stay fluent in operations no matter where they are working. Pros The software is extremely easy to use and the support is amazing too. Perfect for big operations and for small operations alike. Cons Operations are not as strong outside of North America but if you operate in the North America then it's a great choice.

The inventory mod is easy to use and again gives us what we need to keep track of what sells and what we might need. Cons The passes portion of the software. It is hard to update and the beginning of the year and I wish that it integrated a bit bit better with the tee sheet. Review Source BB Brent B.
