About TeeMarshal

Software a course pays for with money, not tee times

TeeMarshal is tee sheet, booking, payments, and golfer communication software for independent public golf courses. We charge a flat monthly price and stay out of the way between you and your golfers.

Why we are building this

For years, a lot of course software has been sold as free. It is not free. The course pays in barter: a couple of tee times a day that the vendor sells on its own marketplace, often at a discount, to golfers who then belong to the marketplace.

That trade made sense when online booking was new and hard to build. It makes less sense now. The tee times given away are usually good ones. The golfers who book through a marketplace learn to look there first, and to wait for the discount. And the course ends up renting access to its own customers.

Our view is simple. A tee sheet is a tool, and a tool should have a price tag. Pay the price, keep your inventory, keep your golfers, and decide for yourself where your tee times are sold.

You can check what barter costs at your course with the barter calculator. It shows the formula, and the numbers are yours.

Principles

Four rules we hold ourselves to

Flat pricing

One monthly price per course, published on the pricing page. No barter tee times, no per-booking fees, no percentage of your green fees. When you have a great Saturday, you keep all of it.

Your data

Your golfer list is the most valuable thing your course owns after the land. It stays yours. Export everything as CSV whenever you like, read it through the API, and take it with you if you leave.

No marketplace

We do not run a consumer site that sells tee times, and we never will market to your golfers. Bookings happen on your domain, under your name. If you want to list times on a marketplace or on Google, we help you distribute them on your terms.

Built for independents

The software is designed for a public or municipal course with a small staff: a pro shop counter, a starter with a tablet, and a GM who also orders the range balls. It should take minutes to learn and should not need an IT department.

What we will not do

It is easy to make promises on an about page. These are specific enough to hold us to, and the first three are written into our terms.

  • We will not take tee times as payment.
  • We will not sell or rent your golfer data, or market to your golfers.
  • We will not make it hard to leave. Export is one button, and there is no long-term contract.
  • We will not invent a per-booking fee later. If our pricing ever changes, you get notice in writing well ahead of time.
  • We will not claim a feature is live when it is still rolling out. Our feature pages say which is which.

Where we are

TeeMarshal is a new company, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. We are onboarding our first 25 founding courses, who get their price locked for life and free data migration. If you run an independent course and this sounds like how software should be sold, we would like to talk.
