Recreation · Country Club Management Software

One connected system for members, dues, bookings, dining and events.

Manage membership applications, family records, dues, tee time and court bookings, dining charges, guest passes, locker rentals and function bookings in one system. Each member has a single account that every department posts to. The office, the kitchen, the coaches and the committee read the same record. One statement goes out each month.

  • Member categories, dues and house rules entered the way the club applies them
  • Member lists, family links and open balances carried across
  • Changes to rules and categories made by GullySystem staff on request

Country clubs and members’ clubs manage membership, dues, tee and court bookings, dining charges and functions in Country Club Management Software, which GullySystem configures around the clubhouse. Each member has one account with family links, guest allowances and every charge from the bar, the pro shop and the events team. A single statement is issued.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

One member, many ledgers

The bar, the pro shop and the office each keep a tab, so the member receives several bills. None shows what is owed in total, and a locker levy goes unbilled.

Rules differ by category

Junior, spouse, corporate, debenture and reciprocal overseas members follow different rules for fees, guests and access. Staff look them up at the desk.

Courts and rooms are booked in parallel

Members ring, walk in or book a tee time through a coach. Each channel has its own list. Clashes on squash courts, croquet lawns and starter sheets show up only on arrival.

Dues reminders depend on memory

Instalments, joining fees and the annual levy are tracked in a sheet. Reminders go out whenever someone finds the time, and the treasurer hears about arrears only at the committee meeting.

Function deposits are loosely held

A marquee date is held on an email promise. The deposit, the menu, the dress code and the guest count live in different threads.

Committee figures are compiled by hand

Member counts, resignations, food cost and the handicap committee’s list are pulled from three files before each meeting.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Application

    A prospect applies with a sponsor. The membership office records the details, the category sought and whether a debenture or entrance fee applies.

  2. 2

    Committee decision

    The application goes to the committee list. The decision, the date and the joining fee due are recorded, along with any sub-committee remarks and the sponsor’s name.

  3. 3

    Membership and family

    A member number is issued and the spouse, children and other dependants are linked, each with the rules of their class, handicap record and locker allocation.

  4. 4

    Use of the club

    Tee times, courts, rooms and lessons are booked. The bar, the kitchen and the pro shop post charges to the member number, and the starter reads the sheet at the first tee.

  5. 5

    Statement and collection

    One statement carries dues and all charges. Overdue balances are listed oldest first, with reminders sent from the office, so the secretary never chases by phone alone.

  6. 6

    Renewal or resignation

    Renewal dates are tracked. A resignation closes the account only after the last charge, locker fee and levy are settled, and the member number is retired.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Membership applications

Receive applications with a sponsor, route them to the committee and record each decision with its date, including the waiting list position for every applicant still queued.

Member and family records

Hold each member with spouse, dependants, category, joining date, handicap and the rules that apply to every person on the account.

Dues and joining fees

Raise annual dues, instalments, levies and joining fees by category, and list who has paid, who is part-paid and who is overdue.

Facility and court bookings

Book tee times, courts, rooms and the pool by slot, with member priority windows, guest limits and a record of who attended. Squash, padel and croquet slots follow their own lengths.

Dining and bar charges

Post food and drink from the point of sale to a member number, with a signed slip or a card kept on file. Bar, terrace and halfway house sales land on the same account.

Lessons and coaching

Schedule lessons and clinics with each coach, record attendance, and bill the member or the junior’s parent at the rate agreed for that coach.

Events and functions

Quote a function, hold the date with a deposit, track guest numbers, menu and dress code, and bill the balance after the event. Marquee and banquet hall bookings share one calendar.

Guest passes and entry log

Record guests by host and date, count visits against each allowance and log who entered each area. A member-guest day uses the same list.

Member statements and receipts

Issue one monthly statement with every charge on it, and a receipt for each payment by card, bank transfer or cash, so each line is explained.

Committee reports

Show members by category, resignations, dues outstanding, locker waiting list and food and beverage cost, ready for the board pack.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Contact & Account Management

    Each member, spouse and dependant is held under one account, with class and joining date, so rules apply to the right person.

  • Workflow and Approvals

    An application moves from sponsor to committee, and each decision is recorded with its date before the member number is issued.

  • Subscription Billing

    Annual dues and instalments are raised on set dates by category, and a part-paid or overdue account is flagged for the office.

  • Resource and Room Booking

    Courts, rooms and the pool are booked by slot, with member priority windows and guest limits applied as the booking is made.

  • Point of Sale Billing

    Food and drink are rung at the till and posted to a member number, with a signed slip or a card on file.

  • Appointment Scheduling

    A coach’s diary holds lesson and clinic slots, and attendance is marked so the club can bill the member or the junior’s parent.

  • Receipts Management

    Every payment by card, transfer or cash is receipted against the account and shown on the next monthly statement.

  • Dashboards and KPIs

    Member counts, resignations, dues owed and food cost are shown on one page, drawn from the entries staff already make.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the general manager and committee

See member counts, dues owed, facility use, food cost and function income, and read the waiting list before each committee sitting.

For the membership office

Handle applications, family changes, renewals, locker allocations and resignations on one record.

For front desk and reception

Book tee times, courts and rooms, check guest passes and answer a member’s balance query at once, all from the same screen without calling the office.

For food and beverage teams

Post charges to member numbers, manage function menus and see marquee and banquet deposits held.

For coaches and sports staff

See lesson schedules, attendance, handicap entries and starter sheets. Add charges for the club to bill, so the coach never keeps a private tab.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Members by category and status
  • Dues paid, part-paid and overdue
  • Facility use by court, tee sheet and hour
  • Food and beverage sales and cost
  • Function deposits and balances
  • Guest visits by member
  • Locker waiting list and levies
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Country clubs with golf, squash, dining and social events
  • Members’ clubs with a committee and a joining process
  • Racquet, swimming and fitness clubs attached to a clubhouse
  • Clubs that rent a marquee or banquet hall for weddings and dinners
  • Boards that need a clear picture of dues, levies and costs
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A club with fewer than a hundred members and one bar can run on a ledger and a committee book.
  • Venues that only sell gym access will find Gym Management Software closer to their needs.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Categories and rules

Your member classes, age bands, guest allowances, debenture holders and priority windows are entered as the constitution describes them.

Dues calendar

Annual, quarterly and instalment dues, plus any levy, follow the dates your finance sub-committee sets.

Facilities and slots

Tee sheets, courts, rooms, the pool and the lessons you offer are set up with their own slot lengths and booking windows.

Currency and tax settings

Service charges, tax lines and currency follow the country the club sits in, so a member statement matches local rules. We confirm each during the build.

Member lists and balances

Each member, the family on the account, the handicap and the amount still owed come across from your member register or spreadsheet.

Hosted by GullySystem

GullySystem hosts the software. The office, the front desk, the starter and the kitchen all work from the same member record.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can members see their own balance?

Yes. A member signs in to see the account, past statements and booked facilities. Staff see the same figures, so a query at the desk is answered from one screen.

How are spouse and junior rules applied?

Each person on an account carries a class, and the class decides which facilities, hours and guest rights apply. A junior turning of age changes class on a set date.

Does it connect to the bar till?

It can, if the till can send charges. The link is scoped with the till supplier during implementation. If it cannot, charges are entered from a daily summary.

Can the committee approve applications here?

Yes. The application, sponsor and fee are listed for the meeting. The decision is recorded, and the membership office then issues the member number.

How do function deposits work?

A date is held against a quote and a deposit. A cancellation follows the terms on the quote, and the balance is billed after the event with the final guest count and menu changes.

Can several people book at the same time?

Yes. A tee time or slot taken at the desk disappears for members booking from a phone. Clashes are blocked as the booking is made.

Can we move our member list over?

Yes. Members, dependants, handicaps and unpaid dues are imported from your sheet, and the membership secretary compares the totals with the old ledger before the first statement run.

Does it handle guest policy?

Yes. A guest is recorded with the host and the date, and the visit counts against the member’s allowance. A manager may approve an exception.

What does it cost?

Cost depends on membership size, facilities and modules chosen. You see the member account and statement working on sample data, then receive a written proposal.

Wondering what it costs? Six questions give you a written scope and the buckets any quote should separate.
