Clover alternative

The Clover alternative built for a golf course

Links Meridian is the Clover alternative for golf courses that want the tills on the same system as the tee sheet and the member accounts. Clover is Fiserv's point-of-sale platform (Fiserv annual report). It has no tee sheet of its own, so golf courses add one from the Clover App Market, such as Quick18 TeeSheet by Sagacity Golf (Sagacity Golf).

Merchant Maverick reports Clover's pricing (updated 24 November 2025): software plans from $14.95 a month for Essentials, $59.95 for Counter Service Restaurant, $84.95 for Retail Growth and $89.95 for Table Service Restaurant; in-person card processing at 2.3% or 2.6% plus 10¢ depending on the plan, and 3.5% plus 10¢ for keyed payments; hardware from $49 for Clover Go to $1,899 for Station Duo.

Links Meridian is the golf system and the POS in one. The pro shop POS with gift cards and inventory and the F&B POS with floor plans and a kitchen display come with Professional at $749 a month, on the same member record as the tee sheet, member billing and a double-entry ledger. Members charge to their account at either till, member prices apply at the register, and the POS runs in any phone or tablet browser and fires orders to the kitchen display. Card payments run at standard published rates, paid straight into the club's own account and itemised on every payout.

QuickBooks Online sync sends the day's trading every night at the hour you pick, or on demand, as one balanced journal or as individual invoices and payments. Data migration is free on every plan, and your current tills stay live until you sign off.

Why it matters

The outcome for your club

A tee sheet in the same system

Bookings, green fees and the tills share one database and one member record, instead of a POS and a separate tee-sheet app.

Charge to the member's account

Members charge to their house account at the pro shop and the grill, with member prices applied at the register and statements they download as a PDF.

One sales report and one ledger

Every sale writes a balanced journal in a double-entry ledger with AP and AR, and a sales tax report breaks tax down by jurisdiction.

QuickBooks Online, sent every night

One balanced journal a day, or individual invoices and payments, nightly at the hour you choose or on demand. Professional tier.

Questions

Common questions

Can a golf course run on Clover?

A golf course can take payments on Clover, Fiserv's point-of-sale platform, but Clover has no tee sheet of its own; courses add one from the Clover App Market, such as Quick18 TeeSheet by Sagacity Golf. Links Meridian runs the tee sheet, the pro shop and F&B tills, member billing and a double-entry ledger on one system.

How much does Clover cost for a golf course?

Merchant Maverick reports Clover software plans from $14.95 to $89.95 a month, in-person processing at 2.3% or 2.6% plus 10¢ depending on the plan, and hardware from $49 to $1,899 (updated 24 November 2025). A tee-sheet app from the Clover App Market is a separate product. Links Meridian includes the pro shop and F&B POS from Professional at $749 a month, with the tee sheet and member billing in the same price.

What does Links Meridian add over Clover?

The golf side of the business. That means a tee sheet, member accounts that the pro shop and grill can charge to, member prices at the register, tournaments, and a double-entry ledger with QuickBooks Online and Xero sync, all on one member record.

Can we switch from Clover to Links Meridian?

Yes. Data migration is free on every plan, and your current tills stay live until you sign off on Links Meridian.
