Competitions Built into the Whole Platform
Links Meridian is the alternative to Golf Genius for clubs that want competitions and live scoring on the same platform as the tee sheet, the members, the tills and the accounts. Golf Genius is a tournament and league specialist, often provided through a golfer's national or regional association; it reports 41 million rounds across about 11,000 facilities in 2025. Many clubs run it for events beside a separate system for everything else.
Golf Genius publishes its US rate card for facilities of up to 36 holes: TM Club at $1,425 a year plus a $200 onboarding fee, and TM Club Premium at $4,275 a year plus $500 (Golf Genius pricing page, checked 13 September 2026). Larger facilities, associations and international customers are quoted individually, and many clubs receive it through their association.
The case for Links Meridian is consolidation. Rather than run a tournament tool next to a tee sheet, a POS, an accounting package and a member app, you get competitions and live scoring in the same platform as the tee sheet, member CRM, pro shop and F&B POS, a double-entry general ledger and the Digital Clubhouse, with every tier published from $99 a month. One login, one bill, one data model.
The Outcome for Your Club
Competitions in the Platform
Medal, Stableford, fourball, match play, scramble, opens and championships with live scoring and projected leaderboards, on the same tee sheet, from Professional.

The Rest of the Club Too
