The intelligentgolf alternative with the accounts built in
Links Meridian, golf club management software for UK and Irish clubs, is an intelligentgolf alternative that runs the tee sheet, the tills, a double-entry ledger and each club's own member app on one system, with every price published. intelligentgolf is part of ClearCourse, shows no price on its website, and sells its Xero integration at an additional cost.
intelligentgolf covers competitions, membership, tee times, event management, EPOS and the club website, with payments, direct debits, Claritee analytics and a Xero integration alongside (intelligentgolf). Its competitions run singles medal, Stableford, knockouts and betterball, with live leaderboards and automated handicap adjustments from members' latest scores (intelligentgolf competitions). Members book their own tee times online (intelligentgolf tee times) and use the igMember app for bookings, competition scoring, news and events. intelligentgolf says it is trusted by hundreds of clubs across the UK and Ireland and publishes no club count (intelligentgolf, about us).
intelligentgolf is part of ClearCourse (intelligentgolf, part of ClearCourse), and ClearCourse Sports & Leisure owns both intelligentgolf and HowDidiDo (The Golf Business, July 2026). ClearCourse's HowDidiDo app, version 1.0 released on 5 December 2025, combines HowDidiDo, ClubV1 Members Hub and igMember functionality into one platform, and its listing shows in-app purchases at £2.99 and £9.99 (App Store, HowDidiDo).
On the accounts, intelligentgolf posts draft journals to Xero, and the Xero Integration Package is an additional cost (intelligentgolf Xero integration). Its EPOS has integrated stock control (intelligentgolf EPOS). Links Meridian keeps the books in the same system as the tee sheet: a double-entry ledger with AP, AR and period close from Professional, fed by the pro shop and F&B tills, bookings and dues, with a nightly QuickBooks Online and Xero sync if your accountant keeps an outside ledger. Bacs Direct Debit collects UK dues.
Handicaps need a plain answer. Links Meridian's official WHS sync is built but stays switched off until the home union licence is signed, so today Links Meridian does not submit scores to WHS or receive handicap updates from it. Until then, each member's Handicap Index comes across in the member import with their CDH number, and every changed index is kept as a dated revision. The importer recognises an intelligentgolf member export by its columns.
intelligentgolf shows no price on its website (checked 10 October 2026). Links Meridian publishes every tier, from Starter at $99 to Enterprise at $1,799 a month, with no per-module fees within a tier. Data migration is free on every plan, and intelligentgolf stays live until you sign off on Links Meridian.
