Modern operations for municipal golf courses
Online booking that residents enjoy using. Transparent pricing with resident and non-resident tiers. Staff tools that pro shop attendants pick up in a morning. Reporting that holds up to public-records audits. Built for the way municipal golf actually operates.
Municipal courses operate under constraints private clubs and resorts do not face. The tee sheet has to handle high public volume on a tight margin. Pricing has to be defensible to a city council and transparent to taxpayers. Staff turnover is higher and training time is shorter. Audit trails matter because the books are public. And the technology budget is a real constraint.
Links Meridian was designed to handle all of those at once. The full platform is included in every plan, so a municipal course gets the same tee sheet, POS, accounting, and member portal that a private club gets, at a fraction of legacy-vendor pricing. The tools are simple enough for a seasonal pro shop attendant to learn in a morning, and powerful enough for a multi-course parks-and-recreation department to run reporting across every property.
Online booking lives on your municipality's domain, branded to the course. Resident and non-resident pricing is enforced automatically. Senior, junior, and military discounts apply consistently. The audit log captures every staff action, every price override, and every refund, so a public-records request never sends you scrambling. Daily close runs against your bank feed automatically and exports to whichever GL the city uses.

What's included
Common questions
We have a tight budget. What does Links Meridian actually cost?
Plans start at $79/month billed annually. The Standard plan ($299/month) replaces a typical municipal tee sheet plus a real member CRM, automated billing, and member portal. The Professional plan ($749/month) adds pro shop and F&B POS, accounting, and marketing — replacing tee sheet, POS, accounting, and marketing in one platform. Most municipalities pay less in total than they did for their previous patchwork of tools.
How do we enforce resident pricing?
Resident verification can be tied to address validation, ID upload, or season-pass membership. The platform enforces tier pricing at booking and at the POS. Non-residents see non-resident pricing automatically. Manual overrides are logged.
Can we generate reports for city council and public-records requests?
Yes. Standard reports cover revenue, rounds, occupancy, demographics (resident vs non-resident), and refunds. Custom report builder lets your finance team save views. Every report exports to CSV, Excel, and PDF. The audit log captures every staff action, with timestamps and user attribution.
We use a city-wide accounting system, not QuickBooks. Will this work?
Yes. The platform exports daily journal entries in CSV format that most municipal GL systems can ingest. We also export to QuickBooks and Xero directly. The Enterprise tier includes assistance setting up a custom export format if your municipality requires one.
What about multi-course parks departments?
The Portfolio tier supports multi-course portfolios with consolidated reporting, cross-property gift cards, and shared customer records. Most multi-course parks departments run on Professional or Enterprise depending on volume.
