Management Software for Private Golf Clubs
A 360° member CRM with family accounts and household billing. F&B with table service, kitchen routing, and charge-to-account. Tournaments, committees, dining reservations, and a Digital Clubhouse member portal that drives retention. Built for private clubs that take their member experience seriously.
Private clubs operate on relationships. The board, the membership committee, the head pro, the GM, and the membership all see the same data, but they need it for different reasons. Most platforms force you to choose between a member-experience tool that treats operations as an afterthought, or an operations tool that treats members as a row in a database. Links Meridian was designed for both at once.
The member CRM holds 360° profiles: full booking history, F&B charges, pro shop purchases, lessons, tournament results, handicap index, family relationships, and a communications log of every call, email, and note. Family accounts let parents and children share a household statement while keeping individual booking records. Membership types and dues are fully configurable. Billing runs on a schedule with auto-pay, ACH, and card payments at standard published rates.
The Digital Clubhouse is what sets private-club retention apart. Members log in to see Course Records, the Honours Board, season standings, awards, and badges. They register for tournaments, pay statements, find a fourth with the buddy list, and post in the community feed. Committees coordinate inside the platform, not in email threads. Dining reservations work alongside tee-time booking. The member portal is a real club, not a billing screen.

What's Included
Common Questions
How does family billing work for private-club households?
Link family members to a household. Each member has their own profile, booking access, and activity record, but billing rolls up to a single household statement. Sub-account limits and per-member spend tracking are configurable, and you can set different access rules for spouses, juniors, and adult children.
Can the platform support our committee structures?
Yes. Define any committees you need (membership, greens, social, finance) with chair, vice-chair, secretary, and member roles. Committee members get private discussion threads, document sharing, and voting tools inside the portal. Activity is auditable by the GM and board.
What about the dining room? We need real F&B, not a takeaway widget.
F&B is on the same POS as the pro shop. Floor plan editor, table assignment, server tracking, kitchen routing by station, course-by-course service, modifiers, splits, and tab management. Members charge dinner to their account at the table. The cashier does not need to look up an account number.
Can we run weddings and member functions through the same system?
Yes. Each kind of function you sell gets its own page on the club website. Enquiries land in a private events pipeline where you hold the date, take a second option behind it if another couple wants the same day, and send a proposal built from your menu packages, room minimums and charges. The host accepts and pays a deposit schedule online, and a member hosting their own function does it inside the Digital Clubhouse. Deposits sit as a liability until the day is delivered. Private events is included from Professional.
How does Links Meridian compare to Jonas?
Jonas is the legacy private-club platform. Links Meridian delivers the same operational depth in a modern, cloud-native, mobile-first interface, with member-facing social features Jonas does not have, and at lower total cost. See our Jonas alternative page for a head-to-head.
Can we keep our QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Links Meridian has full GL, AP, and AR built in, plus reconciled daily exports to QuickBooks and Xero. Most clubs migrate fully. Some run both during transition. The Enterprise tier includes accounting-team support during cutover.
