Golf Club Management Software for Canadian Clubs

Links Meridian runs a Canadian golf club from one login: the tee sheet, season passes with the revenue recognised month by month, frost delays, pro shop and F&B tills, a double-entry ledger and a member app. Prices, invoices and the ledger run in Canadian dollars, prices show sales tax on top, and every Links Meridian tier is published from $99 a month.

Canadian golf runs on a tight calendar. The season is short, spring and fall bring frost delays, and much of a club's revenue arrives before the first tee time as season passes and dues. Links Meridian treats that as the normal case: seasons and holidays on the rate card, frost delays on the tee sheet, and season passes accounted for as a liability the club earns over the term.

The tee sheet, pro shop and F&B tills, a general ledger with AP and AR, and the Digital Clubhouse member app share one login and one bill. The club's base currency is the Canadian dollar and prices display before tax. You set the club's sales-tax rate at setup, GST by default, and add category-specific rates for items taxed differently; every sale posts its tax to a liability account, never to revenue. Card payments run at standard published rates, paid into the club's own account, with Apple Pay, Google Pay and card readers at the till.

Season passes are sold at the desk from the member record. Links Meridian defers the payment and recognises it one month at a time over the term, a pass can be paused and resumed for the off-season, and a pass that includes the cart waives the cart fee on the holder's own booking. Memberships that start mid-season get a prorated first dues charge. Through the winter, the Digital Clubhouse keeps members connected with Course Records, the Honours Board and a club feed, and each club gets its own branded iOS and Android app.

Why it matters

The Outcome for Your Club

One Platform, Not Five

Tee sheet, member CRM, POS, accounting and tournaments in a single system that runs in Canadian dollars. One login, one bill and one ledger.

Built for the Canadian Season

Rate cards by day of week, season, holiday and membership type. A frost delay sets the delayed start, updates the course status members see, and holds bookings until the new start.

Season Passes Accounted Correctly

A season pass is recorded as a liability and recognised month by month over the term, not booked as revenue on the day it sells. Pause and resume it for the off-season from the member record.

Canadian Dollars and Sales Tax

Canadian dollar base currency, prices shown before tax, your club's sales-tax rate set at setup with category-specific rates, and tax posted as a liability on every sale.

A Member App They'll Actually Open

The Digital Clubhouse brings booking, Course Records, the Honours Board, event registration and a club feed into one place that stays active through the winter. Each club also gets its own branded iOS and Android app.

WHS Handicaps and Competitions

Each member's official WHS Handicap Index is held with its dated revision history, and course and playing handicaps with allowances by format are calculated for medal, Stableford, match play, scramble and skins events, from Professional.

Questions

Common Questions

How much does Links Meridian cost for a Canadian club?

Links Meridian publishes every tier: Starter $99, Standard $299, Professional $749 and Enterprise $1,799 a month, or 20% less billed annually, with no per-module fees within a tier. Tee-On has no public price and quotes after a sales call (checked 14 September 2026). Lightspeed Golf's starting price is reported at US$200 to US$325 a month across software marketplaces, not confirmed by the vendor. After your demo we set your club up for you and give you the login. No fee until you go live.

Does Links Meridian handle Canadian sales tax?

Yes. A Canadian club runs in Canadian dollars with prices shown before tax. You set the club's sales-tax rate at setup, GST by default, and add category-specific rates for items taxed differently. Every sale posts its tax line to a liability account in the general ledger rather than to revenue, and the sales, revenue-by-category and trial balance reports export to CSV, Excel and PDF for your filings.

Can we switch from Tee-On or Lightspeed Golf?

Yes. Your current system stays live until you sign off the go-live date for Links Meridian, so the season never runs without a tee sheet. Migration is free on every plan: staged upload, AI-assisted field mapping, a dry run before anything is committed, and rollback.

How are season passes handled?

Links Meridian sells a season pass from the member record and records the payment as a liability, recognised as revenue one month at a time over the term. Passes can be paused and resumed for the off-season, blackout days are set on the pass's own rate grid, and a pass that includes the cart waives the cart fee on the holder's own booking. Memberships that start mid-season get a prorated first dues charge.

What happens on a frost delay?

Staff set the delayed start time for the course and day. Links Meridian changes the course status to frost delay with the staff note so members see it, holds bookings before the new start, and shows staff how many confirmed bookings fall before it so those players can be moved. Lifting the delay reopens the course.

Does Links Meridian calculate handicaps?

Yes. Links Meridian holds each member's official WHS Handicap Index with its revision history, and calculates course and playing handicaps, with allowances by format, for competitions. Each member profile holds the golfer's Golf Canada ID. Handicaps and tournaments come with the Professional plan.
