BRS Golf alternative
TheBRSGolfalternativethatleavesyourgreenfeesalone
BRS Golf is owned by GolfNow, the tee-time marketplace. Move to Golf Club Software and you stop handing over tee times or paying commission to sell green fees. Published pricing, a flat 1 percent plus Stripe fees on card payments, and your golfers stay yours.
The short version
WhyclubslookpastBRSGolf
BRS Golf is the established tee-sheet name across UK and Ireland golf, and its booking experience is well liked. It is also owned by GolfNow, which sat under Golf Channel and Comcast, and since the January 2026 spin-out sits under the US media group Versant. So the company running your tee sheet also runs a tee-time marketplace.
That is where the catch is. To sell green fees through GolfNow you either pay commission on the sale, or you hand over tee times for GolfNow to resell in exchange for services. Some clubs are offered the software at no charge in return for giving up a tee time a day. Either way, money and control come off your first tee, and the visitor becomes GolfNow's customer as much as yours.
If you would rather keep your green fees, your prices and your golfers, here is how we compare. Where BRS is the better choice, we say so.

The honest bit
WhenBRSGolfistherightchoice
If your club lives on visitor green fees and you want a marketplace actively selling your spare tee times to a large pool of golfers, GolfNow's reach is real. BRS plugs straight into it. For a club that would rather fill quiet mornings than protect the margin on every green fee, that trade can pay off.
If deep, native competition and handicap management from one supplier matters more to you than keeping every green fee, BRS with Golf Genius is a mature setup. There is a large installed base behind it.
We are the better fit when you would rather keep your green fees, set your own prices and own the golfer relationship. You can run your handicapping software alongside a simpler booking and payments system.

Is BRS Golf free?
Some clubs are offered it at no software fee in return for handing GolfNow tee times to resell. That is not really free. You are paying in inventory off your first tee. Our pricing is published, flat and paid in money, so your tee times stay yours.
