Golf club members app: your own or shared?

A golf club members app carries your club's name or a software company's. What members notice, what the club owns and what a white label club app costs.

Updated October 2026. App listings and prices checked on the UK App Store and Club Systems' website in October 2026.

Your members open a golf club members app most weeks of the season, to book Saturday, check the draw or see who won the medal. The icon they tap carries either your club's name or a software company's, and that one choice decides who owns the relationship, who sells the adverts and who sets the price of the app.

The app on your members' phones today

If your club runs BRS, members book in an app called BRS Golf. On the UK App Store the seller is GolfNow.com. It's free to download, and it's the same app for every BRS club: your members find it by searching for BRS, then pick your club inside it. On the UK App Store it has 2.9 out of 5 from 533 ratings (October 2026).

If your club runs ClubV1, members have been moving since 12 January 2026 to the new HowDidiDo app, sold on the App Store by ClearCourse Events & Leisure Limited. Members pay £2.99 a year for the standard app with adverts or £9.99 without, unless the club pays £1,400 a year to cover everyone, which Club Systems calls a limited time offer. On the UK App Store it has 3.1 out of 5 from 70 ratings (October 2026). The Golf Business reported in March 2026 that intelligentgolf clubs would move from igMember to the same app in the coming months. We've costed the HowDidiDo charge for clubs of 400 to 800 members if you want the sums, and set out Tuvabook beside ClubV1 row by row.

Both apps work. Both also belong to the vendor. The vendor's name sits under the icon, and the vendor decides what the app costs members, whether it carries adverts and what it does next year. Your club is one entry on a list.

Members notice the icon first

Picture a member's home screen. With your own app, your crest sits between their banking app and the weather, in your colours, with your club's name underneath. A new member who searches the App Store or Google Play for your club finds your crest, and the app they download opens on your course.

That is what Tuvabook gives you: your club's own app on the App Store and Google Play, with your name, your crest and your colours. It's free to every member and there are no adverts in it. A member's renewal letter can say "download the [your club] app" and mean it.

The push that says the draw is up

The moments members remember are small. On a Thursday evening a notification lands from the club: the draw for Saturday's medal is out. Publishing the draw sends each entrant their starting time and starting tee. A day before a round, they get a reminder. If they joined the waitlist for a full 8:10 and someone cancels, the offer arrives on their phone, and they hold the spot for a set window before it passes on.

Every one of those comes from your club's name, by push and email, and members choose which ones they get. In the dashboard, Message history shows every confirmation and reminder that went out, with a Resend button for any that didn't land.

You can also write to members yourself. Announcements sends a message by email, push or the app's Club news, to all golfers, one membership category, or members who have gone quiet for 90 days or more. Pushes wait out the club's quiet hours, so a member isn't pinged at midnight about a hollow-tining notice.

Booking the 7:30 takes a few taps

A member opens the app, picks Saturday, taps the 7:30 and books it in a few taps, inside the member-only window you set for their category. If plans change, they move or cancel it themselves, within your club's rules. Visitors and guests pay in full at booking, so the green fee is in the club's account before anyone reaches the first tee.

Between the member and the tee sheet there is nothing else: no adverts and no prompt to upgrade to an ad-free version. The only club in the app is yours.

Subs, competitions and lessons in the same app

A members' app earns its place on the home screen when it does more than book golf. In yours, members join and renew their membership in the app, and renewals bill on the date you set, so subs arrive without anyone chasing cards in January. Members enter Saturday's stableford and pay the entry fee, score hole by hole on their phone and follow the leaderboard live. They book a lesson with the pro, pay for a single lesson or a package, and sign up for the society day or the club dinner.

That's one login and one icon for everything the club does, and every one of those taps happens under your name.

The name on the icon owns the relationship

Each time a member opens a vendor's app, they see the vendor's name first and your club's second. Across a season of bookings, draws and results, that's a lot of small reminders of whose app it is.

With your own app, the club is the brand on every screen, and you decide what goes in front of members: club news, the competition calendar, the rates for each category. A shared app saves a member of two clubs one download, and that is the whole of its advantage.

The cost is published. Tuvabook is £149 a month for a single club, with no setup fee, and that covers the tee sheet, online booking, memberships, competitions, lessons and the branded app together. Golfers never pay a booking fee. We move your tee sheet, prices and members across for you, and you're live in three weeks. The full list is on our pricing page, and if you're on BRS today, we've set out Tuvabook beside BRS Golf row by row.

See your club's app before the committee does

Send us your crest and your club colours, and on the demo call we'll show you your club's own app, with your name under the icon. Bring the secretary and whoever chairs the marketing committee, and you'll both see what your members would see on Saturday morning.

Common questions

Do members pay for a club's own app?

No. Your club's Tuvabook app is free to every member, with no adverts. The club pays £149 a month for the whole system, and golfers never pay a booking fee.

Is a white label golf club app listed under the club's name?

Yes. Your app appears on the App Store and Google Play with your club's name, crest and colours, and members find it by searching for your club.

Can visitors book without downloading the app?

Yes. Visitors can book on your website through the booking widget, and both feed the same tee sheet, so a visitor online and a member in the app can never land on the same time.

Can the club send news to members through the app?

Yes. Announcements go by email, push or the app's Club news, to everyone or a chosen group, now or scheduled. Club news posts stay in the app for 90 days.
