BRS Golf alternatives for clubs that want to keep their tee times

Some clubs on BRS Golf report paying for their free software with a tee time a day, which GolfNow sells on to visitors. Your tee times are the price. We built Tuvabook so a club keeps every one of them: members and visitors book in an app with your club's name on it, each green fee lands in your own account the moment it's booked, and you pay one published price, £149 a month for a single club.

Our case comes first, because it's our page. After it: what BRS costs according to the clubs who use it, the five contract checks to make before you talk to anyone, and the four other systems UK clubs move to.

Option 1, and ours

Tuvabook: your club's own app, and every tee time stays yours

We started Tuvabook because the club should own its booking, its golfers and its app. Here's what that looks like on an ordinary week:

  • A member books Saturday's 7:30 in your club's app in a few taps, and pays nothing for the app.
  • A visitor's green fee is in your club's account before they arrive, so a no-show has already paid.
  • Phone and walk-in bookings go on the same tee sheet, and two golfers can never land on the same time.
  • You set member and visitor prices by time of day and season, and change them yourself. Nobody else sells your tee times.
  • We move your tee sheet, prices and members across for you, and you're live within three weeks of signing.

It's £149 a month for a single club, with no setup fee, month to month, and golfers never pay a booking fee. We're a small UK team, and we work with every club we take on, from the first call to your first Saturday. See what's included in the £149.

Royal Cliff Golf Club, our demo club, in its own Tuvabook app. James's Saturday round is booked, and the Club Championship is next. Your members would see your crest and your colours, and pay nothing to open it.

What BRS Golf costs, according to clubs

BRS doesn't publish prices, and its website says nothing about paying in tee times. Clubs describe it differently. One club reported getting the software free in exchange for one tee time a day, sold as a GolfNow Hot Deal, and counted 282 tee times and 578 players booked that way in 2022. Another put the cost of giving up a fourball a day at around £12,000 a year in green fees. Deals vary and some clubs pay a licence fee instead, so check your own contract to see which kind you have.

BRS says more than 3,500 clubs in 14 countries use its tee sheet, and since 2020 its competitions have run through Golf Genius. Members book in the shared BRS Golf app, published by GolfNow (part of Versant since January 2026), which has 2.9 out of 5 from 533 ratings on the UK App Store as of October 2026. Whichever deal your club is on, the app carries GolfNow's name, and GolfNow decides what it does next.

Five things to check in your contract first

Do this before the committee meets. It tells you how much a move would save, and when you can make it.

  1. Any tee time commitment

    How many tee times a day you give up, which days and times, who sets the price they sell at, and whether you can change that before the term ends.

  2. Term and notice

    The renewal date and the notice period. Diary it, because missing it by a week can mean another full year.

  3. Your data on the way out

    A sample export of members, booking history and competition results, in a format another system can read, before you give notice.

  4. Card fees and payouts

    The rate on each card payment, who holds the money, and how long it takes to reach the club's bank.

  5. The members' app

    Whose name is on it, whether members pay for it, and what happens to their logins if you leave.

The other four options

Each of these is software a UK club could realistically run, described from vendor pages and trade press. For the two biggest, see Tuvabook vs ClubV1 and our intelligentgolf comparison.

ClubV1 (Club Systems)

Club Systems' main club system, covering membership, subscriptions and competitions. Club Systems says more than 2,000 clubs in the UK and Ireland use one or more of its packages, and it is owned by ClearCourse. Prices are on request. Since 12 January 2026, members have been moving from the ClubV1 Members Hub to the shared HowDidiDo app, which golfers pay for unless the club buys a licence.

intelligentgolf

A club system covering tee sheet, membership, handicaps and competitions. It had more than 500 customers when ClearCourse bought it in 2019, and ClearCourse has since bought Club Systems too, so the two share an owner. Prices are on request. Members use the igMember app today, and The Golf Business reported in March 2026 that intelligentgolf clubs would move to HowDidiDo "in the coming months".

Golfmanager

A cloud system covering the tee sheet and membership. Golf trade press reported in 2026 that it works with more than 25 UK golf facilities and over 400 golf businesses worldwide. Prices are on request. Members book through Golfmanager's own app.

GolfTap

A club system built in Ireland, covering member, guest and visitor bookings, with rules that keep member and visitor play apart. It prices per member, with an online estimator that emails you the exact figure, plus 1% of the green fee revenue it processes. Clubs with more than 1,000 members get a tailored quote. Members book through GolfTap's own app.

Questions secretaries ask us

How much does BRS Golf cost?

BRS Golf doesn't publish prices. Clubs report getting the software free in exchange for one tee time a day, sold as a GolfNow Hot Deal, and one club put a fourball a day at around £12,000 a year in green fees. Deals vary, and BRS's own website doesn't mention this arrangement, so check your own contract for any tee time commitment. Tuvabook is £149 a month for a single club, with no setup fee and no tee times taken as payment.

Is ClubV1 cheaper than BRS Golf?

Neither publishes prices, so get written quotes from both. Add the members' app to the sum: since 12 January 2026, ClubV1 members have been moving to the HowDidiDo app, which costs golfers £2.99 a year with adverts or £9.99 without, unless the club pays £1,400 a year for a licence.

Who owns BRS Golf?

BRS Golf is part of GolfNow, which moved from Comcast into Versant, a newly listed media company, when Comcast completed the Versant spin-off in January 2026.

Will we lose our handicap records if we leave BRS Golf?

No. Handicap records sit with your national body's WHS system, not the booking software, so members keep their index. With Tuvabook, members add their CDH ID and index in the app, and we use those for competition entry and handicap limits, so your handicap system carries on just as it does now.

When is the best time to switch?

Over the winter, once the main competition season ends and before subs renewal. The course is quiet, so the switch costs nothing in bookings, and members have the new app on their phones before the spring rush. We move your tee sheet, prices and members across for you, and you're live within three weeks of signing.

Keep every tee time and every green fee.

In 30 minutes we'll show you your club's own app, working on your tee sheet, and walk you through how we move your members and bookings across from BRS.
