A CourtReserve alternative

core.club vs
CourtReserve

court booking & club management software

CourtReserve is a purpose-built choice for racquet and facility clubs, and it’s deep where it counts: court reservations, memberships, scheduling, events, clinics, and now leagues, ladders and tournaments, all through a native member app. If courts are the heart of your club, it was made for you. core.club covers the same reservation, membership and competition ground for any kind of club, adds member-to-member chat, and lets you switch features on per club. It starts free rather than on a fixed subscription.

Frequently asked

Is core.club a good CourtReserve alternative?+

Yes. Both handle court booking, memberships, and leagues and ladders. core.club works for any club rather than only racquet, lets members message each other, and starts free instead of a fixed subscription.

What does CourtReserve do that core.club does not?+

CourtReserve has a pro-shop point-of-sale with inventory tracking and dynamic peak-demand court pricing. core.club charges flat reservation prices and has no retail POS, so a club running a pro shop or surge pricing will get more from CourtReserve.

Yes. Reservations, classes, leagues and ladders all live in one app, and a club turns on exactly the pieces it needs.
