President Sports Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Waterloo Country Club foreUP Review" February 8, 2024 4.0 Up until the last few months it was difficult to get response from account manager but since \[sensitive content hidden\] has been our rep, things are much much better Pros F&B, billing, reporting, Sales and Inventory meet our needs but could be improved; Membership Customer module and Online Portal need to be upgraded dramatically to serve our needs. Product improvement requests have been submitted for the billing module as well. Cons Marketing, Online Portal capability, membership, billing statements; see product improvement requests that have been submitted over the last 20 months Review Source sB scott B. owner Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The Foreup system has been great for our business. It is easy to use, always up and always working." December 14, 2017 5.0 added visibility to my business. Pros We use the Foreup system mostly for point of sale. The system was easy to setup. Their support site had articles that answered most of the questions I had while setting it up. For answers I couldn't find, the support staff was great in helping me figure it out. I was a little nervous about using a cloud based system. Not having everything under control and worrying about always having a connection was a concern. But, the system has always been up and working. We have never had a moment of down time. The POS part of the system is very easy to use. It didn't take much time for my staff to become comfortable with it. We had switched from a standard cash register. We were able to easily implement a season pass program. Foreup handles it well and the setup wasn't difficult. We were converting from a paper process. The system handles gift cards without using any 3rd party vendors to track and maintain gift card balances. Its all handled internally now. Being an absentee owner it has been very helpful to be able to monitor my sales and other transaction remotely from any location in the world. I can check on sales periodically during the day. I can check the Cash Drawer reports. I can configure new items, update pricing, and all other configuration items off site. In the past I would have to be on site or on the phone with employees to take these things. They are good at taking suggestions and enhancement requests and making the changes. Cons Easily checking or tracking sales made to a specific customer doesn't work very well. If I select a customer in the sales and ring up a sale for that customer. It is not easy to see that transaction for the customer. If the customer were to call to discuss a transaction it is not easily accessible. The invoicing module is not flexible to do the things we need. Creating the invoice initially is easy. But, we need the ability to change an invoice after it has been sent to a customer. Sometimes pricing needs to be changed, notes on lines need to be modified, or sometimes we need to add a new line or cancel a line. Voiding a payment to an invoice so it can be reapplied to another invoice or just left as a credit on the customer's account is not straight forward. Sales tax is calculate at the line level instead of the order level. The sales tax is setup at the item level rather than at the location level.

This comes in handy when I am not at the course and we have an issue that needs to be addressed immediately. The second is the easy user interface. The layouts and design of the POS system make it extremely easy for new employees to pick up and learn the system quickly. The third is that the company is constantly making improvements based on the suggestions and concerns from the courses using the product. Cons There are only two issues that I have with the POS system. I would like to point out that neither of these items are an issue but more of an inconvenience at times. The first is the fact that it is cloud based. If the course looses internet access due to a storm we are sitting ducks. We do have a backup plan in case this happens so again not a huge issue and really can't be fixed. The second is the fact that updates seem to occur during operating hours for us and can cause issues with our system during busy times of the day. We are usually able to resolve these issues quickly so again more of an inconvenience than a major concern.

While this has added some personal responsibility in regards to collecting and using the data, it has freed us up to use it in ways that are most beneficial to our own business. Fore Up has been so supportive throughout the entire process. Calls are returned very quickly and solutions provided. Pros Fore Up checks all the boxes when it comes to the varied needs of golf course operations. Built with extensive input from operators of a multitude of different types of golf facilities their software is the most user friendly and functional software ever to hit the market. Intuitive tee sheet, customer data collection, social media interfaces, cloud based operating system, golf shop inventory management, member billing and accounts, and back end reporting that is customizable to any needs. What I like most however is that the Executives of Fore Up are never satisfied with their current offerings. They are constantly looking to improve things, working with their clients to meet the multitude of needs golf facilities require in an ever changing industry. Cons Not applicable. There is nothing I do not like about this company or software functionality. Review Source Response from Clubessential Holdings February 19, 2019 What a great review, thank you! We'll continue to be dedicated to living up to your kind testimonial. It's so nice to know that our commitment to always improving is seen and felt by people working with us. We also love what you said about being in control of your own data; it's more important than ever, and at the forefront of our mind as we build new tools and improve existing ones. We're so grateful to work with you! Amanda P. Marketing Coordinator Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Software For New Users" September 27, 2019 5.0 Pros How easy it is to: 1. Check-in golfers. 2. Send emails to users. 3. How we can send user's information if they need an invoice. 4. We love how clean it is verse CyberGolf. 5. Book tee-times! People call us less and book online more which save a lot of time for us if we have a ton of people checking in. 6. I love how we can send emails with the templates. 7. So much support! We're able to contact your team whenever we need you asap. Cons \-We are a 36-hole golf course and a few of the golfers have said that when booking tee-times, golfers have complained that they have to switch back and forth and start all over when they choose a course (The North or South Course). -I wish there were a few more templates for emails and a little more easy to create the perfect email. I like to move things/photos and place them where I want them to be rather than just drag a photo on the screen. -There are numerous features that we would benefit from since we're a 36-hole course and I wish our someone told us all of the ones we'd benefit from. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Information Systems Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Implementing foreUP at 9 Golf Courses" September 18, 2020 5.0 Overall, the implementation went well, given that it occurred in a very short timeframe and our foreUP account manager changed part of the way through the implementation process. (Our first course went live on the system in November and the other 8 courses went live in January and February!) The training was done virtually, which worked, but many of our staff probably would have preferred more traditional onsite training, which was not in our budget. But our foreUP account manager went above and beyond to conduct multiple training sessions, even over the same topics if needed, to insure that everyone had the opportunity to participate, ask questions, etc. Likewise, we still have regular monthly sessions to give staff the opportunity to bring up issues or ask questions in order to insure that everyone is using the software as efficiently and effectively as possible. Pros The fact that the software is web based was one of the key factors in choosing it. It is nice not having to worry about purchasing, maintaining and supporting servers in rural areas. Also, the ability to move back to an integrated credit card payment process was the biggest key factor. Cons There is currently no interface to the gift card system we use, so that still remains a separate/standalone process. Also, there is currently no interface to any property management systems, so we don't have the ability to charge golf course purchases back to our guests' lodge rooms at the park any longer (which we had with the previous system). Lastly, I understand it is in development, but the ability to track sales related to multiple promotions or percentage off coupons is not available. Review Source Kyle W. Head Golf Professional and Merchandiser Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Looking for intuitive, efficient POS Software? You found it." February 5, 2019 5.0 We needed a serious facelift for our POS software in 2016. I wanted to move away from server-based systems, but we had serious limitations with our bandwidth. Not only has foreUP fit the bill with a cloud-based POS platform, we've been able to effectively run the software at a lower-than-recommended bandwidth (2ish Mbps). It's also given us the ability to keep track of our large membership base, track their rounds, update new memberships each year without rebuilding an entire database. On top of that, its made record-keeping simpler because new staff is able to quickly pick up the software and as a result, make fewer mistakes. Pros System framework is familiar looking and intuitive for the computer-savvy, Google-minded generation. Searchability and ease of access make training new staff simple and less time-consuming. The software, and the design team itself, is constantly evolving and changes are frequent and effective. Making updates or solving issues, in most cases, is easy to do on the back end, without giving up the features we MUST have on a daily basis. Cons Reports are still missing some of the really special information-aggregation I'm looking for. It would be nice to have a suite of applications designed specifically for tournament accounts/information/record-keeping. Review Source RS Rick S. General manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pillow Springs " February 6, 2024 2.0 DMS was great. The tee sheet and POS was okay. Support was lousy. 2 stars at best Pros Marketing team was excellent and very attentive Cons Customer service poor and unreliable. Customer service manager/rep non existent Switched from [Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) Customer service was bad and too expensive Review Source OM Orlando M. Pro Shop Supervisor Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "New Beginings" February 13, 2024 4.0 We are still learning the different capabilities of the ForeUp programing. But for the most part it has been working very well for me and for our staff. Pros ForeUp has provided the general public to book tee times on line. Cons ForeUp does not consistently recognize our different options for price changes at different times of the day. Review Source ML MARK L. Assistant PGA Professional Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ForeUP POS cloud based golf software program." September 13, 2020 4.0 The overall experience has been very positive with ForeUP. Being a municipality, we have certain requirements that we must adhere to with our City Hall accounting. For example, out accounting team needed a report that broke down our departments sales based on if the customer paid with a credit card, cash, check, or gift card. Working with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] at ForeUP, he developed a report for our accounting team that gave them this exact report they require. Pros I like most about ForeUP is simply the many, many things it can do. The list is endless, but the highlights are: email marketing, online tee times, integrated app, etc. etc. Also, when we were looking at making the change to a new POS software system, they gave us a date that was estimated that we could "go live" with ForeUp and they hit that date with a few days to spare even. The education we got with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] to get to know the system before we "went live" was excellent. Cons A main part of my job personally is to input inventory and price the merchandise. Our previous software system had a dedicated label printer, with ForeUP you print out label sheets which takes more time than previously for me. Reason for choosing foreUP ForeUP checked the most boxes of what we needed. We went thru this change during our shutdown because of the Coronavirus. Our needs were: email marketing, paying online for green fees, integrating an app, and many many other needs. Simply put they checked the most boxes for us. Review Source CC Colby C.

They are always quick to respond and help in a moments notice. Can't think of a better partnership. Cons No complaints. They truly understand and want to help us be successful. Review Source Richard W. IT Administrator Sports Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Have not gone live yet" April 30, 2018 4.0 Pros Seems easier than Ezlink which I've used over 9 years. Appears some things in foreUP might be better than ezlink, but again we have not gone live. Cons It would have nice to have someone from foreUP actually show up at the golf course and load the programs and provide hands-on training. Instead, we have to figure out how to work the program from videos and a support person who does not always get back to you when needed, hence this is why we are not live yet. Review Source Response from Clubessential Holdings February 19, 2019 Hi Richard, It seems that your review got buried and was never responded to, please forgive us! I hope you were able to get the support you needed, after leaving your review. It's true that we don't provide onsite training in most circumstances, but your poor on-boarding experience is not the norm and I apologize sincerely. If you happen to see this, please feel free to reach out to me at amy@foreUP.com. I'd be very interested to hear about your experience so we can prevent it from happening to another course and ensure that your interactions with our software and our team have taken a more positive turn. Changing software is always a daunting task, and it should always be our team's goal to make it as painless as possible. We usually get very good feedback on this topic, so I'm especially sorry about your experience (and that this review was overlooked!) -Amy at foreUP MF Marc F.

Fundamental things that would be useful to many courses. Cons 9 hole pass utilization is not an option and is a huge impact to us.

Pros It is somewhat intuitive. It has great protentional falls short of realizing it by being cumbersome and inefficient. Cons This was not a module designed or looks like an Accounting Professional was even consulted. No where in the world is an open Receivable presented as a negative. Review Source ES Elisha S. GM Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fast growing" September 17, 2020 4.0 Friendly and organized Reps that are ready and willing to help you make the profits that we need. Pros It's easy to use for first time users of POS system. Cons It can be overly flexible to the point that the user can make a mistake and not realize it. Alternatives considered [GolfNow for Business](https://www.capterra.com/p/177599/GolfNow-for-Business/) Reason for choosing foreUP I needed a cloud base product so that I can be mobile. GolfNow did not have that available. Switched from [Teesnap](https://www.capterra.com/p/151993/Teesnap/) The back of the house for the Teesnap program was too hard to keep track of and we were missing membership payments.

I have been really happy with all aspects of ForeUp. Pros Since moving over to ForeUp, managing my tee-sheet is much easier and more flexible. Inventory control and sales are also much easier than previous system. Cons To be honest I have not utilized the marketing features to what I am sure is the potential but have found this aspect of the software less user friendly than all other aspects. Reason for choosing foreUP Once presented with this system, I was sold and looked no further.... No need! Review Source DT Dave T. General Manager Sports Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Love ForeUp" September 3, 2020 5.0 ForeUp is a complete cloud-based POS, Tee Sheet, and Marketing product that has revolutionized our business. Being able to run and manage my business from anywhere at any time has maximized my efficiency. The support team is awesome and is quick to respond and help fix any issues we have. They are constantly improving the product and listen to the wants and needs of their customers. Pros I love the fact that ForeUp is cloud-based. I also love that it is an all in one solution to manage our golf course. With a POS, a Tee Sheet, a F&B module and a Marketing platform I couldn't be happier. Cons I am completely happy with ForeUp and I can't think of anything that I don't like.

Very user-friendly and their support team provides quick answers. Cons The only thing I pointed out to the support team when I want to compare sales LY vs. TL I couldn't print the format depicting the information. I had to export to excel each year's information to view the comparison. Review Source Joey C. Head Golf Professional Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "User friendly, innovative and efficient!" February 9, 2018 5.0 Customer reporting, online marketing, drag and drop accessibility and many more. Pros The fact that this software is web-based and easily accessible makes my job so much easier, no matter where I am at. Any aspect of the software is available from all of my devices so I can manage the business and look at reporting at any time. Cons The online connectivity and system updates can sometimes interrupt daily usage of the software but this has been a very infrequent issue that is typically resolved in a very efficient manner.

Pros Many features that a course should have bot on the course side and on the food and beverage side. The new marketing platform is a major upgrade. Cons I bet they have everything a course needs, but finding the features are difficult. Hard to find the features, bad UI. Thank goodness their support is excellent. Review Source NW Nick W.

ForeUp met this goal and saved us considerable money vs our old outdated software. Pros For day to day operations, it really runs smoothly and easily. It's fairly easy to train new employees on it and there is a lot coming in the way of new development that looks promising. Cons Reporting features could still use some love. Usually I pull the report that's closest to what I need, and export to Excel to find the easiest way to manipulate the data.

November 29, 2017 5.0 Pros Responsive and helpful support team. Overall FANTASTIC customer service. The most important functions (tee-sheet and sales screen) work consistently and quickly. Straightforward interface that is easy to learn. Regular updates to the software. Cons Some features are a little limited. One or two of the updates ended up being a downgrade in quality. Review Source Response from Clubessential Holdings November 30, 2017 Hi Grant, thank you so much for leaving a review! We're so happy to hear about your overall experience with foreUP. I spoke to our Product Owner and he had some interesting insight in regard to the updates that resulted in limited functionality¿which I'm sorry to hear you've experienced¿that you'll find useful. We're going to shoot you an email, or we'd love to jump on the phone if that's best for you. Our goal is to provide one simple software that does everything you need it to in order to streamline your operations, and your feedback is so valuable. Thank you, again! Time is a precious thing, and we're so grateful you took some of yours to leave us a review. ~Amy at foreUP TL Travis L. Club Manager Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Rice Lake Golf & Country Club" October 7, 2020 5.0 Our experience has been nothing short of fantastic from the original sales pitch, to setup, implementation, training, on-boarding and putting the product into our daily work function. I have been extremely pleased with the software and how it fits our needs perfectly. Pros The customer database and Marketing platform has been a vast improvement to previous models used. It's simple and effective! Cons Only having the ability to have (3) inventory item category buttons on the sales screen is not ideal. With the amount of items we have in our system, we end up scrolling down often to select sales items. Reason for choosing foreUP We were able to get basically the same functionality of the others we looked at, at a fraction of the cost. The daily trade tee time that covers the operating costs of ForeUP is the most cost effective solution for us. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
