Bagroom Basics logo

Bag room software for private clubs

Streamline your workflow.
Impress your members.

Created by Experienced Bag Room Managers for a Premier Club Experience. Your tee sheet builds the pull list, every bag and cart has a spot, and staff know a member has arrived before they reach the bag drop.

Patent Pending

Works with tee sheet exports fromJonasClubEssentialForeTeesClub ProphetLightspeedNorthstar

The problem

Most bag rooms still run on a paper chart and a radio.

The tee sheet and the bag room don't talk.

Staff find out who's playing when the member pulls up. Bags get pulled late, or pulled for the wrong time, and the morning starts behind.

Finding one bag takes too long.

Hundreds of bags and carts tracked on a paper chart or from memory. Every lookup is a walk through the racks while someone waits.

Members notice the wait.

Radio calls, a line at the drop, a cart that isn't staged. For a member paying dues, that's the first impression of the day.

Bagroom Basics runs the morning from the tee sheet to the bag drop, so your crew works ahead of the day instead of chasing it.

Backed by research

The member retention problem.

Members are paying more than ever, so they expect more than ever. Clubs that invest in technology and a personalized member experience are better positioned to keep members and protect their reputation.

4to5%

Typical annual member attrition, with the industry bracing for it to climb as the post-pandemic wave of new members turns over.

0%

Turnover seen at smaller clubs, the ones working hardest to keep every member.

How Bagroom Basics helps

  • Tee sheet upload, so bags are staged before members arrive
  • A member app for instant check-in and requests
  • Real-time GPS tracking for proactive, anticipatory service
  • A white-glove experience that keeps members coming back

01Tee times

Your tee sheet builds the pull list.

Upload the morning's tee sheet from the system you already use. Every player is matched to their bag and sorted by tee time, so the crew knows what to pull and when it needs to be at the drop.

02Bag room

Every bag and cart has a place, and you can find it.

Your racks, rows, and cart storage are laid out the way your bag room actually looks. Search a name and the slot lights up. When a new member joins, every open slot is one click away.

03Valet

Staff know a member is here before they reach the drop.

When a member checks in or asks for their bag, the bag drop sees it instantly with the member's slot number. Bags are staged, carts are ready, and nobody is waiting on a radio call.

04Pace of play

See who's on pace without leaving the bag room.

Each golfer is tracked hole by hole from the moment they tee off, against a target your club sets. Their pin on the live map turns green, yellow, or red, so staff can plan around the turn and step in early.

05Member app

White-glove service from the member's phone.

Members check in and request their bag or cart from their phone. It gives your members a reason to notice the bag room for the right reasons.

By the numbers

Measured in a working bag room.

These numbers come from our founding club, not a slide deck. Every bag and cart off a paper chart, and minutes back on every pull that add up over a season.

Time savings are a conservative estimate from our own bag room measurements. Season hours assume 70 bags a day over 220 operating days.

Why we built this

We built it from the bag room floor.

Created by Experienced Bag Room Managers for a Premier Club Experience.

Bagroom Basics started behind the counter, not in a boardroom. We've worked the bag room at a private club: pulling bags off the tee sheet before sunrise, hunting through the racks while a member waits at the drop, and keeping the storage chart current by hand.

The software clubs already had was built for the pro shop or the tee sheet. None of it was built for the people carrying the bags. So we built the tool we wanted on a busy Saturday morning, and we tested it where it has to work: in a working bag room, with real members.

We're a small team, and that's on purpose. When your staff asks for something, you'll be talking to the people who build it.

“This app is amazing! It's so much faster and easier than our old system.”
Kevin Kehl/Eagle's Nest Country Club Outside Services
“Finding golf bags and push carts is instant! It makes our club look far more professional and our staff loves it too!”
Ben Austin/PGA Professional
“Members noticed the improvement immediately. It's a must-have for any course running a bagroom.”
