TeeWire vs foreUP, compared on what each company puts in writing.
Choose TeeWire if you want the price before the sales call, a migration TeeWire does itself at no charge, and a U.S. based team that knows golf operations answering the phone. The TeeWire rate card is published, from $179 a month, with no commissions and no tee time inventory traded. foreUP does not publish a comparable rate card, so ask for one in writing and put it next to these figures.
How to read this page
If your course runs foreUP today, that was a rational decision and this page does not start from the position that you got it wrong. It compares the two on the things a shortlisting owner can actually verify: what is posted publicly about pricing, what the corporate record says about ownership, and what it takes to move a course across.
This page is not symmetrical, and it should not pretend to be. TeeWire documents its own side in detail because it is our software and we can be held to every line of it. The foreUP column contains only two kinds of cell: matters of public corporate record, and the words Not published. Not published means the capability is not documented on the vendor's public site at the time of this comparison. It is not a claim that foreUP lacks it, and it is not a statement about how foreUP's software works, what it costs, or how it staffs support. foreUP may well do the thing and simply not document it publicly. Products and companies both change, so confirm current capabilities, pricing and terms directly with foreUP before you decide anything.
TeeWire and foreUP side by side
Only rows where a course owner would actually make a decision are here. Where the two models genuinely match, this page says so rather than manufacturing a gap: TeeWire's own published comparison records no commissions for TeeWire and for subscription platforms alike, so commission is a difference against barter marketplaces, not against a SaaS competitor.

The TeeWire column describes TeeWire's own product and terms. The foreUP column reflects only what foreUP documents on its public site as of August 2026, plus matters of public corporate record. "Not published" means the capability is not documented publicly and is not a claim that it is absent. Products and terms change, so confirm current capabilities directly with foreUP before making a decision. Wider category context is on the how TeeWire compares page.
We sweat the small stuff
100% U.S. based development and support.
TeeWire is one of the few golf course tee sheet and POS platforms built and supported entirely in the United States. No offshore development. No overseas call center. The team writing the software and the team answering your calls are both here, and both know golf.
Developed in the USA
Every part of TeeWire is engineered in-house by a U.S. based team, not outsourced overseas. The people building your tee sheet and POS know how American courses run, so the product keeps moving in the direction your operation actually needs.
U.S. based support
When you call, a U.S. based team member answers, someone who knows golf and knows the product. No overseas queue, no scripted call center. Support is everything, and ours never leaves the country.
Your data stays with a U.S. team
Your revenue numbers and your golfers' personal information are handled by a U.S. based team under U.S. law, never sent offshore. As security and privacy expectations rise every year, where your data lives matters more than ever.
You talk to the people who build it
When your course needs something changed, you reach the people who write the code, not a queue that ends at a script. Much of this industry outsources development overseas, so the person on the phone has no line to the team that could actually fix it, and the request quietly stops there. At TeeWire the people answering and the people building sit in the same building, and the small things get fixed because somebody who can fix them heard about it.
Pricing differences between TeeWire and foreUP
TeeWire posts its rate card. Tee Sheet Only is $179 per month for 9 hole courses, $199 for 18 hole, $235 for 27 hole and $285 for 36 hole, and every plan includes both the online booking engine and the cloud based tee sheet. The tee sheet and the TeeWire Golf POS together are $279 a month for a 9 hole course, $299 for 18 holes, $360 for 27 holes and $435 for 36 holes.
Event registration, lesson scheduling, the online store, the website package, kitchen display, digital gift cards, the Rewards Program and email marketing are posted on the pricing page at each hole count. Reporting and staff management with the time clock are included in every plan at no extra charge, and accounting and the general ledger, inventory, food and beverage, and the beverage cart are included with the Golf POS at no extra charge. The waitlist and dynamic pricing publish a starting price and are quoted per course, and an operator running several courses in several places is quoted on the call for every line on the card.
Migration is included with the subscription, with no separate migration fee, no setup fee and no per record data import charge. TeeWire takes no commission on a booking and trades no tee time inventory for software, so the subscription is the whole cost. What foreUP charges is foreUP's to publish, and this page does not guess at it. Ask them for a written quote and put it next to the figures above.
What TeeWire includes for counter staff day to day
The people who use this software all day are not IT staff. They are whoever is at the counter on a Saturday morning with a foursome waiting. TeeWire is one login and one place to look, and it is simple enough for counter staff to learn in a shift, so nobody has to remember which screen holds which answer.
The modules courses ask about most are part of it. A tee time waitlist that alerts golfers when a matching slot opens. Text messaging for confirmations, reminders and weather calls. Email marketing to the course's own golfer list. Online event registration for outings, leagues and clinics, with online payment and a seat held while a registrant is checking out.
Underneath, a double entry general ledger pushes to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop so the month end numbers are not re-keyed by hand. And the course website is designed and hosted by the same company, so the book now button and the rates on the page match the system behind them.
How TeeWire is built as one system
TeeWire is a golf management system built on a single database: tee sheet, point of sale, online tee time booking, member billing, a double entry general ledger and golf course website design, every part of it built by TeeWire rather than assembled from acquired or third-party systems.
What that buys a course in practice is this: the tee sheet and the register write to the same records rather than passing copies to each other, so a golfer's round and their grill spend are one line on one report because they are the same record, not two exports joined by name. Integrated and unified are not the same word. Most golf software is integrated. TeeWire is unified.
The part an owner actually feels is simpler than the architecture. Software, booking, payments and the course website come from the same place, so nobody points at another vendor when something needs attention on a Saturday.
Support and migration differences between TeeWire and foreUP
TeeWire's development and customer support teams are 100% U.S. based and in-house. The people who answer know golf operations, not just the software.
That shows up first during the move. TeeWire does the migration itself, at no charge. Tee sheet templates, historical bookings, customer records, pricing rules and gift card balances all come across, and course staff spend roughly two hours in total.
TeeWire customers can also speak directly with the founder rather than working through account manager tiers. How foreUP staffs its own development and support is not something this page asserts, because it is not something foreUP publishes. If it matters to your course, and it should, ask both vendors the question directly and get the answer in writing.
Who you are buying from: the foreUP corporate record
foreUP was bought by Clubessential in 2021 and folded into Xplor Golf and Club in 2026, alongside Clubessential, taskTracker and BlueGolf. Several of the names on the golf software market today are the result of one company buying another. That is public record, not a criticism. It is simply worth knowing who a course is actually buying from.
TeeWire
Built as one system from the start, by the people who still run it. TeeWire launched in 2016 and merged with CourseLogix in 2026 under the TeeWire name. CourseLogix has built golf course software and websites since 2005 from Clarkston, Michigan. More than 300 golf courses work with TeeWire today.
Ownership history is drawn from the companies' own public announcements. It is stated as record, not as criticism. Ownership and product lineups change, so confirm current ownership with the vendor.
Moving a course from foreUP to TeeWire
Moving from foreUP is something TeeWire does for you, and it is included with the subscription.
- TeeWire does the move for you, at no charge, and your staff spends about two hours on it
- Your customers, booking history, pricing and gift card balances come with you
- Golfers keep booking the whole way through, with zero downtime
TeeWire does the migration itself, at no charge, and your customers, history, pricing and gift card balances come with you. There is more on the switching to TeeWire page, and the subscription rate card is published in full on the pricing page.

Does TeeWire replace the point of sale too, or just the tee sheet?
Both, and they come from the same company. TeeWire builds its own golf course POS, so the register and the tee sheet write to the same records rather than passing copies to each other, and a golfer's round and their grill spend are one line on one report. One provider. One phone call. One company. Underneath the register is a real double entry general ledger with a golf chart of accounts, producing a trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, revenue by GL account, member A/R aging at 30, 60 and 90 days, and tax collected by class, and it pushes to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop so the month end numbers are not re-keyed by hand.
What does TeeWire include besides the tee sheet and the point of sale?
The modules courses ask about most are part of TeeWire. A tee time waitlist that alerts golfers when a matching slot opens. Text messaging for confirmations, reminders and weather calls.

A double entry general ledger with a ledger push to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop.
