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 full TeeWire rate card is published, from $149 a month, with no long term agreement, 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 and contract terms, what the corporate record says about ownership, and what the published mechanics are for moving 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 rather than gating it behind a sales call. Tee Sheet Only is $149 per month for 9 hole courses, $179 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. Adding the TeeWire Golf POS is $150 per month on top of any tee sheet plan.
Annual billing saves 10%, and that discount cannot be combined with other discounts. The honest limit on published pricing is this: event registration, lesson scheduling, the online store, the website package, kitchen display and email marketing are all posted on the pricing page now, so the full basket can be added up before a call. Waitlist and dynamic pricing are the two still quoted per course.
There are no long term agreements and a course can cancel anytime. 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 come across in five days, and course staff spend roughly two hours in total across those five days.
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 as a division of CourseLogix, which 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
TeeWire publishes a dedicated section on moving a course off foreUP, so these mechanics are not invented for this comparison. The move is essentially a data transfer plus a tee sheet rebuild, it is included with the subscription, and the published timeline is five days from a signed contract to a live booking page on the course's own domain, assuming the course can provide the source system export or credentials on Day 1.
- Customer records, booking history, deposit balances and gift card balances export from foreUP and import into TeeWire
- The tee sheet is rebuilt in TeeWire to match the course's existing configuration so staff see a familiar layout on day one
- The register, the tee sheet and the ledger are configured together at go-live by the same TeeWire team
- Email templates and confirmation flows are rebuilt to match the existing customer experience
- Reporting parity is verified before go-live so the course monthly numbers stay continuous rather than restarting
- No downtime: the old system keeps taking bookings until cutover, TeeWire runs in parallel for the final day, and at go-live the new system takes over without a gap
- Course staff spend roughly two hours in total across the five days: a kickoff call, a tee sheet review and two training sessions
TeeWire does the migration itself, at no charge. Tee sheet templates, historical bookings, customer records, pricing rules and gift card balances come across in five days. The full day-by-day timeline is on the switching to TeeWire page, and the subscription rate card is published in full on the pricing page.
TeeWire vs foreUP: FAQ
What is the difference between TeeWire and foreUP?
TeeWire is golf course software built by TeeWire: tee sheet, point of sale, online tee time booking, waitlist, text messaging, email marketing, event registration, member billing, a double entry general ledger with a push to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop, and golf course website design. foreUP is a golf course software platform that was bought by Clubessential in 2021 and folded into Xplor Golf and Club in 2026. On the commercial side, TeeWire posts its full subscription rate card publicly, starting at $149 a month, takes no commissions and trades no tee time inventory, requires no long term agreement, and does the migration itself at no charge. TeeWire's development and customer support teams are 100% U.S. based and in-house, and the people who answer know golf operations rather than only the software. What foreUP charges and how it staffs its teams are foreUP's to publish, and this page does not guess at either.
How much does TeeWire cost compared to foreUP?
TeeWire publishes its prices rather than gating them behind a sales call. Tee Sheet Only is $149 per month for a 9 hole course, $179 for 18 holes, $235 for 27 holes and $285 for 36 holes, and every plan includes both the cloud based tee sheet and the online booking engine. Adding the TeeWire Golf POS is $150 per month on top of any tee sheet plan. Billing runs 12 months a year with a 10% discount for annual billing, which cannot be combined with other discounts. There is no setup fee and no migration fee. Most optional add-on modules are posted on the pricing page. foreUP does not publish a comparable rate card, so ask them for pricing in writing and compare it against the figures above.
How hard is it to switch from foreUP to TeeWire?
Five days from a signed contract to a live booking page on the course's own domain, with a dedicated migration lead doing the work. TeeWire publishes a day by day timeline and a dedicated section covering the move from foreUP. Course staff spend roughly two hours in total across those five days: a kickoff call, a tee sheet review and two training sessions. The tee sheet is rebuilt in TeeWire to match the course's existing configuration so staff see a familiar layout on day one. Migration is included with the subscription, with no separate migration fee, no setup fee and no per record data import charge.
Will I lose my customer history if I move from foreUP to TeeWire?
No. Customer records, booking history, deposit balances and gift card balances export from foreUP and import into TeeWire. Records are not dropped to fit a target schema, so reporting continuity works from day one and the course's monthly numbers stay comparable across the switch rather than restarting at zero. A migration lead owns the export, the import and the verification, and reporting parity is checked before go-live rather than discovered afterwards.
Is there downtime when a course switches to TeeWire?
No. The old system keeps taking bookings right up until cutover, TeeWire runs in parallel for the final day so staff can compare the two side by side, and at go-live the new system takes over without a gap in booking availability. Golfers do not see an outage and the course does not lose a tee time to the transition. Existing online booking links can be redirected to the new TeeWire booking page so customer bookmarks keep working.
Who owns foreUP?
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. Ownership history is drawn from the companies' own public announcements, and ownership and product lineups change, so confirm current ownership directly with the vendor. TeeWire launched in 2016 and operates as one company with CourseLogix, which has built golf course software and websites since 2005.
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. 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. A double entry general ledger with a ledger push to QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop. And golf course website design and hosting from the same company, so the book now button and the rates on the page match the system behind them. Most optional add-on modules are posted on the pricing page. Waitlist and dynamic pricing are the two we still quote per course.
