Golfmanager Changelog - May 2025

These are the improvements that are already available for you in Golfmanager.

Updated this week

Golfmanager is dedicated to enhancing your management experience. Every week, we introduce exciting new features designed to empower you. Stay informed and make the most of these innovations! 🙌


📆 Bookings Module

➕ Custom Extras by Booking type

A new setting now allows you to control which extras are displayed to players based on the main booking type. This helps avoid mismatches (e.g., offering an 18-hole buggy on a 9-hole booking) and reduces duplicate options. When enabled, only extras explicitly linked to the booking type will be displayed.


👥 CRM Module

🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 Family Units and Relationship Management

You can now define family units and add related members (such as children or spouses) directly from a customer’s profile. This enables clearer reporting and listings grouped by family.

When the Family Members module is installed, a “Family” field is added to the customer’s main tab. Golfmanager automatically manages relationships as new members are added, streamlining organisation and data analysis by family group.


📩 New “Latest emails” option in the client action menu

You can now quickly access the email history sent from Golfmanager, filtered by the selected client’s email address. This new feature, available in the client action menu, makes it easier to track communications and improves customer support.


🛍️ POS Module

💲 Tip Management Configuration

Tip handling can now be enabled directly from the POS, recording tips automatically, with fixed amounts or suggested percentages. You can also choose whether to include them on the final bill.

Set-up involves creating a dedicated tip product, linking it to the POS, and defining preset percentages. Golfmanager adds the selected amount to the sale total, ensuring centralised, fully traceable tip records.


💰 Billing Module

🔗 Payment link send date now logged in sale details

Golfmanager now automatically records the date a payment link is sent within the sale details. This improvement enhances traceability, helping you keep a better track of payment-related actions across your sales.


🎟️ Add a discount coupon to a sale

You can now manually assign an identifier coupon to a sale via the POS, useful for bookings linked to tour operators. The coupon is stored with the sale and included on the invoice template, helping streamline invoice reconciliation.


✨ Add-on Modules

🍽️ Digital Kitchen: Automatic dish firing based on order availability

Improved logic now lets Golfmanager automatically detect which course to send to the kitchen when tapping “Send to kitchen”. If no starters are available, the system will fire mains; desserts will be sent if there are no mains. This streamlines service and reduces manual steps.


📄 Forms: Attach files directly within forms

A new question type is now available in forms, allowing users to upload files as part of their response. Ideal for collecting supporting documents such as IDs, proof of status, or family records directly through the form.


📆 Online Booking Portal

🔔 Alerts for Players in the Booking Area

You can now create and manage multiple alerts visible to players when booking online or via the app. Each alert can include custom text, start and end dates, and a display priority.

This feature makes it easy to notify users about important updates, such as course maintenance or other disruptions, in a timely and clear manner.

Optionally, select a specific resource type within this area to display the form only for that type.

📆 Bookings Module

  • Search participants by membership number when booking: You can now search for players using their membership number when making a booking. This feature is available for both single and group reservations, helping staff quickly and accurately identify members during participant selection.

👥 CRM Module

  • Automatic reinstatement of cancelled memberships: A new feature allows you to automatically reinstate former members by selecting one or more cancelled fees (due to temporary or permanent withdrawal) and a reinstatement date. The system will set this date as the end of the previous fee and generate a new one of the same type starting from that date.

🛍️ POS Module

  • Automatic Customer Assignment in the POS: Golfmanager now improves how customers are linked to sales in the POS to ensure more accurate records. When accessing the POS from a booking, it will attempt to assign a customer to the cart automatically based on context. If all items and bookings relate to one customer, the cart is created in their name; otherwise, it’s left unassigned.

  • Membership type now visible in read-only mode in the POS pop-up: You can now view a customer’s membership type directly from the POS pop-up, in read-only mode. This helps staff quickly confirm fee details during transactions without needing to access the full profile.

💰 Invoicing Module

  • Direct Debit Return Management in Q19: You can now manually mark direct debit payments as returned from within Q19, with full control over whether they will be reissued, cancelled, or linked to the removal of an associated fee.

    When marked as returned, the system automatically generates a negative charge and flags the invoice as unpaid. (Read More)

  • Bulk Return Processing via Q19 File Upload: You can now upload Q19 files to process multiple direct debit returns in one go. The system allows you to review a summary of detected returns and apply actions such as reissuing, cancelling mandates, removing associated fees, or adding return charges. (Read More)

  • Invoice export to Kritter SII (.CSV) now available: The Billing module now includes an option to export issued invoices in .CSV format compatible with the Kritter SII accounting system. This streamlines accounting processes, reduces manual errors, and improves operational efficiency.

🎓 School Module

📦 Warehouse Module

  • Notes field is now mandatory when regularising a product from the stock list: The Notes field is now required when regularising a product from the stock list.

🍽️ Restaurant Module

  • New Tools in the Right-Hand Panel of the Restaurant Table Map: You can now switch between different maps, enter edit mode to move or rename items, filter bookings by status, and search by guest name. The panel also shows detailed booking info — including guest, time, table, total bill, and party size — and provides direct shortcuts to open the POS or cancel the booking. (Read More)

  • Send Orders to Kitchen From the Table Map: Dishes can now be sent to the kitchen directly from the table map, eliminating the need for staff to walk over. Clicking a table opens a quick menu where you can choose to “Send first dishes”, updating the booking status instantly and displaying it in the right-hand panel. (Read More)

📊 Reports Module

  • Improved Cash Closure Report – Product, Family, and Subfamily Breakdown: The POS cash closure process now includes a detailed report that shows not only total takings but also a full breakdown by product, family, and subfamily. This enhancement improves daily auditing, helps identify errors, and supports better sales analysis.

  • Restaurant Covers Report: Managers can now access a detailed breakdown of guest numbers per outlet, with data grouped by month, day, and service. This provides clearer insights into dining trends across each restaurant.

  • Stock Ageing Report: Helps identify slow-moving or obsolete stock by categorising inventory by days in storage—ideal for refining purchasing and promotional strategies.

  • Bookings by OTAs and Period Report: Analyse bookings by service type and OTA over time, offering a clearer picture of revenue distribution and agency performance.

  • Unpaid Subscriptions Report: Easily track overdue member payments, including outstanding amounts and benefit restrictions. Exportable in PDF or Excel formats.

⚙️ Settings Module

  • RAW Socket Printing Support on Android and Windows: You can now use the same printer setup in Golfmanager across both Android and Windows devices, thanks to RAW Socket protocol support. This unified configuration standardises how data is sent to the printer, removing the need for OS-specific printer names.

📅 Online Booking Portal

  • Date Range Filter in Listings: A new date range filter has been added to listings, allowing you to narrow down search results based on a specific time period, such as past or upcoming bookings.

  • Option to Hide Players in Online Activities: A new setting allows you to hide the list of registered players in online activities. This improves participant privacy and gives you greater control over what information is visible on the platform.

  • Group booking interface improvements: Redundant buttons have been removed, and the date and time have been reorganised for better clarity, now appearing next to the relevant day. A visual separator was added for readability, and bookings can now be named—this label will be visible if the booking is managed by a tour operator.

  • Enhancements in the “Join In” section:

    • Maximum preview setting now available for Join In Online.

    • Min/max handicap and point limits can now be set.

    • Custom title and date options added for each booking.

🔗 Other Integrations

  • Manage RFEG licences from the customer profile: When the Federation Licences module is installed, a new tab appears in the customer profile allowing manual entry of licence details such as number, handicap, and points. You can also configure resources to require a valid licence and/or handicap for online booking, strengthening access control to sports facilities.
