Golf Course Technology RFPs

Smarter Tech Decisions for Golf Course Operations

Every golf course and country club has different needs. As a vendor-neutral partner, smbGOLF runs a structured RFP process that cuts through the sales noise, so you choose the right tee sheet, POS or booking engine and pay the right price for it.

Not just for municipal courses

Think RFPs Are Just for Munis? Think Again.

We built an RFP process that works just as well for privately owned golf courses, management companies and equity country clubs. Small business or large club, we keep it simple, fast and effective.

We write and manage RFPs for everything from tee sheets and POS systems to booking engines, mobile apps and more.

What we write RFPs for

Every System That Touches the Golfer

Tee Sheets

Pace, rules, rates and the daily workflow your staff lives in.

Booking Engines

Online booking, Reserve with Google and distribution.

POS Systems

Pro shop, restaurant and inventory in one view.

Mobile Apps

Golfer-facing apps, GPS and on-course ordering.

Food & Beverage

Kitchen, bar and on-course F&B operations.

Payments

Processing rates, hardware and contract terms.

CRM & Marketing

Email, SMS, memberships and golfer data.

Membership & Club Management

Billing, dues, accounts and member portals.

How it works

A Structured Process, Start to Signed Contract

No guesswork and no endless demo cycles. Four steps take you from “we need something better” to a decision you can stand behind.

01

Discovery Call

We learn how your course runs today, what is working, what isn’t, and what the next system has to do.

02

Requirements & RFP

We turn that into a clear RFP and send it to the vendors that actually fit your operation.

03

Compare Responses

We organize responses and demos so you score every vendor on the same criteria, side by side.

04

Negotiate & Decide

We use real market pricing data to negotiate terms, then help you make a confident decision.

FAQ

Questions Operators Ask Us

Don’t see yours? Bring it to a call.

Yes. Our process is built for privately owned courses, management companies and equity clubs, not just municipal courses. We scale it to the size of the decision, so a single-course owner gets the same structure without the bureaucracy.

It depends on the scope of the project, and in some cases there is no cost to the course at all. We’ll walk you through it on the first call before any work starts.

Most of the timeline is vendor response and demo windows. We set the schedule with you on the first call, built around your season, staff availability and current contract dates.

No. smbGOLF is vendor-neutral. Our recommendation is based on what fits your operation, your budget and the rest of your technology stack.

Yes. Many courses start with a review of their current tools: what they pay, what they actually use and where the gaps are. That alone often surfaces savings or features already included in your contract.

Tee sheets, booking engines, POS, mobile apps, food and beverage, payments, CRM and marketing, and membership or club management. If it touches your golfers or your revenue, we can scope it.

Vendor-neutral. Course-first.
