Mill Valley, CA — Whoosh, Inc., a leading provider of modern operations software for golf, racquet and hospitality facilities, has been selected by Landscapes Golf Management to power its private clubs.

Landscapes Golf Management’s Lost Rail Golf Club (Gretna, NE), Lake Barrington Shores Golf Club (Lake Barrington, IL), Hillcrest Country Club (Lincoln, NE), and Dakota Dunes Country Club (Dakota Dunes, SD) are live with Whoosh.

The post WHOOSH SELECTED BY LANDSCAPES GOLF MANAGEMENT AS PREFERRED TEE SHEET AND OPERATIONS SOFTWARE PROVIDER FOR ITS PRIVATE CLUBS appeared first on The Golf Wire.

Mill Valley, CA   — Whoosh, Inc., a leading provider of modern operations software for golf, racquet and hospitality facilities, today announces a strategic integration with Priswing, an AI-powered dynamic pricing engine built for the golf industry. The integration allows public courses to automate pricing based on real-time demand, booking patterns, and lead time, helping maximize tee sheet revenue and eliminate manual rate adjustments.

By enabling the integration, operators can choose which rates they’d like to make dynamic directly within the Whoosh platform. Priswing then uses booking data to automatically push price updates—either in autopilot mode or via manual controls—matching selected rates in real time. This allows facilities to charge more when demand is high, offer discounts during slower times, and ultimately increase utilization while saving time and allowing operators to stay focused on delivering great guest experiences.

“Operators leave money on the table every day, and this integration helps to change that,” said Colin Read, Whoosh CEO and Co-Founder. “While dynamic pricing isn’t new, it’s rarely this accessible or this easy to manage. By bringing it directly into the Whoosh tee sheet, we’re giving public courses a powerful, automated way to boost revenue, without adding complexity.”

Priswing leverages machine learning to respond to real-time changes in market behavior by applying key historic data factors, enabling golf course operators to better align their pricing with demand. This technology provides actionable flexibility and pricing intelligence previously reserved for larger-scale resort operations, now easily accessible to public courses of all sizes.

“With Priswing, public facilities can now access intelligent pricing strategies that were once only available to large-scale resorts,” said Damien Lemarie, Co-Founder of Priswing. “The integration with Whoosh makes it simple to activate dynamic pricing, without changing how your staff works or how guests book.”

Staff can easily see both the dynamic price and the booked rate for any tee time, giving them control while reducing operational lift. Early beta testers are already seeing improvements in utilization and topline revenue.

“Within the first few weeks, we saw a noticeable increase in revenue during high-demand hours, and more activity in our slower periods thanks to strategic discounts,” said Mike Longyear, General Manager of PohlCat. “Priswing’s AI handles the rate adjustments automatically, and the fact that it’s all built into the Whoosh tee sheet makes it seamless for our staff.”

The Whoosh–Priswing integration offers public golf courses a timely solution for today’s revenue challenges:

• Maximize revenue by dynamically increasing rates when demand surges.
• Fill open slots and increase utilization with AI-driven discounts during low-demand periods.
• Unify booking and pricing in a single, intuitive tee sheet interface.
• Streamline operations with automated pricing updates, no manual workflows required.

To learn more about the Priswing integration or express interest in a demo, clubs are encouraged to contact their Whoosh representative or visit www.whoosh.io/contact.

The post LIGHTSPEED AND WHOOSH ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO ELEVATE PRIVATE GOLF CLUB OPERATIONS appeared first on The Golf Wire.

Mill Valley, CA – Whoosh, Inc., the leader in modern club operations software, has announced a new integration with RemoteLock, a leader in cloud-based access control solutions. This partnership enables facilities using both technologies to easily grant facility access to only those with a confirmed reservation, eliminating the need for manual key exchanges or physical check-ins.

RemoteLock’s universal access control platform integrates with leading smart lock brands and wired access hardware, ensuring secure and flexible access management for golf simulator facilities, sports complexes, racquet clubs, and other 24/7 or unmanned recreational spaces that are using Whoosh for reservations and operations. By eliminating the need for front-desk staffing, facilities can increase their profit margins by ensuring that every booking directly contributes to revenue, without the overhead cost of additional staff.

“Our integration-first approach enables us to provide deeper functionality to our customers, all the while building relationships with other best-in-class providers. By integrating automated access control into our reservations platform with RemoteLock, we’re giving operators the ability to streamline their workflows, improve security, and ensure an exceptional customer experience. More importantly though, we are enabling them to increase profitability by reducing the reliance on on-site staff, making every booking more lucrative,” said Colin Read, Whoosh’s Co-Founder and CEO. 

How It Works

Once the integration is enabled, operators can link smart locks to entry ways, specific courts/bays, or other designated areas of their facility, ensuring that only authorized users gain entry during their scheduled time. Staff can also set a window for when the access code is available for customers (e.g., 15 minutes before and after their slot time). Time-sensitive access codes are then auto-generated and shared with security customers via email and within the Whoosh booking app. Staff also has access to the generated codes and can always re-send in a pinch. If a facility ever chooses to disable RemoteLock, access can be revoked instantly, ensuring full control at all times.

RemoteLock’s platform is trusted by property managers in over 75 countries, simplifying remote access management for multifamily housing, vacation rentals, and commercial properties. Now, with Whoosh’s reservation and operations platform, sports and recreation facilities can benefit from the same level of automation and security, ensuring guests and members enjoy a hassle-free experience.

“Our goal at RemoteLock is to make on-site property operations simple and scalable through access control for any property type,” said Barclay Friesen, Senior Vice President of Business Development. “By integrating with Whoosh, we’re extending this convenience to their current and potential customers, allowing for time-sensitive, unique access without the burden of around-the-clock management. 

This collaboration highlights Whoosh’s continued efforts to modernize facility management through cutting-edge integrations. By combining reservations, scheduling, and secure access control, Whoosh and RemoteLock are redefining the standard for unmanned and 24/7 facilities.

Mill Valley, CA,  – Whoosh, Inc., the leader in modern operations software, is excited to announce the expansion of its industry-leading platform, now offering advanced tools designed for public facilities with time-constrained bookings, loyalty and membership programs, and enhanced point-of-sale (POS) integration. This latest update marks a significant step in Whoosh’s continued mission to deliver solutions that streamline operations, optimize resources, and drive increased revenue across a wide array of recreational activities.

“This market expansion continues the evolution of Whoosh to be more than just a golf company. Our software has evolved into a comprehensive platform that supports a wide variety of facility types, well beyond our country club roots,” said Colin Read, co-founder and CEO of Whoosh. “Whether you’re managing a simulator facility, training academy, or batting cage, our system helps streamline operations, eliminate redundancies, and drive revenue growth, all while creating a superior experience for your customers.”

Known for its expertise in golf—offering the industry’s first tablet-focused, cloud-based tee sheet—Whoosh is broadening its reach to accommodate a diverse range of facilities, including indoor simulators, connected driving ranges, racquet centers, multidimensional health clubs, recreation centers, and fitness facilities, among others. This expanded offering introduces functionality designed specifically to meet the needs of public facilities, offering operators a comprehensive solution that improves efficiency and maximizes profitability.

Empowering Facilities to Grow and Succeed

Whoosh’s new full-activity management tool allows operators to manage reservations in real-time, enables the introduction of advanced loyalty and affinity programs, price all types of services, and ensures full utilization of amenities. By offering insights into peak usage times and automating critical business decisions like no-show management and resource optimization, the platform empowers facilities to unlock new revenue while reducing operational overhead. Operators can rely on Whoosh as a trusted partner, providing data-driven insights that directly impact the bottom line.

“By partnering with Whoosh, we’ve streamlined everything we do—from golf and driving range to batting cages and events—resulting in a six figure revenue boost and a more engaged clientele,” said Nichole Inkel, Owner of Windy Hill Golf Course & Sports Complex. “We’ve always been a multi-activity destination, but with one comprehensive tool to manage it all we can focus on growth and providing even better experiences for our customers.”

Seamless Integration with Square and Enhanced Booking Capabilities

As part of this expansion, Whoosh continues its successful partnership with Square to power secure, omnichannel payments. Facilities can easily manage complex transactions, such as splitting payments between customers or separating booking fees from on-site purchases, with Whoosh’s integrated POS solution. The platform enables operators to create dynamic rate schedules and various pricing amongst customer types, maximizing both utilization and profitability.

“Square is proud to continue supporting Whoosh’s growth into full activity management,” said Gabriella Hernandez, Global Head of Platform Partnerships at Square. “Together, we’re empowering operators to ditch outdated processes and embrace a seamless, modern approach to managing their businesses.

Driving Innovation and Preparing for the Future

Whoosh’s latest release sets the stage for even more advanced functionality in the future.

The post WHOOSH EXPANDS INDUSTRY LEADING PLATFORM TO DELIVER FULL ACTIVITY MANAGEMENT appeared first on The Golf Wire.

MILL VALLEY, Calif., – Whoosh, Inc., the most advanced club operations software solution, today announced the closing of its $10.3 million Series A funding round, led by AlleyCorp. Additional institutional investors participating in the round include 8VC, Alaris Capital, Bienville, Craft Ventures, Eberg Capital, Operator Partners, and Raptor Group.

Other notable investors include Larry Fitzgerald Jr., Alison Lee, Howard Lindzon, Kurt Kitayama, Andy Roddick, andMike Walrath. The backing of golf operators and industry professionals is evidence of the value Whoosh’s current solutions create for customers and the power of its strategic vision.

Since the company’s launch in 2022, Whoosh has remained steadfast in its mission of creating the most intuitive operations and hospitality solutions for private golf and racquet clubs and public/daily-fee facilities. The business has evolved to become the best-in-class provider for the industry, powering the most premier clubs and “Top 100” golf courses in the country.

With this investment, Whoosh will continue its expansion into public/daily-fee clubs, alternative golf facilities, “eatertainment” venues, resorts, and other time-based activity operators. It will also support further development efforts to improve its already innovative technology, in addition to increasing team capacity to meet the surging customer demand for its software solutions.

“Whoosh is the most innovative and intuitive operations and activity management solution for private facilities,” said Colin Read, Whoosh’s co-founder and CEO. “This investment enables us to further develop our product and bring these best-in-class hospitality and operational tools to public golf, racquet and ‘eatertainment’ venues worldwide. The vast majority of recreation and leisure companies operate with outdated technology, leading to revenue loss, staff inefficiency and siloed data. Whoosh has streamlined operations and enabled better hospitality at the most prestigious private facilities in the country, and our expansion will extend these solutions to facilities that put hospitality first.”

This financing comes following Whoosh’s announcement of its integration with Square, a move designed to revolutionize the way public golf courses and daily-fee facilities manage operations and commerce. The company has plans for new integrations to be completed later this summer, alongside further refinement of its public product before year end, further solidifying its position as the leader in omni-channel data experiences.

Doug Band, a Venture Partner at AlleyCorp, will join the company’s Board of Directors as part of this funding round. “Whoosh is bringing cutting-edge technology to club managers and hospitality providers in ways that have largely gone overlooked for years,” Band shares. “Through its modernized digital platform, Whoosh has created a better way to communicate with members and customers, while streamlining workflows for operations staff.”

From the beginning, Whoosh’s ethos has been “for industry, by industry,” focused on gathering data and interviewing key stakeholders at golf facilities all around the country to best understand challenges and build a solution to streamline workflows and provide the best member experience possible. As legacy technologies have lagged to innovate, Whoosh quickly emerged as the best cloud-based reservation system on the market, integrating clubs’ tech stacks, streamlining staff workflows, enhancing on-site hospitality and improving club communications.

Whoosh has received prestigious accolades from leading industry publications including Boardroom’s “Excellence in Achievement” and Golf Inc.’s “Best In Golf Technology.” The team also brought home “Best in Show: Business Solutions” at the first ever Golfweek Tech Lab earlier this year at PGA Headquarters in Frisco, TX.

The post WHOOSH INC. RAISES $10.3M SERIES A, LED BY ALLEYCORP appeared first on The Golf Wire.

Mill Valley, CA – Whoosh, Inc., the most advanced modern club operations software solution, today announced the official launch of their integration with Square, the technology company that makes commerce and finance services easy and accessible. The integration provides public golf courses and daily-fee facilities with a holistic view of how their customers spend their time and money on-site, enabling facilities to streamline across multiple areas of the business, operate more efficiently, and enhance the overall customer experience.

Whoosh’s cloud-based modules have been praised as best-in-class for private facilities for the past three years, saving golf club operators countless hours per week through a user-friendly platform. Now, with the introduction of an omni-channel data experience in golf technology through Whoosh and Square, public golf facilities have access to a wealth of customer information and the ability to run their operations more efficiently. Whoosh’s reservation tools, combined with Square’s POS technology, seamlessly provides a complete view of operations across every facet of the business.

“Operators should utilize best-in-class tools to power their facilities. Whoosh is already recognized as the leader in modern booking and hospitality solutions for private courses, so expanding our offering to support public golf operators and the burgeoning simulator industry is a natural evolution of the business,” said Whoosh’s co-founder and CEO Colin Read. “Public course operators were demanding a more modern tool, and we shared our vision with Square to create one simple product for managing operations at daily-fee clubs. The result is a game-changer for the industry.”

The vast majority of the $200+ billion global golf industry comprises public clubs, and those facilities often operate with outdated tee sheet technology, lacking modern integrations that connect various customer touchpoints on and off the course. Through the integration, public golf courses can simplify payments by integrating Square with Whoosh, removing the need for double manual data entry across separate systems. Now, customers can pay in whatever way they prefer on Square Terminal, a portable and hand-held POS system, including credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, gift cards, card-on-file, or cash.

Additionally, Square Terminal offers a seamless checkout experience by displaying a detailed order summary before taking a payment, including discounts. Customers can also choose how they want to receive their receipt right on the Square Terminal screen, whether print, email, or text. Facilities can also leverage the option to charge no-shows on a customer’s saved card on file for ultimate flexibility and peace of mind. Furthermore, Square is PCI-certified, allowing operators to save on additional costs and other fees while receiving key data about the buyer’s journey.

“Public golf courses have complex operations and need best-in-class tools to succeed, and Whoosh’s platform provides a robust and intuitive suite of solutions,” said Gabriella Hernandez, Global Head of Platform Partnerships at Square. “Together, Square and Whoosh are offering powerful technology that enables facilities to have smoother operations and advanced business insights so they can offer the best possible customer experience. We’re excited to bring this integration to clubs around the country so that they can more effectively manage and grow their businesses.”

Operators can further streamline business operations by unlocking automatic synchronization of customer profiles between Whoosh and Square bidirectionally. This allows operators to achieve a comprehensive picture of customer behavior by capturing spend across their entire operation from golf facilities and retail to food and beverage. With Square’s reports and dashboards, operators gain access to useful and intuitive business data insights, including transactions, fees, and sales trends by date, employee, location, and more. For those managing multiple locations, Square offers a unified view of data across locations, enabling facilities to grow and expand more seamlessly.

In the coming quarters, Whoosh will introduce service for other public access categories including alternative golf facilities (eatertainment, simulators, etc.) and racquet sports operations (tennis, pickleball, squash and paddle), as well as lessons, events, and clinics in addition to activities like fitness, swimming. Together, the two solutions will also support online and in-store retail, beverage cart and cafe transactions, punch passes, loyalty, house accounts, and more through a unified platform. Square will collaborate closely with the Whoosh team to ensure seamless operations for activity facilities of any size and complexity.
