Semi-private
Members and public play on one sheet, without the collision
A semi-private course runs two businesses through one tee sheet. The hard part is not selling both — it is making sure the member who has held Saturday at 8.10 for nine years still has it, while the public side fills everything around them.

What this kind of facility is actually trying to do
Not a feature list re-labelled. These are the recurring problems that decide whether a system fits.
- Protect what members hold
- Standing tee times are the thing members notice immediately when a system changes. They have to regenerate reliably without a staff member rebuilding them every week.
- Price two audiences correctly
- Member and public rates applied by configuration rather than by memory, everywhere a booking can happen — counter, phone, website.
- Keep member spend on account
- House accounts and monthly settlement are what make a member feel like a member at the counter, and they need to reconcile like everything else.
How Aced handles it
The connected workflows that matter here
- Member groups & standing times
- Member groups hold standing tee times that regenerate on their schedule, so the Saturday foursome stays the Saturday foursome and public booking never sees those slots.
- Rate classes that follow the person
- A member is priced as a member online, on the sheet and at the counter, because the rate class lives on their profile rather than in three places.
- House accounts
- Charge now, settle by invoice later, with the balance visible on the golfer record and reconciled through the same ledger as every other tender.
- Memberships and installments
- Membership plans with installment schedules, including what has been paid and what is scheduled next, charged against a card on file bound to that specific row.
- Member-only events
- A members-only event draws its field from your own member list with their handicaps, so a net competition is scored against real numbers rather than a re-keyed spreadsheet.
- Public booking around it
- Everything not held by a member is bookable directly on your own domain, with no per-booking fee and no marketplace listing.

Semi-private questions
Will our standing tee times survive a migration?
They are rebuilt as member groups with standing times rather than imported as individual bookings, which is more reliable — the schedule regenerates rather than existing as a list someone has to maintain. Getting the groups right is part of implementation and is worth doing carefully, because it is the first thing members check.
Can members charge to an account at the grill?
Yes. A house account is a tender at the register like cash or card, so a member can put lunch on their account and it settles by invoice with the rest of the month.
How do net member competitions work?
A members-only event pulls the eligible field from your member list with their handicaps, and net, Stableford and net Stableford can be scored on the same event with flights and countback tie-breaks.

Standing times, rate classes and house accounts are where a semi-private migration succeeds or fails. That is the twenty minutes worth spending.
