Wendy answers after hours
When the office is closed, Wendy answers the club’s telephone. She books against the real tee sheet rather than taking a message, then writes the booking back to the same member record used by club staff.
How the voice concierge worksSpecialist Depth
Specialist depth: the golf course
Golf is where Fescue began, and where its deepest tooling lives.
G1
Intelligent Tee Sheet
Loop-level booking rules, dynamic pricing and marshal tools, built for how courses actually run.
G2
Competitions & Handicaps
WHS handicaps, entries taken from the tee sheet, live results and the sweep settled on member accounts.
Competition managementG3
Society & Outing Bookings
One booking record for a society day: tees held, covers, dietary notes, names collected by the organiser, deposit against the booking and one bill settled once.
Society bookingsWhat Saturday costs
Five records of one Saturday
The tee sheet knows who played. The handicap system knows what they shot. The entry sheet knows who paid into the sweep. The POS knows who bought the drinks. None of them know about each other, so somebody spends Sunday morning making them agree.
Your members feel it differently. One login to book, another for a handicap, a card behind the bar, a paper form for the medal, and a membership dues invoice that arrives by post. Five ways in, and not one of them speaks to another.
Thirty-three capabilities. Fescue covers all of them.

The restaurant and golf shop point of sale rows in detail
What changes
One record, and the Saturday reconciles itself. A green fee, a sweep and a round of drinks land on the same member account the moment they happen. Tournaments run from the record that already holds the tee sheet, so results publish once instead of being retyped into three places. The member has one app, and the office has its Sunday morning back.
About the second column. We reviewed five club management platforms in August 2026 using only what each publishes on its own website. Where most of them document a capability we have marked it, because much of this list is table stakes. We are not claiming they cannot do things they simply have not written up.
One thing we do not do: we have no tee-time marketplace distribution. Some platforms will list your empty tee times on large consumer booking networks. If that is your main problem, say so at the demonstration and we will tell you plainly.
A family of four, four systems
The household nobody can see
Tennis is booked in one system, the food and beverage room in another, the pool register is on paper, and the events diary lives in somebody's inbox. A minimum spend nobody can calculate until the month has closed. A house account that exists mainly in a spreadsheet, and guest allowances tracked by memory.
The family feels it as friction. A spouse who cannot book. A junior member who needs a login the system will not give them. One household, four bills, and no sight of the whole picture until it is too late to act on it.
Thirty-eight capabilities. Fescue covers all of them.

The restaurant and golf shop point of sale rows in detail
What changes
The household is the record, not the individual. Every member of the family charges to one account, itemised by person and visible to the account holder. Entitlements are an engine rather than a memory — guest allowances, per-day caps and facility access resolved at the moment of booking. The minimum spend is a live position rather than a surprise in month twelve.

The folio assembled by hand
Three conversations to book one day
The property system knows the room. The tee sheet knows the round. The restaurant knows neither. So the resident rate is applied from memory, the folio is assembled by hand at checkout, and a group booking is held across three systems and hoped for.
The guest feels it as three conversations to arrange one day, and a bill at the end of it they were not expecting.
Thirty-six capabilities. Fescue covers all of them.

The restaurant and golf shop point of sale rows in detail
What changes
The stay is the record. Tee times, tables, courts and bays are the same kind of inventory with different durations, so they sit on one grid and the guest arranges the day once. Resident and visitor pricing is applied by who the guest is, not by which system took the booking. At checkout there is nothing to assemble, because everything posted as it happened.
