Our Work

One Business. Three Systems.
Built From The Website Up.

All three were built for Links at Worthington, a ten hole course at the highest hole elevation in Massachusetts. We rebuilt their website, built an event ticketing platform into it that passes no fees to the buyer, and replaced their booking and point of sale subscription with a golf management platform the course now runs on.

The Website Everything
Else Was Built Into.

Start here, because it reframes the two builds below it. We did not deliver a ticketing tool and a tee sheet to sit beside somebody else's website. We rebuilt the website, and then built the selling into it.

A Front Door That
Takes The Booking

Custom DesignMember Accounts Rates and CartsFacility Info Five Step BookingPricing On The CalendarMobile First

The Problem

A course with real character, ten holes at the highest hole elevation in Massachusetts, and no site that said so. Booking lived behind a subscription platform on somebody else's domain, so the moment a golfer decided to play they left the course's website and landed on a vendor's.

What We Built

A site built around the course itself, rates, carts, facility information and the reason to drive out there, with a five step booking flow living inside it. Date, tee time, details, round, confirmed. Pricing sits on the calendar, spots remaining sit on each slot, and no card is taken to hold a place.

Why It Matters

Nobody is handed off. A visitor reads about the course and books on the same site, and the course keeps the customer record instead of renting it back from a platform.

What Came Next

Because the site and the platform are one product, the ticketing and the operations software below were not integrations. They were features. Add a playing partner who is a member and their rate applies itself, because the booking flow and the member records are the same system.

The Links at Worthington homepage, showing the course name, ten holes in the Berkshire Mountains, and a book your tee time button — The front door — The course first, and booking is part of the same site rather than a link out to a platform

Step one of the booking flow, a calendar for August 2026 with each day priced from twenty dollars — 01 Date — Every day priced on the calendar itself, weekday, weekend and Monday Madness colour coded, so nobody rings to ask what it costs

Step two of the booking flow, choosing group size and a tee time with spots remaining shown for each slot — 02 Tee time — Solo, pair, trio or full group, slots every twelve minutes with spots remaining live on each one

Step four of the booking flow, choosing nine or eighteen holes, walking or a cart, and adding playing partners — 04 Round — Nine or eighteen, walking or a cart, and playing partners searched by name so member rates apply themselves

Step five of the booking flow, a confirmation screen with a booking reference, date, players and round length — 05 Confirmed — A booking reference, the details, and confirmation sent. No card taken to hold the spot

The Ticketing Platform
That Charges No Fees.

Built for a live eighties tribute concert on the clubhouse lawn. Ten dollar general admission, gates at six, show at seven. The fee line on the checkout is the whole argument.

With Zero Customer Fees

Ticket feesNo fees

Total$10.00

Event PagesThree Step Checkout Square PaymentsQR Code Tickets Zero Purchaser FeesOwned Customer Data

The Problem

Every major ticketing platform stacks service fees, processing fees and delivery fees on top of the price. That pushes a ten dollar ticket toward thirteen, it costs conversions at the exact moment somebody has their card out, and the customer blames the venue rather than the platform.

What We Built

A complete ticketing platform the venue owns. Full event page with lineup, venue detail and policies. Three step checkout. Payment through Square. A QR code ticket emailed the second the purchase completes, so guests show their phone at the gate and walk in.

The Fee Line

On every other platform this is where the margin quietly disappears. On this one it reads No fees. Ten dollars on the page, ten dollars at checkout, and the venue keeps the cut a platform would have taken.

Why It Matters

The venue owns its customer list rather than handing it to a third party. No surprise at checkout, which protects conversion and the relationship. And no platform takes a cut of any ticket, at this event or any event after it.

One System Replacing
Several Subscriptions.

Not a tee sheet. A golf management platform: bookings, the counter, member records, account credit, food and drink, the pro shop, pricing, campaigns and reporting, replacing a subscription platform and a pile of spreadsheets. Three months of work, currently in soft launch with the course running on it.

The Problem

The course ran on three systems that had never been introduced to each other. A subscription booking platform held tee times. Square held counter sales. Member account credit lived on paper, and later a spreadsheet. Staff toggled between all three, no one screen showed a whole customer, and a member holding two overlapping membership tiers was routinely charged for a round that should have been free.

What We Built

One platform covering the tee sheet, the counter, member records, pricing, campaigns and reporting, with Square kept underneath for card processing so no card data ever touches our system. Eighty seven members and $1,621 of existing account credit were migrated across without anyone losing a balance.

The Counter

A full point of sale built for staff on an iPad. Bar and snack bar, pro shop, food and drink, all in colour coded categories with big touch targets. Open a bar tab and come back to it. Split a bill. Search a member and see their credit instantly, applied at checkout without anyone doing arithmetic. Check a member in and start their tab in one action.

Why It Matters

A $9,600 a year subscription is gone and infrastructure now costs under ten dollars a month. Year end credit reconciliation went from a multi day job to hours. Training a seasonal hire on the counter went from days to hours. Every credit adjustment is logged with the name of the admin who made it and when.

Staff booking screen with every twelve minute tee time, spots remaining, round length, cart preference and a member search — Staff side — The phone rings and the counter takes the booking on the same tee sheet. Every twelve minute slot with spots remaining, and the caller found by name so their member rate applies itself

Point of sale screen with colour coded categories for beer, food, snacks and the pro shop, and a customer search that applies account credit — The counter — Bar, snack bar, pro shop and event food on one till. Colour coded categories, big touch targets, a tab you can hold and come back to, and member credit found by name and applied at checkout without anyone doing arithmetic

// What This Means For You

Yours Would Not Look
Like Any Of These.

Both of these were shaped entirely by one operation and what it actually does each day. That is the point of building rather than renting. What carries across is not the features, it is the terms: you own the code, you own the data, no platform takes a cut, and nobody can raise your rate.
