CourtReserve

Overview

CourtReserve is club management software for tennis, pickleball, padel and other racquet and paddle sports operations. It suits clubs that need bookings, memberships, payments and programming in one system, with mobile access for players and API access on higher plans. Its court-based pricing makes capacity the central buying decision: clubs with more than 32 courts or multiple locations need custom pricing.

Key features

Core operations cover court bookings, lessons, events and programming, membership management, public booking, payments and reporting. Recurring reservations, access control and online payment collection are also supported. For a club replacing disconnected booking and membership processes, that breadth is useful; the court caps mean the fit depends on the size of the operation.

The iOS and Android app lets players book, sign up for events, check in, manage family accounts and pay. That makes mobile access relevant to both individual members and households, rather than limiting the app to reservations. Live chat support runs weekdays from 9 AM to 8 PM EST and weekends from 9 AM to 5 PM EST.

Integrations include DUPR, Swish, RemoteLock, Brivo, GoTab POS, MembersFirst, Pickleheads and USTA Connect. Access to integrations depends on the subscription plan, and some may carry extra fees; vendor charges are separate from the plan price. Brivo and RemoteLock support automated access control. API access is included in Advance and Momentum, while Scale and Enterprise are also described with API availability.

Messaging allowances require attention when estimating operating costs: each plan includes 500 SMS messages monthly, with additional messages priced at $5 per 500 texts. Bulk or manual marketing email includes 5,000 messages monthly, then costs $5 per additional 1,000. Clubs with frequent member communications should account for those quotas.

Pricing

All three named plans are billed annually. Launch costs 159.00 USD per month and includes 8 courts. It is the entry point for smaller clubs, but does not include API access. Advance is 329.00 USD per month for 16 courts and adds API access, making it the more suitable step for clubs that need to connect CourtReserve with their own systems. Momentum costs 499.00 USD per month for 32 courts and also includes API access; it suits larger single-site operations that remain within that court limit.

Each of these plans lists unlimited players and members, staff, reservations and lessons, so the published plan distinction is court capacity rather than a quota on those operating counts. Custom pricing applies to Custom, which covers more courts, multiple locations and network memberships. There is no free plan, but a free trial is offered. Integration fees and messaging overages can raise costs beyond the subscription.

Platforms

CourtReserve supports web, iOS and Android, as well as an API. The mobile apps extend booking and club tasks to members, while API access is limited by plan. The platform is therefore a stronger fit for clubs willing to choose Advance or Momentum when integration into an existing stack is a requirement.

Who it's for

CourtReserve is aimed at racquet and paddle clubs, including tennis, pickleball and padel facilities. It is a sensible candidate for clubs that need public and member booking, recurring reservations, lessons, events, payments and membership management together. Clubs with several sites, network memberships or larger court inventories should consider the custom tier; clubs seeking a no-fee starting point should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Broad club operations: bookings, lessons, events, membership management, payments and reporting sit within the same product.
• Member-facing mobile coverage: the iOS and Android apps handle bookings, event signups, check-ins, family accounts and payments.
• Meaningful messaging caps: 500 SMS and 5,000 marketing emails per month are included, but clubs that exceed them pay usage charges.
• Plan-based capacity: Launch, Advance and Momentum cap courts at 8, 16 and 32 respectively, so growing clubs may need to move up or request custom pricing.
• Integration costs and access vary: availability depends on subscription plan, some integrations may cost extra, and API access is not included in Launch.

Alternatives

Verdict

Choose CourtReserve if you run a racquet or paddle club that needs booking, membership, programming and payments in one system, and its court-based plans match your capacity. The mobile apps and API on higher tiers strengthen the case for member-facing operations and stack integration. Look elsewhere if a free plan is essential, your club needs API access at the entry price, or messaging overages and integration charges make annual costs harder to predict.
