It shows members open courts in real time and lets them book and pay online. Clubs use it to replace phone calls and paper sheets, stop double bookings and keep courts in use. 1club adds booking rules, waitlists and reminders on the same calendar.
Tennis Court Booking System
Members book and pay online, every reservation follows your rules, and waitlists offer cancelled slots to the next player.
Courts members can book in a tap
Members see which courts are open right now and book without calling the club. Your team spends less time on the phone and more time on court.
Want players to get on court without staff? Connect contactless access through Salto KS or WebLock, and entry follows the booking.
- 01
Live availability. Members see open courts by court or surface, day or night, from your club website, member portal or app.
- 02
No double bookings. A booked court disappears everywhere at once, because every channel runs on one live calendar.
- 03
Guests welcome. Players without a membership can book with a guest pass or pay per booking, and staff can add a booking from the schedule in a tap.
Rules you set once
Set your booking rules once and every reservation follows them, whether it comes from a member, a guest or your front desk.
- 01
Limits that fit your club. Set how far ahead members can book, how many active bookings each person can hold, and a cutoff before the start time. Different membership types can have different rules.
- 02
Buffers and blocks. Add buffer times between bookings, block courts for maintenance or events, and set up recurring bookings.
- 03
Cancellation policies. Your policy can give a credit or refund for early cancellations, charge a fee for late ones, or do both. Your team can override it when it makes sense.
One calendar for the whole club
Lessons and classes sit on the same calendar as court bookings, so a coach's hour and a member's court hour never clash.
- 01
Lessons and classes. Schedule them with capacity limits and an instructor assigned to each.
- 02
Coach visible at booking. Members book a coach directly or join a class, and see who is coaching either way.
- 03
Synced to Google Calendar. Every booking appears in the calendar your coaches and staff already use.
Fewer empty courts
An empty court is lost revenue. Reminders, waitlists and payment at booking keep courts in use.
- 01
Confirmations and reminders. They go out by email, SMS and push notification, each carrying your club's branding.
- 02
Waitlists. When someone cancels, the next player is offered the spot automatically.
- 03
Payment at booking. Members pay by card or Apple Pay through Stripe, or on site with a myPos terminal. Prepaid slots give players a reason to show up, or to cancel early so the court can be reused.
Bookings that stay yours
Every booking made through your own website, portal or app keeps the relationship with your club. You keep the member's details, their spend and a direct line to bring them back.
- 01
Direct bookings. Take bookings through your club website, member portal and your branded app, all on one system you control.
- 02
Reach without lock-in. Your club also appears on the 1club network and its mobile app, where players discover clubs, so new players can find you and the relationship stays with you.
- 03
Broadcasts when plans change. Message members instantly when courts open up or weather closes play.
