What ForeTees, LLC does

ForeTees, LLC is a privately held software company founded in 2002 by Bob Parise and headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota. The company builds a web-based, cloud-hosted club management platform purpose-built for private golf and country clubs, with stated coverage of over 700 club customers and more than 100 million member logins. Its product portfolio spans reservation systems for golf tee sheets, caddies (ForeCaddie), dining and events, courts (tennis, pickleball, paddle, padel, racquetball, squash), fitness and spa, simulators, and 18+ additional club amenities. The ForeTees Business suite extends this into club websites, member/CRM management, accounts payable and receivable, dues billing, financial reporting, and a cloud-based point-of-sale system integrated with reservations. A mobile ecosystem (ClubCentral Member App, Staff App, Caddie App) supports reservations, food ordering, push notifications, mobile key access (via a 2025 partnership with Sentry Interactive), golf bag requests, location check-in, and valet service on iOS, Android, and Windows.

The underlying technology stack is a Vue.js web frontend, cloud-hosted back end, and mobile-first iOS/Android applications with embedded NFC mobile credential SDK for access control. ForeTees generates revenue through SaaS subscriptions bundled across the reservation, business, and mobile app suites, sold via direct enterprise field sales and demo-driven lead generation rather than disclosed pricing. Go-to-market relies on account managers, the company website's Request Demo funnel, and active participation in CMAA, PGA, and National Club Conference trade events, supplemented by an email newsletter, LinkedIn presence, and the ForeFront News blog. The company serves U.S. private and semi-private clubs exclusively, has remained founder-controlled and bootstrapped through its 2015 acquisition of Club62, and continues to reinvest into product expansion (POS, Mobile Key, mobile ordering, in-app messaging) without disclosed external capital.
