OpenCourt

What OpenCourt does

OpenCourt, Inc. is a privately held, Austin, Texas-based SaaS company that provides a unified sports club management and booking platform for racquet sports (pickleball, tennis, padel) and indoor golf simulator facilities, along with adjacent verticals such as multi-sport, eatertainment, fitness centers, country clubs, community centers, schools and universities, corporate wellness, and residential communities. The platform combines online booking, membership management, events and programs, instructor scheduling, leagues and tournaments, integrated point-of-sale, access controls, and community/social features (open games, in-app messaging, skill-based matchmaking). A distinctive capability is fully branded native iOS and Android apps, managed and listed in the app stores by OpenCourt on behalf of each club.

The underlying technology is a cloud-based SaaS platform delivered via web and mobile, with APIs available on Pro/Elite/Enterprise tiers and integrations into Stripe for payments, court camera systems for video replay, rating systems such as DUPR for competitive play, and legacy club management systems (Jonas, Northstar, Club Essentials) for adjacent workflows. AI is layered into the product in three places: a social matchmaking recommendation engine, computer-vision-enabled camera integration, and AI-integrated business intelligence dashboards for retention and operational analytics. The product surface has expanded to include vertical-specific solutions (e.g., the OpenCourt Bay Manager beta for automated golf simulator bay access control).

The business model is a tiered subscription with five price points — Core ($99–$119/mo), Core+ ($199–$249/mo), Pro ($499–$599/mo), Elite ($749–$899/mo), and Enterprise (custom) — billed monthly or annually with up to 20% off for annual commitments; Core tier also carries a 3% per-transaction service fee that can be passed to the customer, while Core+ through Elite are zero-fee. Recurring revenue is supplemented by hardware add-ons (door access at $25/mo, video replay at $25/mo) and one-time branded-app setup fees ($600 + $100/mo on Core+/Pro, included at Elite/Enterprise). Go-to-market is hybrid: a self-serve product-led motion with website signup and free trials targets SMB clubs, while an enterprise sales motion handles multi-location operators such as Golfinity. Distribution leverages direct website, app store ASO, content marketing targeting club operators, and integration partnerships with adjacent club technology vendors.
