(Original )Information
What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

The tee sheet is so easy to use. Reports in Lightspeed Retail are excellent with many to choose from to analyze my business. The service from Lightspeed is outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

There are a few bugs that could use correcting. If I modify a price on the tee sheet, I have to hit SAVE before taking a sale to Lightspeed Retail for payment. I've had the occasional difficulty adding information to a customer's database. For example, if I want to add a phone number to a customer already in my database. If the number already exists in the system, I cannot find who it belongs to and can't add it to the customer I want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

If you're looking for a very easy-to-use tee sheet and POS platform, Lightspeed Golf is a great way to go. The customer service is worth it only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

I solved the issue of using an iPad for my terminal to now using a large monitor, making it much easier and faster to process sales. The tee sheet is straightforward to use and has a lot of features. The cost of Lightspeed Golf is lower than the previous tee sheet software I was using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

We have been using Lightspeed for two seasons now. The software is very intuitive and simple to pick up for all staff with minimal training. Support from Lightspeed for any issues is super prompt (minutes) and resolution is always quick and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

No real downside to Lightspeed. There are a few places during transactions that some clicks could be removed (seems overly redundant at times) but we understand this is to ensure things are completed properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

The team at Lightspeed is very proactive and asking if we need any help and offering solutions and software upgrades that we had not even thought we would need but turned out very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

I admire the company's progression when it comes to partnering up with other great platforms and offering that service at an outstanding price. We Started with Lightspeed golf and retail and now have F&B, Quote Machine, Accounting integration, Loyalty Program and Ecom. I have done my research and lightspeed is that 1 stop shop company that makes billing super easy and they have a great support staff to help you as well. Working with POS systems for over 20 years I'm so glad i made the switch to LS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

1 downside would be you need 2 accounts if you are running a Beverage Cart and Restaurant. It would be nice to have that integration all under 1 account for tracking and reporting purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Lightspeed Golf is so easy to use for our staff as well as our customers through the online portal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

The integration between Lightspeed Golf and Lightspeed POS plus the automated payment system for House Accounts and memberships. The tee sheet is also user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

The inability to use dynamic pricing for golf including cart.

The issue of duplicate House Accounts not feeding back from Lightspeed POS to Lightspeed Golf House Accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Automated payments for House Accounts and membership purchases resolve a number of issues for our bookkeeping department. Plus, the membership system and member portal function well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

The product is intuitive. My staff can figure things out quickly and often without instruction. And, when they don't know what to do, there are helpful tutorials and videos, or, a seemingly 24/7 chat function! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

Nothing. I haven't had any major concerns with the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

Make sure that you fully understand the reporting functions as they are essential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Integration with our reporting and accounting systems is the best benefit we have realized, and a problem we solved before knowing we had a problem! When we bought the business, we didn't realize our old golf software did not talk to our accounting software. I'm so glad we switched! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

LS Golf is progressive when it comes to introducing new features that boost operations in the Pro Shop. Their tee sheet is extremely powerful; anything a golf course wishes to implement is easy to do so with LS Golf. Price Sheets allow detailed separation of different player types, which helps implement pricing strategies. The chat feature is great for Pro Shop employees to have questions answered when a manager is not in or does not have time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

There have been a few mishaps where the system goes down for short periods of time; this has been inconvenient when in the middle of a busy day at the golf course. There is an online event registration module that LS Golf has that could be improved. It is not as seamless as golf courses would want it to be (ie. someone should be able to register online, pay with a credit card, and the sale then goes through separated into the necessary inventory parts in the back end of our system). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

For courses looking to implement modern practices to their Pro Shop, LS Golf is the only way to go. They have the most powerful tee sheet in the industry, making it quick and easy for staff to make changes, check-in players, create events, etc. Lightspeed's commitment to introducing more features to add value to their software is an added bonus that makes the customer experience that much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our tee sheet management has improved tenfold over the past few seasons. It is much easier to track golfers daily. Our reporting has gotten easier as well when analyzing rounds, memberships, etc. The use of LS Golf has allowed us to implement a new limited-round membership strategy with ease. Our members have gone from 25% online bookings to 90%+ booking online because of the simplicity and efficiency LS Golf offers when booking online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

Flexibility with Lightspeed is enormous. We've built so many integrations, and you just won't find that type of flexibility with any other company. It's a massive strength for Lightspeed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

Software development can be slow at times. It is more tied to resources for the company and the ability to produce at a level that they want to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

Understand that transitions to any new software aren't easy. Ensure that those with software responsibilities have an open mind and willingness to work towards an end goal. If you have this, then you will love the software! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

We've solved F&B inventory management. We're no longer reliant on a server and have flexibility by being in the cloud. We have integrated and built a robust business intelligence tool. We are close to an integration for accounting that moves us closer to real-time accounting. We've modernized our customer experience when it comes to transacting and e-commerce. We've built a lot in a short period, but it was Lightspeed's agility that made it all happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

Lightspeed golf has the best support team. Their responsiveness, knowledge and desire to get the issue resolved is far superior to any other software company. If we have a product need that is not currently met by the software, the support team submits a request to the development team to place in the queue for future improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

As a private course, there are a few public facing features in Lightspeed Golf which we cannot disable. However, we have found ways to work around these areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

Great team to help with onboarding, support readily available to answer questions and solve issues.

Statistical reporting is superior and more flexible than other golf management platforms.

The design of the tee sheets is adjustable based on the needs of the course.

Creating member profiles with the data necessary to run our business is key. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nehoiden reviews the membership rates at the end of the season, and Lightspeed Golf is currently helping our course to renew memberships at a new rate from the prior year. This automation will save a tremendous amount of time, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Lightspeed Golf?

The best part of lightspeed is you can customize it in very different ways. It is a one-stop-shop for all your needs to take your operation to the next level, which you can't do with many other POS systems. Email marketing is my best source of reaching my customers. I can easily set up campaigns to keep the customers coming back. The customer service is second to none. I LOVE THE FEATURE where I can click a button and start chatting with tech support about various issues, mostly of my own doing haha. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lightspeed Golf?

I would like a few more features in adjusting my tee sheet, most notably distinguishing WHEN singles can book tee times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Lightspeed Golf:

If you are looking to streamline your operation and make it do the jobs of multiple people, this is the software for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Lightspeed Golf solving and how is that benefiting you?

It covers everything that any size operation would need. I came from a very large golf corporation to now being a one-man show and I still have the capabilities that I once had, if not more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
