Booking restrictions that only include reservations made by the member
Schedules/Sessions inside of an Event
Detailed Member's report
Right now, Member report is the only report that provides all the details about member including address, phone number and other fields not available in other reports. If somebody wants to run a report for last year and membership already expired for that year, you need to run Member and Membership report and use Excel to combine in order to get info about members from last year including their addresses. Ask is to expand Memberhip report and include all other fields that exist in Members report
One-Time Initiation Fee Tracking at Member Level
Our club charges a one-time initiation (capital) fee in addition to annual membership dues. Currently, the system does not distinguish between new members and returning members at renewal, which means the initiation fee would be charged every year, instead of just once for life.
Our club would benefit with adding a member-level initiation fee status tied to the account (not the membership term).
- Each member account could include a flag or field indicating whether the initiation fee has been paid
- The initiation fee is automatically charged only if this field is set to “No.”
- Once paid, the status is permanently stored on the member account.
- On all future renewals (including multi-year memberships), the system automatically excludes the initiation fee.
- Administrators should be able to manually override or mark the initiation fee as paid (for legacy members, transfers, or exceptions).
- Applies to all membership types and renewal flows.
- Initiation fees are charged only to brand-new members who have never held an account at the club.
Anti-bot protocol
I know you are aware of the issue of members booking courts using bots. We have been dealing with this as a club for about 4 years and have a LOT of experience with all the tactics and tricks members will use to take advantage of the systems in place. I know you have released a feature that will allow for one timeslot only per day to have a reservation lottery. Unfortunately this is not very useful to use as we have members booking using bots at all times of day.
There is another tactic used by bots that I like to call "walking down" where a person wants to play at 7pm-10 but there is a lot of competition to book the courts, or perhaps there are other bots they are competing with. This person will book a court from 9am-12pm and right before 11am will cancel the booking and immediately book for 11am-2pm. At 1pm they will cancel and book from 1pm-4pm... and so on until they get to 7pm. So, someone waiting to book at 7pm will never get a chance to book the court since this bot was walking this reservation down the scheduler. We are wondering if a couple suggestions can be implemented that would help level the playing field between humans and bots (at least for now).
1) captcha. Would adding a captcha prompt during the booking process help prevent the usage of bots? Could this be an option toggled on/off in the settings so it can be optional... perhaps some clubs like the bots. I will say bots have really helped some groups book courts efficiently so maybe not every club wants them gone.
2) Flagging sketchy behavior. This would be my preferred method of handling bots by Court Reserve recognizing when an account is engaged in patterns of booking behavior that are either impossible for a human to do, like instantly booking multiple reservations, or walk down a reservation by repeated cancelations and re-bookings. I'm thinking after an account gets flagged Court Reserve can send them a warning and give a notification to admins that an account has been flagged. If the behavior continues Court Reserve, with permission of the admin, can remove booking privileges for this member. We have a feature for penalty cancellations, but not one for penalty behavior. There could be a counter and this sort of thing could be automated to some degree for the admins.
That's all I have for now. My staff is very eager to fight back against the bots. We have quite literally thousands of software engineers that are members of our club so we run into a lot of these issues. They are very clever and capable folks, so putting a stop to this behavior is a good challenge. Please let me know how I can be of any help. Thank you.
Ability to Link Guest Waivers to New Accounts
We currently have guest waivers, but one of the questions we ask is whether or not they would like an account created.
When we create an account, they would have already signed the waivers, so this would be a redundant step for the member experience.
price increases affecting existing reservations
I was told to put my chat in the idea board here so I will just paste it below:
Hi, I would like to raise a concern again this year about price increases. We raise our prices once per year, always on February 1st. The way it is currently handled is very inconvenient for two reasons.
1) There is no way to schedule a price increase. Prices are always live, so if I want to change prices I need to first turn off the member's ability to book a court, and then manually update all the pricing. I would encourage you to look at our customer pricing page to understand this is not a small task, and mistakes are very consequential.
2) After adjusting the prices, Court Reserve does not change the amount owed on any reservation on the scheduler unless you need to make any edit to that reservation. If you do need to make an edit either you can save and the member gets charged the new price, or you can manually adjust the price back to what it was which will now lock the member out from making any further adjustments to the reservation.
This is working as intended and it has been this way for a while. I would simply like the option for when I update prices to have a check box to "Update all existing reservations" or not. I believe this logic exists when updating membership pricing. I assume it was added for the very good reason of members not wanting to be charged more for something they already paid.
At the risk of sounding redundant, a simple example is you booked a court for next week to play a game with 4 friends. Later, you learn one person cannot make it so you swap them out for another friend. Suddenly you realize you owe $2+tax for the court you had already booked. This is the experience our members are getting during price changes. Their existing reservations should not be subject to pricing changes as that would seem to violate a lot of trust between the club and customer.
If there is a way to please have this updated so when a reservation is made and paid-in-full, the billing is then locked in place. That would be a huge help to our staff and our members. February ends up being a confusing month for this reason and this sort of thing would appear to add more value to the software and create more control for the admins. Please let me know if I can be of any help. Thank you.
Create an acount for non-members. For players that pay as they play and do not enroll in a monthly paid membership to gain booking privileges.
This is something we offer, but in the customer/member portal, this non-member profile is listed as one of our memberships, and it says $0/month, but it should just have its own category with the price per 90-minute court reservations and price per hour for golf simulator reservations clearly posted. This non-member account is what allows our golf simulator customers make reservations because we do not offer a membership for our golf simulators - everyone pays as they play per hour. These non-members can also book pickleball courts at the non-member rate, which is priced per 90 minutes - we do offer memberships, but you do not have to be a member to book a pickleball court.
Ability to customize schedulers to create a buffer or sandwich time between only specific reservation types, and only on specific dates/timeframes.
This would be very helpful for those who use Court Reserve for making golf simulator reservations and offer full food & beverage service, and could use just a 5-10 minute window between reservations to clean and reset the golf simulator bay. The ability to customize buffers so that they only occur during restaraunt's open hours would be ideal so we can maximize golf simulator bookings outside of those hours.
Set different start/end times for each court allocated to an event.
Create a on/off switch that when enabled, gives you the ability to set different times on each court under a single evet.
For example, Open play: Courts 1-3 from 8am-10am, but court 4 start at 9am.
Right now this prevents us from allocating courts to an open play session if a court is reserved for one hour which inhibits signups for sessions. We want to maximize capacity & manage the yield, but without this function we are limited by the software.
Multiple Event Discount Rules
Currently, when you create a discount for Events, you can only create one rule. It would be great if you could create multiple rules. Like 1 free per month for a,b,c events, and 1 free per day of d,e,f events. It would also be great to have a once a year or once lifetime option.
Unique Prime Times for different sports
Our tennis and pickleball members have very different prime times that they like to come in and play. We are handcuffed as admins being only able to set 1 master prime time list of times. Please allow for unique prime times to be set for different sports, as the players have different preferences.
Custom name for Packages + Punches
Allow naming conventions for individual clubs like it is done for changing the name of Events
Update Punches in Sold Packages
The ability to update the number of punches in sold packages as a form of price adjustment. Also, updating the event categories punch allowances without having to delete and re-add the categories.
Allow players who have a punch card (package) to use a punch for their guests.
Currently a player can only use their punch card for them or a connected family member. It would be nice if they could use a punch to pay for a guest as well.
Create 'share' event links on the user side
On the customer side, each 'event' should have a 'share' button, allowing the user to copy and share a link to an event with others.
Adding Club Ratings of Members on the Membership List
It would be very useful to have the capability of searching the membership list of a group of players based on their club ratings. It would also be beneficial to be able to sort those group ratings to determine which members are in a certain group, E. G., Find me all the 3.0 men.
Kisi Access Control Integration
I'd like to formally request an access control integration with Kisi. Their hardware and use case is better suited for recreational facilities than RemoteLock or Brivo, and it is more secure than easily guessable 4-digit pin codes. An in-app unlock feature that only allows the player to unlock the door when it is their reservation time (/buffer) and when they are in the direct vicinity of the door is the future of access control for pickleball facilities! Thanks for your consideration.
Waitlist Limits
Can a limit/specific number be set for the waitlist function per court (for players waiting for an opening in an event)? Our default is set to 4 players per court, but knowing some players to not show up & not remove their name, and some players tire easily and like to rotate out to rest. At the same time, we don't want any more than two additional per court. Example: 4 courts, 8 waiting spots. Need to be able to set it specific to each club's needs.
Leagues need to be made compatible with Swish.
Leagues need to be made compatible with Swish.
edit reservation type when paying with punches
allow players to edit their reservation types when paying with punches. for example, our club and a few others in MasterMind use reservation types to force players to add everyone for waiver purposes. however, when they book a "Private Court for 2" and then later confirm the other two players, they can't add them themselves because they are unable to edit the reservation type to "Private Court for 4" without admin intervention.
suggested by CR support to add this idea.
"If he's already paid for the reservation with a punch, that punch is being assigned to a specific reservation type. They won't be able to edit that on their own since the systems essentially going, "No, it's done and paid for with a punch. No edits can be made." At that point, it does require any additional edits to be done from the admin side."
Custom Rating - DUPR Waiver
We have a waiver program for rating exceptions that uses the MyDUPRCoach process. If the player doesn't have a DUPR rating, then this is not an issue as the coach assigned DUPR gets added to their DUPR profile and that allows players to sign up for whatever events they want to. If the player does have a DUPR rating, then we need to create a custom rating range/value for them and edit events to allow that custom rating range/value. It would be convenient to create a custom rating where it is a number that can be used with the DUPR rating restrictions to allow players to be allowed to sign up for events.
Bonus would be to create a period that after which would nullify the waiver so that we can do a re-evaluation of the player.
Scenario I have the issue for: I have a player who has a DUPR rating of 3.000. Our next DUPR range is 3.250-3.749 and this player believes they should be allowed to take instruction within that level for whatever reason. If the waiver process says that this player is in fact a 3.259, it would be nice to input that value into a field and have it be automatically used by rating restrictions rather than having to do something with a non-number string in a custom rating. Then after 6 months - this player gets an alert that they need to have another waiver evaluation to ensure they are still playing/competing at that level.
Discount Code for Memberships
A discount code to give to people to get a discounted membership price would be super helpful!
Open API Payments Integration
Court Reserve to consider creating a certification for payment integration API's. This would allow clubs internationally to select their own local payment providers who can develop payment solutions to integrate with court reserve. Court resreve would need to certify the solutions for compliance etc. This would give greater flexibility to persons who do not use twothe available payment providers.
Players viewing when syncing to Swish.
When syncing with Swish, allow all players to view round robins/matches once on the Swish app.
Release Open Play Courts to accomodate fewer players.
Set number of players per court and if there are fewer, automatically release appropriate number of courts for private reservations.
Leagues
Hey there, we are hosting a couple of flex leagues using your league program. We want to make one of the days have less opt-in spots available but it won't let us do that unless we change the entire session. Can you add an option to adjust the opt-in limit by the game days?
POS Option to FORCE member name selection
Looking for a setting/option to "force" a staff member to associate all POS sales/transactions to be associated with a member. If it is a walk-in sale, we can always create a fake member called "walk-in Sale" to sell items to.
An issue we have today is that if a transaction is completed at the POS WITHOUT a member being selected, the transaction cannot be updated thereafter. This presents an accounting issue for the members account and transaction history.
ELSE - we need a way to edit the transaction AND THE MEMBER NAME after-the-fact.

Check-In button on the reservation for members to use their phone to "Tap" to check-in
Members to use their phone to check-in by simply clicking on a CHECK-IN button on their reservation
Additional Kiosk Sounds at Check In
It would be great to be able to assign different sounds at the kiosk for different Membership Types as well as different membership status like "overdue" and "expired" and "canceled"
Guest Waivers to be transferred to new members accounts
If a guest signs a waiver and then becomes a member, i would like to attach their previously signed guest waiver to their member account so they don't have to sign the waiver again
Enable Dropdown Selection for Cancellation Reasons in Membership Cancellation Prompt Feature Request
Title: Replace Textbox with Dropdown for Cancellation Reasons in Membership Cancellation Prompt
Description: Currently, when a membership is canceled in CourtReserve, the system prompts users to provide a reason for cancellation using a free-text textbox. However, there is no option to switch this input method to a dropdown (combobox) with predefined cancellation reasons. While adding custom fields allows administrators to define specific reasons, these fields only appear on the membership details tab and not in the cancellation prompt. This inconsistency leads to difficulty in standardizing data and streamlining reporting.
Postconditions:
- The cancellation reason is successfully saved and is available for reporting and analytics.
- Administrators can analyze standardized data to identify trends in membership cancellations.
Benefits:
- Ensures standardized input for cancellation reasons, improving data quality.
- Reduces manual errors from free-text entries.
- Provides consistency between custom fields and the cancellation prompt.
- Enhances reporting and analytics capabilities by categorizing reasons.
Edge Cases:
- Administrators should have the option to allow users to provide an "Other" reason, along with additional comments.
Key FOB for check-ins <> compatible w/ door access
Many facilities have multiple uses other than court bookings. A facility such as ours, has a gym portion as well as tennis and pickleball courts. Court Reserve is a premier software for handling our facilities bookings. But we also have members who only utilize the gym space. We currently have to pair Court Reserve with a separate software such as GloFox, JoinIt or LightSpeed, to have a key tag scanner for our gym members to check-in and to pull up their account with a Face ID. This system also has a door access feature to help manage our 24hr facility.
This all-in-one package would be beneficial to multi-sport facilities but also enhancing Court Reserve check-ins by adding a key tag scanner, face ID profiles and door access.
Auto-cancel reservation settings need to include reschedules
Prevent refunds due to reservation rescheduling cost differences.
Example: When a member changes their reservation from 2-1 hours it is not considered a cancellation by the system so the person automatically receives a credit to their CR account. They are really canceling 1 hour of their reservation and should not be credited for it.
