Help Us Make CourtReserve Better! 🗣️
We want to hear from you! Your ideas and feedback drive the continuous improvement of CourtReserve. Submit your ideas here and vote on your favorites to help shape our platform's future. Our product team reviews the idea board and updates our roadmap every 90 days, so your suggestions can directly impact upcoming features.
The Process
To ensure that everyone understands the process the Product Team follows when reviewing/addressing submitted ideas, below is a breakdown of statuses:
- Unmarked: This is the initial status when an idea is submitted. The Product Team will review all submitted ideas to determine how best to move forward.
- Internal Review: The Product Team will review the submitted idea to determine scope of the request. A Product Owner (PO) may reach out to you for more detail.
- Not Planned: If the Product Team determines that the idea is not valid or is not something that aligns with Product goals, the idea will be declined/marked as not planned.
- Waiting on Votes: After the Product Team decides to move forward with an idea, this status will be set to allow time for others to vote on the idea. Ideas will be kept in this status for 90 days, as this will allow for enough time to garner votes and for the Product Team to better understand priority based on the number of votes received.
- Accepted for Future Development: Once the idea has been reviewed, discussed with the submitter (as needed), and prioritized by a PO, the idea will be accepted for development in an upcoming sprint. The timeframe for development will be determined based on other existing priorities/team capacity.
- In Progress: When the idea has been estimated, the idea is considered in progress.
- Beta: If the idea requires a beta testing period, this status will be set. This remains the status until Beta testing is completed.
- Completed: Once the idea is released to Production, the idea is considered completed.
Throughout the process outlined above, POs will provide updates to keep you in the loop.
Thank you for being an essential part of the CourtReserve community!
Booking restrictions that only include reservations made by the member
Schedules/Sessions inside of an Event
Ability to make the # of Guests field mandatory for reservation types that allow guests
We have a reservation type called Doubles With Guests (separate from Doubles which is for members only) that allows a minimum of 3 players and a maximum of 4 players. With any reservation types that allow guests, we want there to be at least one guest specified and accordingly, we would like the #Guests field to be mandatory. This will prevent people from bringing a guest but not specifying the guest on the booking and therefore not paying the guest fee. Given that not all clubs may want this field to be mandatory, having an option to specify whether it is or not (sort of like the fields on the CR Signup form) would be great.
Split Court Reservation
We would like to have the ability to have a reservation split up if it is not able to be booked all on one court. Example: if a reservation is for 90 minutes but court 1 has 60 minutes and court 2 has the remaining 30 minutes, for it to automatically book it and let us know.
Event Email (reorder by filtered)
When you are under an event, and you need to email a few players (usually the ones on top because I have sorted it prior) it would be nice when you click the email button if they would stay in that order.
Scenario: Pulled players off the waitlist into an event and I want to notify a small details or instructions (that the non-waitlisted players already received).
Currently I sort those by date registered, go to email button but when the list comes up, they are not in the order I sorted by.
Instead of clicking the top 4 players and going to the email I have to fish through the list a click on the players I want to include. I Love that you added how many you are sending to before sending - helps fact check your list.
add the ability to choose never played- null value for 1st visit
Would like to be able to run a report by players who have created a profile but have never visited our facility and then be able to easily send an email off the reporting function. Right now I have to run a report, sort, download then select the names manually to send an email in the CR system.
A way to put a staff alert on a client, so any staff know there is an issue to be addressed (so staff can see but client cannot)
A client without proper payment method on file. A client that is repeatedly rude or confrontational. A client that owes. Needs to be seen in the app as well, so a coach checking in a kid can know to send kid/parent back to the desk for payment info or whatever.
credit limit
Allow a credit limit to be defined for each membership type, and also allow this value to be overridden for individual members. If credit limit is exceeded, system should suspend account until paid.
Member Report - Filtering for Birth Months for Member Birthday Cards
Every month, we send out birthday cards to all of our players who are celebrating a birthday in the upcoming month. I tested the "Member Report" to see if there was an easy way to figure out who has an upcoming birthday. Although Date of Birth is a field in the report, it sorts based on the entire date (year/month/day). Aside from exporting to Excel, it would be helpful to have an easy way to isolate birth month.
note box when voiding a fee in member transactions
Can you please add a note box when we void a fee through the member's account, member transactions. Helps document reason for auditing purposes.
Thanks!
Adding Price & Payment Button to Event Registration Emails
When a member is registered for an event, have the email sent to them notifying them they've been registered show the price for the event and a button for them to pay now that would open the browser on PC and opens the even in the CourtReserve app if on mobile.
Example:

confirmation link included in email/text reminder about upcoming lessons or clinics so members can "confirm" their already scheduled session
can we include an option in the automatic reminder notifications for members to CONFIRM or CANCEL their upcoming session? could this be added to the automatic 'reminder' notifications 12 hours prior to their scheduled lesson, clinic or court reservation?
Cancellation time window unless waitlist exists
Add a Setting to restrict the ability to cancel any activity within X hours unless a waitlist exists
Copy events by week vs by event
Have the ability to copy a week's (or another designated time frame) worth of events, rather than copy event by event. For example, we have a similar open play schedule week-to-week. Instead of going into each event and copying it with new dates (or changing the end date to extend), it would be easier to choose a week to copy and have all events in that week copied for the next at once.
Auto accept members based on Membership type
Allow for some membership types to be auto accepted and other to require approval. This would allow us to accept non-members into the system quickly and allow them to start joining events. Full members need everything verified before receiving their full member discount.
Private Member Groups
Have a setting on Member Groups to only be visible on the Member Portal to members within the member group.
Billing Occurring Even Though a Member Cancels Their Membership
We set our Membership Dues Notification to be 7 days, thinking the member would get an email 7 days prior to the due date, so if they cancelled their membership, or changed it, they would not be charged on their due date. However, Justin indicated that CR has set its Membership Dues Notification date to be simultaneously the same as the Billing Cycle getting generated. As such, if someone cancels their membership, it is still going to show a balance due, and an Administrator has to go in and manually cancel the membership dues. We would prefer, that the Billing Cycle not be tied to the Membership Dues Notification. The Billing Cycle should stay as the next due date, so if a member goes in and cancels their membership within that 7 day email notification timeframe, they will not be charged for that upcoming billing cycle. This would remove the need to have to manually void that transaction.
Put the name of a saved report at the top of the report
Not sure if this is feasible, but when a saved report is loaded and run, would it be possible to show the name of the saved report at the top, so that when we have multiple tabs open with report results, we can tell them apart?
Add ability to show a custom member field on the scheduler and have a icon to depict it exists. Example (Locker #)
This would be a great feature for our front desk staff to quickly look up custom member information right from the scheduler.
Admin notification for court closures
Can admins be notified when courts are closed? Love that members with reservations are emailed when we need to close our courts due to inclement weather. Would like the option to include admins on these emails so they can more easily track what is happening at the branch level. Maybe as part of the notification options?
A way to approve previously declined members
A way to approve previously declined members that have now met approval criteria.
Calendar view, Widget
Can you please make the calendar view only show the dates for that month or at least gray out dates that belong to the month before and after. People get confused easily and if the top of the calendar says, for example, November, then they think all dates are for November (even if the date belongs to the month before or after).

"Sandwich time" error message suggestion
I would like to recommend that the error message that is created when someone tries to book a court but runs into the "sandwich time" violation be updated to something more solution-oriented, like:
"This reservation would create an unbookable window of time on this court. You may either extend or shorten your reservation to continue with a reservation on this court."
Copy function on prefiltered list
Create a copy button on the event filter on the website settings
preventing event withdrawls after event started
Right now, CR allows me to prevent withdrawals from an event within a certain number of hours, but it has to be minimum 1 hour. I want to be able to set that to 0, but CR doesn't allow it. If someone has to withdraw from an event 45 minutes before start, I want them to be able to do that. If someone wants to withdraw from an event after it starts, I don't want them to be able to do that.
Event visibility based on individual family members
We have people with individual memberships grouped together as families (not family membership). When setting up junior programs for children, currently the only way for the parent in the family to see the event in order to register for their child is for us to include the parent's membership type in the "Event Setup" by membership tab. Then we use age restriction to ensure that the adults cannot sign up themselves.
It would be great if we could setup the membership types just for the targeted groups (e.g. juniors) and let any adult with a family member matching that membership type see the event in the event list and be able to register their family member (ie their child) for it. There should still be checks to only allow registration for the specified types though. Please advise whether this is possible?
Alerts for Decline CC
Add an alter emailing clients and admin of declined CC when auto dues payments concerned.
BARCODE Issues
So many issues with people being able to punch the BARCODE correctly. Its so small and people keep miss touching. Please make it larger!!!
auto-adding from wait list within 1 hour of event
If someone cancels 45 minutes before the start of an event, CR doesn't currently allow us to have the wait listed person automatically added (minimum CR allows is one hour). We would like to have the option to auto add someone on the wait list if someone cancels very last minute, like inside an hour.
