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!

Automatic Batch Billing
Booking restrictions that only include reservations made by the member
Schedules/Sessions inside of an Event
Ability to set up automatic emails that send after events, court reservations, lessons, etc.
As a club manager, I want to send a thank you to the players who played with us to improve their experience further. I want to write a custom email that will send after an event, court reservation, or another type of session a member signs up for. I want to set the duration of time the email is sent (for example, send one hour after event ends). I want it to send to all the players who attended the session.
How might I use this?
- To promote future events or court reservations
- To promote products
- To promote giving us a review
- To educate with follow-up coaching material
This feature will increase conversion for more players to sign up for more events, court reservations, and more.
Member's group creation based on custom fields
Having ability to create a dynamic membership group based on defined custom fields. In our sign-up form, we have several custom fields for members to express their interest in league play or socials or similar. Having a dynamic list of members that responded (filled in) and be able to create a membership group with specific criteria based on custom fields would be a nice feature.
Report Scheduler
Have the ability to set reports to run with pre-set parameters on a specified schedule that are then automatically emailed out.
'Hide on Scheduler' option for members
Half of my members want to be able to see who is playing on the courts around them (helps with organizing big groups) when looking at the schedule. The other half of members would like their names to not show on the other members schedules.
Can the members have an option to hide their information on the schedule when booking courts? Much like an admin can select 'Hide on Scheduler'.
Cancelation penalties for events
Add the same sort of Cancellation Penalty tracking that exists for reservations to Events.
Ability to send Liability Waiver to Guests
require players to put their guest's email into the court reservation so that an automated confirmation email with the guest waiver/check in instructions can be communicated (for liability reasons).
Tennis Leagues Functionality
When will the league functionality be avaulable for tennis?
Update an individual package to a family package
Some members purchase a package and then their family members join later and are added to their "family" but cannot use the package because it was originally purchased as an individual package. It would be helpful if there was an option to update the package to a "family" package, instead of them having to purchase another package that their family members can use
Team registration for leagues
many of our players would like to sign up for a league and play with the same person every week, and get scored as a team. We also want to run doubles tournaments and events with the same team members.
Allow members to register for an event when they check in on a kiosk
With many pickleball programs being drop-in play, can the kiosk allow member to register for a "drop-in" event as well as check in for that event at the same time?
Auto Generate "No Show" list for evaluation to assess "no show" penalty. (Similar to Refund Request list)
Auto generate a list similar to the "Refund Request" list from event/reservation withdrawals, only this list would be a report of "no shows" so that we can decide whether to assess a penalty that we have announced prior as the cost for not showing up for events. When people no show it severely affects the quality of the event for the other participants.
Member Bar Code in Phone Wallet App
Make it so members can add their bar code to their wallet app so they can bring it up like a concert ticket to make checking in easier and quicker.
Prevent member from registering for an event at the same time they have an active court reservation
I'd like to suggest adding the ability to prevent a member from registering for an event at the same time they have an active court reservation, or vice versa. Folks can't be two places at once (an Event and a reserved court) and we don't have the staff to monitor where they are and who is using their reserved court. Thank you.
Membership Page - Filters
The current public membership page lacks the filter functionality found on the events page. Implementing this would enable customers to narrow down available memberships, rather than scrolling through all options. For instance, they could filter by Monthly vs. Annual, Sport, or Individual vs. Family memberships. Alternatively, adding tabs to the memberships page to group memberships by specific categories would also be beneficial.
Add instructor to event in multiple instances
We're aiming to add a feature that allows assigning an instructor to a booking in multiple time slots. For example, we may want Coach Michael to attend an event from 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM, but with a break between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM. In this case, we'd like to add him once for the 11:30 AM to 1:00 PM slot and then again for the 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM slot.
Is there a way to add tips to the POS system?
We serve food and drinks at our facility and we need a way for the customer to add a tip to their bill. Also, there are times that instructors are given tips but there is no way to add those either.
Allow members to see registrants listed in order they signed up vs alphabetical
In Tennis doubles we need multiples of four players for a court so if you signed up as the 13th person you may not play. Unfortunately members see the registrants in alphabetical order versus order the registrants signed up so they do not know if they are the 13th, 14th 15th player and possible won't play.
I do realize the admin can see in registration order but it does not help players
Ability to suspend a membership from a certain date in the future
Yesterday, I had a member who paid two months of membership (May and June), and asked me to put her membership on hold for the month per June 30, since she would be traveling all of July. So, I wanted to suspend her membership per July 1, in order to avoid she would get the remainder of payment, which will be send 5 days before the payment date. However, I was told by the live support that this is not possible. I need to suspend the membership on the actual day that it has to be suspended. Unfortunately that means she will receive the reminder, and I will probably forget in 2 months that I should suspend the membership of one of my members on July 1.
Therefore, I would like to see the possibility to suspend an account on a certain date in the future, and maybe give the possibility to add a date to reactivate it again.
Members ability to credit their own account with thier credit card
I would like to have members be able to add a credit to their own account from their credit card instead of having multiple small charges for each time they come in to play. I think it would make it easier for members to keep track of the money they are spending,
Filter events by age
Right now events can be filtered by Categories, Dates, Day of the week, Time of the day, Events types. But if someone is looking for events for a certain age (for example, 6-year-old kids) they have no way of doing that. Can this be added?
Add ability to sort the landing page of POS to have your most frequently purchased items appear first so you don't have to always go to the category list. Eliminates this step and allows users to quickly process sales.
Admin Alerts for full events, full courts, etc...
As an admin, I would like to know how my courts are being used and how full my classes/events are without having to constantly check. I find that I just end up missing things. I would like to set alerts based on certain conditions. The ones coming to mind now are if on the court utilization 'heat map' any time slot gets over 90%, or if any of my classes fill up over a certain percentage (or reach a certain number of spots remaining). Currently our club rents court space and also has classes. This would help me see when the courts are either full of rentals so I can decrease the class size to allow more court rentals, or conversely increase the class size if it is already full and we have courts available. Thanks.
Custom Schedulers for Instructors & Ball Machines
The idea here is to build the ability to set up custom schedules for an instructor and/or ball machine.
Push Notifications
The idea here is the ability to push out app notifications to your members in lieu of email. Also included would be event reminders, updates, and more.
Split billing / Charge Court Time at the Player Level
This is a feature that will allow separate fees to be generated for each player on the court including guests. This will also work well with group lessons so lessons can be priced based on the # of players in each lesson.
Packages - Ability to sell "Packs" of Lessons/Clinics/Court Time, and other items
The idea here is to allow a member to purchase a set of "credits" for a set of lessons, court time, or other units at the organization at a set price then use them when they choose.
Event Discounting
Ability for customers to get a discount when they sign up for so many events or spend so much money - a way to auto discount?
Hello, earlier this week we released our Promo Code feature which will allow clubs to create promo codes against a range of fees, including events. There is also the ability to add optional controls around the code so it will only work if the amount they're paying for is above a certain threshold. You can access this feature by going to your Settings -> Billing Settings -> Promo Codes.
If you have any questions as you go through the setup process please be sure to check out our Knowledge Base articles or reach out to our support team and they'd be happy to assist. Have a great day.
Front Desk Dashboard w/Analytics
We need a front desk dashboard to see all reservations/events and a quick way to check in members when they walk into the club.
Integration with Email Marketing Platform (e.g. Mailchimp)
We want CR to be our sole CRM, but we like the ability to do email campaigns through Mailchimp. So, we have to maintain a parallel client list in Mailchimp. It would be tremendous if our CR member data synch'ed to Mailchimp.
Domain forwarding with masking
I thought I'd added this as long as two years ago but maybe not...
We forward our domain to our CR site and would like for you to support domain forwarding masking so that the URL shows our domain name not CR. This will avoid confusion from our users.
Automatic Batch Billing
Having the option to automate Batch Billing (invoices and payments) on a certain date of the month.
Booking restrictions that only include reservations made by the member
Allow each member to book a maximum # of hours each week, without including reservations that they were listed as a player. Only include reservations they booked themselves.
Ability to require approvals on specific Memberships
Currently it is a single setting to determine whether all memberships require approval or not. It would be nice to have this setting for each type of membership so that most do not need approval but a few types do
