Running a golf club is no small feat, especially when it comes to managing staff. Whether you’re overseeing a bustling championship course or a quieter local club, coordinating a workforce that often includes zero-hours contract staff can be a real challenge.
From tracking early morning tee-time coverage to managing last-minute shifts for evening events, golf club managers are constantly juggling staff availability, rota planning, and payroll processing. Add to that the ever-growing expectations of both members and employees, and it’s easy to see why many clubs find workforce management both time-consuming and stressful.
That’s where Nextrasoft steps in.
Developed in partnership with the Golf Club Managers’ Association (GCMA), Nextrasoft is a smart, easy-to-use workforce management platform designed specifically for the unique needs of golf clubs. And here’s the key point: no club is too small to benefit. Even if you only have 10 staff members, Nextra can still help streamline your day-to-day operations.
Why even smaller clubs are turning to Nextrasoft
There’s a common misconception that digital workforce platforms are only suitable for large organisations with dozens of employees. But in reality, small clubs often face just as many (if not more) operational headaches—often without the luxury of a dedicated HR or admin team.
Nextrasoft gives small teams powerful tools to take control of rotas, communication, and payroll, all in one place. It’s designed to reduce admin time and eliminate confusion, whether you’re managing 50 staff or just 5.
Key features tailored for golf clubs:
✅ Real-time attendance tracking with mobile-based geolocation check-ins—no more chasing timesheets or guessing who’s on-site.
✅ Zero-hours staff support with built-in holiday accrual automation to stay compliant and fair.
✅ NextraMobile app for staff to view and manage their own schedules—giving them more visibility and reducing back-and-forth messages.
✅ Automated rota creation based on availability and demand—saving hours of spreadsheet juggling and WhatsApp chaos.
✅ One-click payroll exports to make payday fast and error-free.
All of this helps reduce rota clashes, improves communication, and cuts down on time-consuming admin—freeing up managers to focus on delivering great experiences for members and guests.
