Free software for your home course. Real loyalty for you. Zero booking fees — always. The local-first alternative to GolfNow, built for the regulars.
No credit card · Founding members get lifetime perks
The smarter GolfPass.
$79 instead of $119. $180 in credits instead of $120. Zero booking fees — always. At courses you actually play.
GolfNow costs the average course $94,500/year. We charge $0.
The math is brutal once you see it. GolfNow takes 2 prime-time tee times from you per day in barter — at your published rack rate. That's roughly $94,500/year in lost revenue per course (industry analyst data, 2025). High-volume courses lose $150K+.
Brown Golf documented 39.6% of all rounds over three years went to zero-revenue barter slots. Windsor Parke Golf Club saw a 382% increase in online revenue after leaving GolfNow ($81K → $393K).
TeeAhead charges $0for the first 10 Founding Partner courses — free for life. Course #11 onward pays $249/month. That's it. No barter. No commissions. No data extraction.
The only ask: tell your golfers about the TeeAhead membership at booking.

Built by golfers. For golfers.
Neil Barris
Co-Founder
Golf entrepreneur. Founder of Outing.golf. Spent years watching GolfNow extract value from the courses and golfers I was trying to serve. TeeAhead is the fix.
Billy Beslock
Co-Founder
Lifelong golfer. Career operations background at Ford. The exact recreational golfer TeeAhead is built for — and the one keeping the product grounded in what real members actually want.
TeeAhead is being built by Neil and Billy in Metro Detroit. We're talking to local courses now and launching in 2026.
Local golf, returned to the people who actually play it.
A note from Neil & Billy
Between the two of us, we've seen this problem from every angle. Neil spent years building Outing.golf inside the golf industry, watching courses get squeezed by a company that's never set foot on their property. Billy's been the golfer on the other side — paying booking fees, watching credits expire, feeling like a transaction instead of a regular.
We're not building TeeAhead because the market is hot. We're building it because we're both tired of watching it happen.
If you run a course in Metro Detroit, Neil wants to talk. neil@teeahead.com. Not a contact form. His actual inbox.
If you're a golfer who plays every weekend and just wants a fair deal at your home course — Billy built this for you. We both did.
