I no longer have to wait for a staff member to get reporting questions answer nor deliver service to a member. > > **Cons**: The website and communications modules are not as user friedly as we would like. The private and public duplication is very ordinary and is costing us more time than I care to imangine. > > Excellent, we receive timely and attentive service, and are gratefull for that. We want to continue to grow with Northstar and reguarly support other clubs and their development. I would be nice to think some training free of charge could be reciprocated ----- ### "Full-Featured, Integrated Community Management System" — 5.0/5 > **Andy** | *2 August 2023* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pulling all our property and member data into one system for all the services we offer was the biggest challenge and is the biggest benefit of Northstar. > > **Cons**: The implementation process is necessarily complex, and our prior setup was especially complicated. Garbage In, Garbage Out. We brought a lot of garbage to the table, and that led to challenges with the implementation team and out accounting team. > > Northstar is delivering on the promise of having everything we need on one platform. Our biggest frustration before Northstar was that our POA/accounting, golf, food \& beverage, and recreation facility operations were all set up with different best-in-class systems. The Northstar approach pulls everything we need onto the same environment. It's not easy, but it's worth it. The process has not been as smooth as we would have liked, but we're pleased with how responsive the support team has been over time. And we know this is SAAS, so we aren't locked into the "2023" model — as improvements are made to the platform, we will reap the benefits along the way. ----- ### "No documentation" — 2.0/5 > **Christopher** | *26 March 2023* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: This software runs as an app accessed through a browser. There is no local client to load, and the app is available offsite without needing a terminal server and running RDP or running in a Citrix environment. > > **Cons**: The single biggest problem is that there is no readily available documentation. The latest user manuals are dated in 2008. They do provide a list of the most recent changes since the previous release, but what about the fourteen releases in between the previous release and 2008? Also, the support site has a very limited knowledge base. The intricate details of setting up their POS modules are no where to be found. Also, when you call in for support, the VOIP phone call quality is between just acceptable and very poor. Keep in mind that you are calling Pakistan in the middle of the night during typical US business hours on the East coast. I could probably live with it if there was proper documentation, but that is a bridge too far. > > Inherited this situation eight years ago. Not working for me. They basically had to be brow beaten in to making the bank reconciliation functionality work, to the degree that it now does, we have been waiting for at least six weeks to get the POS terminals to communicate with our credit card machines (still not resolved). I have yet to attempt setting up their ACH drafting function to draft member payments, so those continue to be done manually using our bank's website. Not good. ----- ### "RAVES for Northstar" — 5.0/5 > **Jennie** | *5 June 2026* | Recreational Facilities & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The entire software support team are stupendous and go above and beyond to fix issues, are always polite/professional and make suggestions/apply fixes. \[sensitive content hidden\] provided the selling demos that caught our eyes, \[sensitive content hidden\] training gave us tools to fine tune and \[sensitive content hidden\] spent significant time fine tuning all of the needed setups on our 5 new modules. The Northstar team was exceptional. The Northstar software runs our club from food and beverage orders, to tee and court reservations, front desk pool registration, APPs for member access, payments on line, to g/l reports; paying bills, you name it.... our club's day to day needs are fulfilled by your team for over 20 years now. THANK YOU for all you do everyday to keep our club humming along.. We couldn't do it without all of you\! Jennie at Wyantenuck CC ----- ### "Website & Mobile App Transformation" — 5.0/5 > **Channing** | *27 July 2023* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The communication is superb. The team would always keep me updated throughout the process of the website build and design. We had several meetings to discuss design elements to make it customized to our country club, and they would always make sure those elements were brought to the website. Everything is extremely organized; I could look to the schedule to know what is coming up or what I need to provide for the website. Everyone was so professional and personable, it made it an enjoyable project. They are also flexible and understanding. The training meetings were perfect. All of my questions were answered in a polite and informative way. Not to mention the meetings were recorded so it is nice to have everything as a reference. > > **Cons**: I don't have any cons from this process. If I had an issue or needed help with something, they were there to help me find a solution. > > There are a million reasons why I would tell someone to use Northstar for developing/ designing a website and mobile app. The team went above and beyond with everything through the process. \[sensitive content hidden\] was the Project Coordinator, and he is outstanding. The communication is superb. Him and his team would always keep me updated throughout the process of the website build and design. We had several meetings to discuss design elements to make it customized to our country club, and \[sensitive content hidden\] would always make sure those elements were brought to the website. Once the website and mobile app launched, I was speechless. Everything that they had worked on was officially brought to life and it was an honor to work with \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team. If you are considering redoing your website, do it, because you will not be disappointed with the final product. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/461030/Northstar-Club-Management?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/461030/Northstar-Club-Management) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
