Northstar Club Software – Installation Date 1 August 2023

As communicated to Members last year, the Club conducted an extensive review of its management software programs, Micropower and MiClub. The review was carried out in conjunction with a comparison to a secondary program, Northstar Club Software.

Northstar is a burgeoning software platform and is being implemented by many golf clubs within Australia including Royal Melbourne, Indooroopilly, Commonwealth Golf Club, The Metropolitan Golf Club and Kingston Heath to name a few.

Offering a robust cloud-based solution for clubs providing end-to-end capability and integration for POS, member management and golf solutions, Northstar’s versatility further automates functions including membership, fees, dues and other operations for private clubs.

In search of a software solution that has an increased focus on Member experience and utilises technology to improve the Member experience and offerings available to Members, the Club is pleased to advise that Northstar Club Software will be implemented from 1 August 2023.  

While most of the changeover will be made behind the scenes, Members will enjoy new, more user-friendly components of the software, including a new app. 

The following training sessions will be set up to assist Members in the transition to the new software:

  • Tuesday 25 July – 3pm – 5pm
  • Wednesday 26 July – 3pm – 5pm
  • Monday 31 July – 9am – 10:30am
  • Wednesday 2 August – 8am – 9am
  • Thursday 3 August – 8am – 9am
  • Monday 7 August – 10:30am – 12pm
  • Tuesday 8 August – 5pm – 6pm

Please ensure the following items are brought with you to the session:

  • Photo ID
  • Mobile Device/Ipad
  • Credit card/Bank account details

To make a booking please click here, or contact Member Services on (07) 5699 9000 to arrange a booking.

We greatly appreciate the challenges that change encompasses and are mindful of unavoidable hurdles ahead and thank you in advance for your patience and respect towards our staff throughout the transition period.
