Introducing Trutee: A New Era of Golf Software
Great golf courses are intentional in every detail. The software golfers and operators use every day should be too.

Great golf courses are beautifully designed and intentional in every detail. The software we use to experience them should be, too.
Playing golf is one of the most joyful (and sometimes painful) experiences: the walk, the strategy, the sound and feel of a well-struck shot. But often the digital tools that surround the game feel like they weren't built to truly improve the lives of those who use them. Whether you're stepping up to the first tee or managing a full tee sheet from the clubhouse, the experience should feel seamless. It should be as considered and intentional as the course itself.
As an avid golfer, I've felt that gap deeply. Golf is a game that rewards precision, focus, and feel. The tools we use off the course should reflect that same level of craft.
A more considered approach to golf software
That's where Trutee comes in. Most tee time platforms were built for a different era, and it shows. They're built around outdated interfaces, overloaded dashboards, and workflows that prioritize complex controls over real usability. The result is software that feels rigid, bloated, and disconnected from what golfers and course managers actually need.
At the same time, expectations have changed. Golfers today want a simple, frictionless experience that respects their time and feels great to use. Course managers want visibility, flexibility, and fast tools that don't require complex setup.
That's why I built Trutee: to reimagine the golf software experience from the ground up.
What sets Trutee apart
Deliver a great UX, focused on speed and efficiency. This is software meant to be used often, and it should feel effortless every time. Unlike platforms with convoluted workflows that frustrate users, Trutee streamlines booking into a few intuitive steps. The goal is to let you play or manage without ever slowing you down.
Give golfers one beautiful, unified experience. No more separate logins for every course. Golfers create a single profile and can book across all participating courses. The interface is clean, mobile-first, and focused on getting you from "Find a time" to "Confirm" in seconds.
Empower course managers with modern, flexible tools. Managers get a thoughtfully built admin experience with full control over tee sheets, availability, and payouts. Features like real-time tee sheet updates ensure you're always in sync, and everything is structured, fast, and intuitive.
Build with intention, always. From the way a button animates to the moment a confirmation screen appears, every interaction feels intentional. It's not enough for the software to work. It should reflect the care of someone who understands and values their users.
Trutee will continue to evolve, but the vision remains the same: speed, clarity, and care for everyone involved in the game.
