Subs, joining fees, and comp entries.
One system. One recon.
Recurv puts every golf club member fee, monthly subs and once-off charges alike, on one mandate and runs the collection cycle automatically. Most SA golf clubs currently run subs through the bank portal, once-off fees by manual EFT, and competition entries on paper, then spend a week each month matching it all in a spreadsheet. With everything on one system, your finance team sees the failed 10% in one place instead of chasing all of it by hand.

A BETTER WAY TO COLLECT
Less payment admin.
More time for your club.
From annual membership fees and monthly payment plans to joining fees and once-off charges, golf club collections can become complicated fast.
Watch how Recurv simplifies the entire process. Giving your members an easier way to pay and your team one place to manage collections, failures and reconciliation.
WHERE CLUB BILLING BREAKS
Every member fee, a different process.
Six places SA golf clubs lose time and member goodwill every season.
Subs, joining fees, and comp entries all run differently
Monthly or annual subs, once-off joining fees, SAGA card renewals, locker and cart fees, and comp entries each get billed through a different process.
RECURV ·
One mandate covers every member fee, including subs and once-off charges.
January is a subs-chasing marathon
Clubs are still collecting last year's annual subs while trying to start this year's billing, with locker fees and comp entries billed three different ways.
RECURV ·
An automated cycle absorbs the year-end spike and keeps every fee stream on one rail.
Members are paying too much just to pay you
Most clubs currently pass through R20 to R35 per debit order to members to cover bank and admin charges.
RECURV ·
Recurv's customer-pays-fee model can cut that member-paid fee materially, while the club pays one predictable monthly licence.
Once-off membership fees turn prospects away
An R8,000 to R20,000 once-off joining fee is a hard ask for a prospective member, even when they want to join.
RECURV ·
Convert the once-off fee into a monthly debit order on the same mandate: same revenue, with a lower barrier to say yes.
No one knows who to flag for the committee until it's too late
Defaulters surface late, right before the committee meeting where playing rights get discussed.
RECURV ·
See failed collections as they happen, with the bank's reason, so the Treasurer isn't caught out.
Recon takes a week the club doesn't have
Matching bank results to member accounts across subs, once-off fees, and comp entries by hand consumes days every month.
RECURV ·
Bank responses reconcile automatically against member records, ready for the Treasurer's report.
WHAT RECURV DOES
Built for how clubs actually bill.
Five things that change the moment a club moves to Recurv.
01
Variable-amount mandate
One mandate covers monthly subs plus every once-off fee, including joining fees, SAGA card renewals, locker fees, cart fees, and comp entries.
02
Flexible fee model
The club pays a predictable fixed monthly licence, and members pay the per-debit fee directly, typically far below what's charged today.
03
Paperless digital mandates
Members sign up online in minutes, with no paper forms needed at the pro-shop counter.
04
Bank verification at sign-up
Every new member's account is verified automatically, catching typos before the first collection.
05
Automatic reconciliation
Bank results match to member records and sync to your existing system, ready for the Treasurer's pack.

Still deciding? Here's what comes up most.
Recurv does not replace ClubMaster. Recurv runs the collection cycle, covering mandates, debits, and reconciliation, while ClubMaster continues handling club operations such as handicaps, tee bookings, and statements, and the two work together.
