How Does The BRS x Golf Genius Integration Work?

At clubs around the world, connected digital infrastructure is replacing the era of legacy ‘All-in-One’ systems – but what does this new world look like and how do different systems talk to one another?


In short, it’s all about Integration, where systems exchange data between one another to deliver a desired outcome. This could be the posting of scoring data for WHS, adding a tee sheet booking for an event, or synchronising a new golfer in your membership system.

Our integration with BRS is a brilliant example of connected software working to drive impact for staff and golfers, and is already powering 500,000+ rounds a year across Britain and Ireland.

Built and maintained jointly since December 2020, this is a single, unified solution. BRS Golf is your club’s source of truth for membership data, running the tee sheet, online booking and member’s app.

Golf Genius Tournament Management plugs directly into those systems to run everything competition-related: formats, scoring, results and full World Handicap System (WHS) integration.

The result? Your members get one app for booking, playing, competing, and engaging, whilst your club gets a fully-integrated platform that brings the best systems in their respective areas together.

Two best-in-class providers, one connected platform to run your golf club

Here are some of the platform’s key integration points and features that deliver a seamless experience for club staff and golfers.

Two-Way Integration

Member details entered in BRS Golf sync to Golf Genius automatically every day, and new members are added without the need for double entry. The tee sheet sync runs both ways, so bookings and results stay lined up on both sides.

That same efficiency carries through to competitions. Once an event is added to the BRS tee sheet, it’s created automatically in Golf Genius — no double setup required.

Competition Setup

BRS manages the initial competition setup. Once a competition is added to the BRS tee sheet, it’s created automatically in Golf Genius. The ability to clone multiple events at once and a single-page tournament setup in Golf Genius makes this process even faster.

Tee Sheet v Roll-Up Events

Run competitions with and without a tee sheet, including casual roll-up competitions.

Competition Entry & Charging

Golfers book into competitions via BRS Golf, with instant transfer to Golf Genius. Clubs using the BRS purse now have an enhanced option to take payment at terminal entry or mobile app, along with their existing purse options. This member wallet allows golfers to view balance, add funds and pay for competition entry directly.

Mobile App

One app experience for golfers to access all their membership and golfing information, including tee booking, competition entry and scoring, and accessing other exciting features such as stats centre and player-to-player messaging for knockout matches.

Club Score Input Terminal

Score entry software where players can enter general play and competition scores through a communal touch screen device. No additional hardware is required as this is presented from a URL link.

Label Printing

Prints a scorecard label at the point of signing in via the Club Score Input Terminal for a competition round, containing name, date, handicap and more. Compatible with multiple label printers.

WHS Score Posting

Full WHS integration to retrieve Handicap Indexes, post scores and download the club player list.

24/7 Support

Online knowledge base, 24/7 online support and live phone support, with an average response time under 5 minutes.

Put together, it means less admin, fewer errors, faster event setup, and more time for your team to spend on the golfers in front of them rather than the systems behind the scenes.

For your members: one app, everything they need

Instead of switching between apps or asking staff for help, members get a single mobile experience for tee bookings, competition entry, live scoring, a stats centre, and even player-to-player messaging for knockout matches. Scores post straight to WHS, so handicaps stay accurate without anyone lifting a finger.

Why it matters — the numbers

Golf Genius is trusted by more than 500 clients across the UK and Ireland and 11,000+ worldwide, powering 1.3 million competitions and 41 million rounds of golf in 2025. The integrated Golf Genius × BRS solution specifically powered 12,500 events and 500,000 rounds across Britain and Ireland in 2023 alone, and is already relied on by clubs including Killeen Castle, Collingtree Park, Cleeve Hill, Carus Green, Bentham, Penrith and Fereneze.

The bottom line

For every member of staff — from the manager’s office to the pro shop counter — the BRS and Golf Genius integration removes the friction between systems so your team can focus on running a great club, and give members a golfing experience that feels effortless from booking to scorecard.

John Steele


John Steele is a former professional athlete, sports coach, Olympic Leader and is the Executive Director of Sport at Loughborough University. He has been Chief Executive across a range of sectors. Drawing on leadership experience of nine different Olympic and Paralympic Games (including the amazing events at the Rio Games), John reflects on the lessons from this unique period in British sport and relays his fascinating views on creating high performing teams.

Indeed, inspired from PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games, by the most successful performance ever for Team GB, he has a whole host of new business and leadership insights into how this was brilliant performance was achieved and how it can translate back into your organisation.

John moved into the corporate world, before he enjoyed an outstanding career as a professional rugby player achieving international honours. After his playing career, he turned his hand to coaching and achieved the highest accolade for a British club coach by winning the European Cup with Northampton Saints. He then became Executive Director on the Saints Board during a period of unprecedented growth, and served on the England Rugby Board during the successful world cup campaign of 2003. It was no surprise that John’s talents were called upon to drive through a change and modernisation programme as CEO of the Rugby Football Union – a challenge that became controversial and ended in his departure from the post after only a year, but with his dignity and professional pride intact.

Headhunted by UK Sport, John took up post as CEO the day before London won the 2012 Olympic bid – and this promising start was sustained as he embarked on developing the UK’s high performance sport system, which he led for a six-year period of unprecedented success through the Beijing and London Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Post-London 2012, with the Olympic legacy in place and an obligation to continue inspiring a generation, John took up his post as Group Chief Executive of the Youth Sport Trust. He has also succeeded Steve Cram as Chairman of the English Institute of Sport, an organisation described as ‘the team behind the team’, which delivers a range of performance impacting solutions to over 40 Olympic and Paralympic sports and some non-Olympic sports.
