NORTHSTAR TECHNOLOGY AND GOLF

We are making an exciting technology transition next year throughout the entire corporation. This change will be very impactful for tee time reservations and event registration. Northstar offers a ClubNow App which will allow you to service most of your golf needs via phone. Step one is to make sure you are connected to CLPOC with an individual email address. You will be able to make your tee time reservations using the app for all locations at anytime of day. The limitations of phone reservations will be a thing of the past.

Golf event details will be available on our website. Each event will have a start reservation date for players to register online. These start dates will always be a Monday at 8:00 a.m. for online, app driven or in-person registration at any of our golf shops. Each event will require you to render payment to secure your reservation. The days of the drive-by...”hey Pro sign me up for this”, will be over.
