Mill Valley, CA – February 9, 2026 — Whoosh, Inc., a leading provider of modern operations software for golf, racquet and hospitality facilities, is pleased to announce that it will be jointly exhibiting at the upcoming Club Management Associate of America (CMAA) World Conference and Club Business Expo with Lightspeed Commerce Inc., the unified omnichannel platform powering ambitious retail, golf and hospitality businesses in over 100 countries.
Members of the Whoosh and Lightspeed teams will be coordinating demos together in booth #169 throughout the conference which is taking place February 17th to the 21st in Anaheim, California.
The partnership between Whoosh and Lightspeed, which began in the summer of 2025, was born out of each company’s desire to support private club operators with a fully unified platform that offers state-of-the-art solutions to solve the most common pain points associated with scheduling, payment, and membership.
“From day one our partnership with Lightspeed has been grounded in helping clubs navigate away from antiquated systems, and the convoluted workflows these programs require," said Colin Read, Whoosh CEO and Co-Founder. "In practice, that’s meant simpler operations, clearer insights, and real business impact for clubs ready to modernize.”
At this year’s show, Whoosh and Lightspeed will be demonstrating the fluidity created by the use of their integrated platforms. In order to deliver more transparency, access for members, seamless billing, reporting, and communication, Whoosh offers its customers the ability to provide:
- Centralized management of tee sheets, activities, lessons, and events, balancing member access with staff oversight
- Cloud-based, mobile-friendly interface for staff, and an intuitive booking app for members
- Clear operational and utilization reporting to inform smarter staffing, pricing, and scheduling decisions
Complementing this, Lightspeed enables:
- A unified POS across golf, retail, and food & beverage
- Transparent, timestamped billing with support for house accounts
- Inventory, accounting, and staff-friendly workflows that streamline back-of-house operations
The strategic partnership between Whoosh and Lightspeed has allowed private clubs to elevate their operations with a unified solution that enhances the overall member experience.
“We’ve seen strong momentum from private clubs eager to move away from legacy systems,” said Fraser Marriott, Head of Golf at Lightspeed. “The early response from operators reinforces the demand for a unified solution built for how clubs want to operate today - bringing together commerce, billing, and member engagement in a way that’s easier for staff to manage and more transparent for members.
Together, these capabilities allow tee times to flow more cleanly into member billing statements, provide seamless communication during delays and weather events, and allow end-of-day closeouts to be completed in minutes. An added benefit is that these combined features help with easier staff training and mobility, which can ultimately result in improved member satisfaction.
