WiFi for golf, country and members' clubs

Know every member, guest and visitor who walks through your clubhouse

A branded sign-in that recognises members and turns green-fee visitors into contacts, sponsor-ready WiFi for tournaments and open days, a private key for every till and camera, and staff sign-in that reaches the greenkeepers' shed. One platform, on the access points you already own.

  • Members recognised on every visit
  • Sponsored sign-in pages for tournaments
  • xPSK for EPOS, cameras and course sensors
  • Staff sign-in with Entra ID, Okta or Google

The gap

Your members are on your WiFi every week. Most clubs learn nothing from it.

A club sees the same faces at the first tee, in the bar and at every function, plus green-fee visitors, wedding guests and tournament crowds it may never see again. Most still run one password for everyone. That gap shows up in four places.

A typical club today

  • A WiFi password on the bar chalkboard that tells the club nothing about who connected
  • Green-fee visitors and society golfers who leave without the club ever getting their details
  • Pro shop tills, cameras and clubhouse TVs on the same network as guests' phones
  • Seasonal greenstaff and bar staff who still know the staff password long after they leave

With Purple

  • A branded sign-in that recognises members and sends consented data to your CRM
  • Every visitor, society golfer and event guest becomes a contact you can invite back
  • Every till, camera and sensor gets its own key and VLAN, kept apart from people
  • Staff sign in with their own account, and access ends the day they leave
One platform, four networks

Everyone and everything on the estate, each on the right network

Members and guests, tournament and event crowds, the devices that keep the club running and the team who run it. Four networks that usually mean four suppliers, run from one dashboard.

Members and guests

Recognise the member at the bar and the visitor who played this morning

Members connect week after week, and green-fee visitors, society golfers and diners connect once. Purple turns both into first-party data: a branded sign-in with a clear opt-in and a profile that builds visit by visit. When The K Club moved to Unified Accounts, its marketing opt-in rate rose from 42% to 81% in the first week.

  • Unified Accounts recognise returning members and guests with less friction on every visit
  • Email verification blocks fake and disposable addresses before they reach your database
  • Consented data flows to HubSpot, Braze or SevenRooms, plus 400+ more data connectors
  • Short surveys after a round or a dinner capture feedback while members are still on site

Tournaments and events

Turn tournament crowds and event guests into your audience

Pro-ams, club championships, open days, weddings and corporate golf days bring people who would never otherwise give the club their details. Purple gives each event its own branded sign-in page, with room for the sponsor and your own sign-up. At a four-day European Tour Group event, 33% of visitors signed in with their MyTour account and 2.87TB of data moved without reaching the network's bandwidth limit.

  • A sign-in page branded for each event, switched on and off on schedule
  • Sponsor placements on the sign-in page, a measurable asset to sell alongside hospitality packages
  • Sign in with an existing app or loyalty account through a custom integration, as European Tour Group does with MyTour
  • New contacts sent to your CRM the same day, ready for next year's ticket and membership offers

The Equestrian Sports Centre at Tryon ran sponsored sign-in pages for 12 months and grew its CRM by 33%.

Devices across the estate

A private key for everything that cannot sign in

Pro shop and bar tills, card terminals, CCTV cameras, gate and door controllers, clubhouse TVs and course sensors cannot use a username and password. xPSK gives each one its own key and VLAN, so a leaked key affects one device, not the whole club, and payment kit stays off the member and guest networks.

  • Keep EPOS and card terminals segmented from guest traffic, as PCI DSS expects
  • Revoke a single key without re-keying every device on the estate
  • Works under your vendor's name: iPSK on Cisco, DPSK on Ruckus, MPSK on HPE Aruba and Juniper Mist, PPSK on Extreme and UniFi
  • No per-device licence and no cap on devices per key

Staff

Staff WiFi from the kitchen to the greenkeepers' shed

Clubs run on seasonal and part-time teams: bar and events staff, caddies, kitchen crews and greenstaff. Purple connects each person with the account they already use, through Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace, so there is no staff password to pin up and nothing to change when someone leaves.

  • Access ends the moment an account is disabled in your directory
  • Staff, contractors and management land on separate VLANs with their own rules
  • Personal phones are onboarded in about 60 seconds with the Purple app
  • Every session logged against a named person, device, time and location

Golf and country club WiFi questions, answered

What club managers, membership and IT teams ask us most

Do we need to replace our access points?

No. Purple runs on the access points you already own, including Cisco Meraki, HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Juniper Mist, Ubiquiti UniFi, Cambium, Extreme and Fortinet, indoor and outdoor-rated, so coverage reaches wherever your hardware does.

Will members have to sign in every time they visit?

No. Unified Accounts recognise returning members and guests, so they connect with less friction each visit and their profile builds over time.

Can sponsors appear on the WiFi at our tournaments?

Yes. Each event can have its own branded sign-in page with sponsor placements, scheduled to go live and come down on the right days. The Equestrian Sports Centre at Tryon ran sponsored sign-in pages for 12 months.

Where does the member and visitor data go?

Into your own CRM or email platform. Purple connects to HubSpot, Braze, SevenRooms and 400+ other data connectors, with UK GDPR consent and a full audit trail on every record.

Can we keep the tills and card terminals on a secure network?

Yes. With xPSK, each till, card terminal, camera and sensor gets its own key and VLAN, segmented from member and guest traffic, which supports your PCI DSS obligations.

What happens when seasonal staff leave?

Staff sign in with their Entra ID, Okta or Google Workspace account. When the account is disabled, their WiFi access ends automatically, and there is no shared password to change.

Can we filter content on the guest network for family and junior days?

Yes. DNS content filtering is available on guest networks, so you can block unsuitable content for everyone connected to the clubhouse WiFi.
