Mobile App/Golf Club Communication Platform
CommuNiTee
A golf club with 600 members was stuck using WhatsApp groups, email chains, and notice boards to communicate. We built them a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android with real-time messaging, group channels, club broadcasts, and staff coordination. Within one month of launch, 225 members had signed up. That is 40% adoption without a single ad.

The Challenge
What they needed
Golf clubs run on communication, but the tools most clubs use were never designed for it. Members were scattered across WhatsApp groups that got noisy fast, email threads nobody read, and physical notice boards in the clubhouse. Competition results took days to circulate. Pro shop deals got buried. Management announcements reached a fraction of the membership. The club needed a single, purpose-built platform where every member, from the captain to the newest joiner, could stay connected. It had to work for an older demographic (average age 55), feel simple enough that non-technical members would actually use it, and replace multiple tools at once.
Our Solution
What we built
We built a cross-platform mobile app using Flutter, with Stream Chat powering all messaging and Firebase handling authentication and push notifications. The app launched on both the App Store and Google Play.
Members get private 1-to-1 messaging, group chats for societies and friend groups, and dedicated channels for club-wide topics like competition results, pro shop offers, and management broadcasts. Push notifications keep members informed without needing to open the app.
The app is structured around how golf clubs actually operate. There are separate channels for different types of communication, so competition scores do not get lost in general chat and pro shop deals reach the right audience. Staff have their own coordination channels.
We also built a marketing website on Next.js to help the client pitch the platform to other golf clubs, with clear product positioning, feature breakdowns, and a demo request flow designed for club managers.
