MONTREAL, QC & AUSTIN, TX — June 24, 2025 — Lightspeed Commerce Inc., the unified commerce platform for ambitious entrepreneurs around the world, today announced a strategic partnership with Whoosh, a fast-growing club operations platform, to transform the way private golf clubs manage their operations and member experience.
Together, Lightspeed and Whoosh are launching an integrated technology solution built specifically for the unique needs of private golf clubs. This end-to-end platform combines Lightspeed’s industry-leading retail and restaurant POS with Whoosh’s modern tee sheet, event management, and member-facing tools—creating a seamless digital experience for clubs, staff, and members.
“At Lightspeed, we’re committed to empowering businesses with the tools they need to deliver exceptional customer experiences,” said Peter Dougherty, GM of Golf at Lightspeed. “Partnering with Whoosh allows us to offer a truly integrated solution that supports every aspect of private club operations—from the pro shop to the dining room and beyond.”
The collaboration is already yielding success. Several prestigious private golf clubs have adopted the combined solution and reported improvements in operational efficiency and member satisfaction. By centralizing services such as reservations, payments, food and beverage, and retail into one cohesive platform, clubs can now streamline workflows and personalize the member experience at every touchpoint.
“Whoosh was founded with the belief that private clubs deserve modern, intuitive technology,” said Colin Read, CEO and Co-Founder of Whoosh. “Lightspeed shares that vision, and we’re thrilled to join forces to offer a solution that redefines what’s possible for private clubs.”
The partnership leverages both companies’ strengths:
“This integration solves a longstanding pain point in the private club industry—fragmented technology,” said Nick Rosenberg, Partner at Raptor Group and investor in both companies. “Lightspeed and Whoosh are uniquely positioned to drive innovation in this space.”
The newly integrated platform is available immediately for private clubs in North America, with plans to expand globally in 2026.
Lightspeed powers the businesses that are the backbone of the global economy. With its cloud-based platform, Lightspeed provides entrepreneurs in retail, hospitality, and golf with point-of-sale, payments, eCommerce, inventory, and customer management solutions.
