Managing membership renewals can be stressful at the best of times. When multiple systems are involved — one for golf, another for spa, and yet another for leisure — it quickly becomes overwhelming.

That was exactly the challenge faced by Willowbrook Meadows Country Club. Furthmore, their complicated billing setup made the annual renewal cycle a dreaded task for staff and a frustrating experience for members.

With payments, bookings, and member records spread across different platforms, the process became a juggling act of manual updates, corrections, and delays. The result? Stress for the management team, and irritation for members who expected a seamless experience.

Here’s how XVIII’s leisure billing and payment system transformed the way Willowbrook Meadows operates.

The Challenge: A Complicated Billing Process

Every renewal cycle, Willowbrook Meadows ran into the same problems:

  • Payments were logged in one system, but membership statuses had to be updated manually in others.
  • Errors crept in, leaving some fully paid members wrongly flagged as overdue.
  • Staff spent hours correcting mistakes and chasing information across multiple platforms.

The club’s billing process wasn’t just inefficient — it was damaging the member experience. Frustration grew, and the cycle repeated itself every year.

The Solution: Automating Billing with XVIII

Looking for a better way, Willowbrook Meadows turned to XVIII, a white-label solution powered by PlayMoreGolf. XVIII was designed to bring everything together under one roof and remove the need for manual intervention.

Here’s how XVIII’s leisure billing and payment system solved the problem:

  • Seamless Integration – XVIII connected the club’s different systems so that golf, spa, and leisure bookings could “talk” to one another.
  • Automated Billing & Renewals – Membership fees were processed automatically, with payments instantly reflected across all systems.
  • Direct Payment Integration – By linking straight to the club’s payment provider, transactions became faster, smoother, and far less error-prone.

What once required hours of admin now happens automatically — freeing up staff to focus on members rather than spreadsheets.

The Results: Accuracy, Efficiency, and Happy Members

Since adopting XVIII’s leisure billing and payment system, Willowbrook Meadows has seen a dramatic improvement:

  • Renewal cycles now run without stress or human error.
  • Staff have reclaimed valuable time that can be spent on service, not admin.
