Birdie vs Chronogolf: Chronogolf No Longer Exists

What Happened to Chronogolf

Chronogolf was a golf course management and booking platform based in Canada. In 2019, it was acquired by Lightspeed Commerce and rebranded as Lightspeed Golf.

The rebranded Lightspeed Golf targets full-size courses with enterprise-level complexity, lacking features simulator operators need like bay-specific scheduling and utilization metrics.

What Birdie Offers That Chronogolf Never Did

• Bay-by-bay scheduling with real-time availability
• Membership management and recurring billing
• Utilization analytics (see which hours and bays are underperforming)
• Point of sale for retail, food, and add-ons
• Embeddable booking widget for your own website
• Revenue dashboards — not just a booking calendar

Verdict: Birdie vs Chronogolf

Birdie is built specifically for golf simulator businesses — small-to-mid-sized indoor venues with anywhere from one to twelve bays.

Chronogolf served traditional golf courses and was never designed for simulator studios.
