Our client, the Women’s Golf Association of Philadelphia (WGAP), is the oldest women’s golf association in the United States, serving over 2,000 women golfers for more than 125 years. WGAP sought a modern backend platform to streamline club operations, tournament logistics, memberships, payments, and match schedules while integrating Golf Genius APIs and maintaining precise access control across admin roles.
They required a system that could:

WGAP relied heavily on Golf Genius APIs to manage tournaments and scores. Any disruption in sync could break critical workflows.
With varying user roles like super admins, staff, interns, and club managers, WGAP needed fine-grained access control to protect sensitive data.
Team matches generated large, complex datasets such as scores, player rosters, and match dates, which slowed down the system.
WGAP needed a comprehensive view of memberships, including club affiliation, handicap info, and real-time payment history.
Manually managing event schedules, tee times, and results across dozens of tournaments caused admin fatigue and errors.
Allow Global Admins to switch between multiple offices/clients securely, with strict role-based control.
Lack of activity logs meant poor traceability of admin actions, which was critical for a historic, member-centric association like WGAP.
The portal needed to centralize club data entry and updates for hundreds of affiliated golf clubs without duplications, inconsistencies, or manual rework.
WGAP wanted real-time visibility into thousands of membership and tournament payments while supporting accurate reconciliations and reporting.
We had to securely manage backend users and staff roles across multiple administrative tiers without compromising access control or introducing account duplication.
The WGAP backend portal now operates smoothly, leading to efficient management of golf club operations and member activities. Its modular design caters to our client’s ongoing needs for updates, tournament oversight, and payment processing, delivering user-friendly functionalities that meet all operational demands.
The integration of centralized club data management simplifies record-keeping, while the enhanced scheduling tools for open days and tournaments streamline event coordination. Membership and transaction tracking ensure transparency and accuracy, addressing critical operational pain points. Role-based access and detailed admin activity logging foster security and accountability, while customizable email templates enhance user communication. Collectively, these robust features enable WGAP to handle complex workflows with precision, significantly enhancing its capacity to organize events, manage memberships, and ensure smooth financial operations.
Modernizing a legacy system isn’t just about upgrading tech; it’s about preserving history while being agile. For WGAP, that meant giving decades-old workflows a fresh digital core without sacrificing precision, control, or familiarity.
So, we built a custom Laravel backend that plays well with Golf Genius, Stripe, and modern frontend stacks while respecting the nuance of how associations like WGAP actually operate. And the results are already measurable:
This approach continues to prove its value because we deliver:
