Linked Booking Resources – link shared courts together!

Platform/Product/Module: Clubspark – Booking Module
Function: Link shared resources together

*Live: 04/09/2025

Linked booking resources allows you to link multiple resources together, so if one of the resources is booked, it will also block out the other linked resource for the same time-period. This prevents double-bookings and improves resource management.

For example a full-size tennis court may also be used as two pickleball courts. By linking the pickleball courts to the tennis court, if either pickleball court is booked, the full tennis court is also blocked at the same time, ensuring it can’t be double-booked.

How to Setup Linked Booking Resources

1. Go to the Manage Resources section within Clubspark

2. Create Unique Resources

  • Add each resource as a separate entity
  • For example, if you’re converting Tennis Court 1 into two Pickleball courts, create individual resources named Pickleball A and Pickleball B.

3. Link the Resources

  • Click edit on the newly created resources, navigate down to Linked resources and link it to the appropriate resource (e.g. Court 1)
  • Note: this step can be completed in the same process as step 2, creating the unique resources.

 

 

Your resources are now linked so if for example, Pickleball A is booked from 5:00pm – 6:00pm, Court 1 will also be blocked out during this time. Whilst Pickleball B will still be available for bookings.

Bonus Tip:
To improve resource management and make non-tennis resources (e.g. Pickleball courts) easier for players to view and book, we recommend creating a separate booking sheet specifically for these resources.

Venues with Venue Automation System (Book a Court):
Venues with the ‘Book a Court’ system installed may be required to install additional hardware equipment for any new resources added, particularly if users booking these resources will require access via booking pin and activation of court lights. Additional programming may also need to be performed by CSS to ensure appropriate validation of gate/s and court lights.

Please reach out to [email protected] to confirm if this is necessary for your venue set up.
