What it is
Orhuk provides booking and management software for pickleball clubs, racquet facilities, sports venues, climbing gyms, and boutique fitness studios. Scheduling covers open play, court reservations, round robins, ladder leagues, clinics, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists. Facilities can manage memberships, credits, session packs, digital waivers, staff shifts, maintenance windows, point of sale, and multiple locations. Customers use a branded booking site to check availability, book and pay, manage memberships, and sign waivers. Listed connections include Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Razorpay, DOKU, webhooks, an embeddable booking widget, and a REST API. Orhuk says its free plan includes all features without tiers or caps and has no subscription or monthly fee listed. The default 3% booking fee is covered by players unless a facility chooses to absorb it. Online payments use the facility’s own Stripe account, and Stripe’s standard processing fees apply. Orhuk also describes an AI assistant that previews changes to pricing, staff schedules, and bookings before they are applied.

The review
Orhuk is a booking and operations platform for pickleball clubs, racquet facilities, sports venues, climbing gyms, and boutique fitness studios. It suits operators running both reserved court time and organized activities across one or more locations. The strongest case is broad functionality without a subscription; the cost model shifts to a fee on every transaction.
Overview
Orhuk brings reservations, programmed sessions, memberships, payments, and facility administration into one system. Supported court types are pickleball, tennis, and basketball, with customer access through a branded web booking site. Players can check availability, reserve activities, pay online, manage memberships, and sign digital waivers without being sent to a competing-business marketplace.
The platform supports Android, iOS, web, and API access. Its setup process includes an AI assistant that Orhuk says can configure courts, open play, and pricing in six minutes. That is most useful for a new or expanding facility that wants a guided starting point rather than a long manual configuration.
Key features
Scheduling and programming
This is more than a court-calendar product. Facilities can run open play, round robins, ladder leagues, clinics, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists. Drag-and-drop scheduling helps staff rearrange sessions, while maintenance windows prevent unavailable courts from being booked. The breadth is valuable for clubs with a changing program; a venue offering only simple reservations may not need this much operational range.
Memberships and operations
Memberships, credits, session packs, and e-signature waivers support recurring customers and prepaid participation. Staff shift management, point of sale, and multi-location support extend the system into daily venue administration. Online payment collection is included, but access control is not, so facilities requiring integrated entry management will need another solution or process.
AI and integrations
An AI assistant can propose updates to pricing, staff schedules, and bookings from natural-language instructions, with changes previewed before they are applied. That review step is important for operators who want automation without giving up approval. Integrations include Stripe, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Razorpay, DOKU, an embeddable booking widget, webhooks, and a REST API, giving larger operations several ways to connect existing tools.
Pricing
Orhuk’s Free plan has custom pricing terms: no subscription or monthly fee, everything included, unlimited resources and team members, and a flat 3% fee per transaction. Players cover the 3% booking fee by default, although a facility can absorb it instead. Online payments use the facility’s own Stripe account, and Stripe’s standard processing fees still apply.
There are no feature tiers or stated resource caps, so the plan fits facilities that want memberships, multi-location management, programming, and operational tools without paying more as their team or resource count grows. The trade-off is variable cost: high booking volume can make the transaction charge more significant than a predictable monthly subscription. Facilities that prefer fixed budgeting should compare that ongoing percentage with paid alternatives.
Platforms
Orhuk supports Android, iOS, web, and API connections. Customer booking is delivered through the web, while the API, webhooks, and embeddable widget provide options for custom portals and connected workflows.
Who it's for
Orhuk is a strong match for pickleball and racquet clubs, sports venues, climbing gyms, and boutique fitness studios that combine reservations with leagues, lessons, clinics, or tournaments. Multi-location operators and teams needing unlimited staff accounts benefit most from the no-subscription structure. It is less suitable when integrated access control is essential or when a facility would rather pay a fixed monthly amount than a percentage of each transaction.
Pros and cons
Pros
- No subscription or monthly fee: reduces fixed software overhead, especially for smaller or seasonal facilities.
- Unlimited resources and team members: avoids plan-based caps as operations expand.
- Broad activity support: covers reservations, leagues, lessons, tournaments, and waitlists in one scheduling environment.
- Branded customer booking: keeps availability, payments, memberships, and waivers in the facility’s own booking channel.
- Strong integration surface: Stripe, QuickBooks, calendars, payment options, widgets, webhooks, and REST API support varied workflows.
Cons
- 3% transaction fee plus Stripe charges: can cost more than a fixed plan for venues processing substantial booking volume.
- No access control: operators needing door or entry management will require another system.
- Custom pricing: the absence of a published dollar price makes forecasting harder before contacting Orhuk.
Alternatives
Court Reservation Software is the broader category to review when you want to compare multiple booking products.
CourtBeam is a better fit for a small operation that can live with two reservable court calendars on its free plan, or for a club ready to pay $99 a month for its Club plan.
PlayRez suits tournament-focused operators wanting all tournament features with $1 deducted from each paid signup.
Eyes On Club offers a free Core plan centered on court reservations and a booking portal and app.
PickLM is aimed at approved clubs seeking full feature access during its free launch period.
ClubSpark is a paid alternative with a $20 a month Basic plan, annual billing, a 12-month contract, and a 150-member limit.
CortClub is a paid sports and venue management option.
CourtKeeper is a paid choice with court-based plans starting at $99 a month for up to eight courts.
CourtReserve is a paid platform supporting Android, iOS, web, and API access.
Verdict
Choose Orhuk if you run a multi-activity sports or fitness facility and want memberships, scheduling, operations, and customer booking without a recurring subscription. Look elsewhere if access control is central to your operation or if a predictable monthly bill matters more than unlimited resources and a 3% transaction model.
