Welcome to CORE: where the experience of our members is our primary focus. We have developed a custom app to enhance your experience on and off property. We have a full member photo directory as well as a partner directory. With a touch of a button, you can request a table, a trainer or a suite. If you are in a hurry, you can order food and beverage and of course get the latest updates from the club. We hope you enjoy the new, digital CORE: Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. The CORE: app will attempt to shutdown background GPS services when they are no longer needed.

Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: CORE at free against PAS CONNECT's free with in-app purchases. CORE also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). PAS CONNECT's advantage is ratings volume (182 vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CORE holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PAS CONNECT has 182 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
