Set up an event in minutes

Guided league builder

Name your league, pick the course and tees, and set the schedule — day, start time, number of weeks, 18 or 9 holes.
Choose a format and Hold the Green configures scoring, standings, and points automatically.
Reuse a previous league's setup so you don't rebuild settings every season.
Search a worldwide course database, drill into hard-to-find courses, and pick the exact tee set you're playing.
Run a multi-course season — add every course you’ll play and assign one to each round, and course handicaps follow the course actually played.
Give your event a cover photo — snap one with your camera or upload your own — and it appears on your dashboard, the events list, and the event header.

Thousands of ways to play

Formats, team rules, scoring basis, and season options combine into thousands of distinct event configurations.

Stroke PlayStablefordModified StablefordMatch PlayNassauSkinsScrambleBest BallAlternate Shot2v2 Match PointsBlind Draw

Stroke Play

Classic lowest-score-wins, individual or team, net or gross.

Team play your way

Best ball, scramble, alternate shot, or aggregate — 2- or 4-player teams, with rotating pairs for foursomes.

2-vs-2 match points

Weekly head-to-head: the winning side earns match points (split on a tie), turning the season into a win-loss-halve race. Works for 2- and 4-person rotating teams.

Stableford & Modified

Points-per-hole scoring that keeps one bad hole from ruining a round, with a built-in Modified table that rewards aggressive play.

Match Play & Nassau

Head-to-head, solo or in teams — each hole its own contest. Play a single match, or a Nassau: front nine, back nine, and overall as three matches.

Ryder Cup

Club vs. club, side vs. side: two teams across Fourball, Alternate Shot and Singles, mixed however you like each round. Captains run their own pairings, and the standings track the two-side match-point race — not a leaderboard.

Skins

Every hole is its own prize — the outright low score wins it, and tied holes carry over so pots build. Standings track skins won and earnings.

Blind Draw

An indoor-night favorite: a randomly hidden partner nobody can see until the round closes and the draw is revealed, with themed aliases until then.

Net or gross — or both

Run net, gross, or parallel net and gross competitions, with an adjustable handicap allowance.

FedEx-style season points

Award points by where players finish each round instead of a cumulative total, with a fully editable points table — including team-driven individual races.

Players, teams & rosters

Teams & rosters

Add players, remove them, or move them between leagues. Generate teams automatically, then rename and fine-tune — flag anyone who needs a substitute.

Teams & rosters

Auto-generate balanced, random, or flighted teams.

Handicaps in the standings

Track a league handicap that updates automatically (a WHS-style best-of calculation), connect a GHIN number, or use true course handicaps that adjust for the tee played by slope and rating.

Handicaps, done right

A running index, GHIN, or true course handicaps.

Prize sheets & fields

A separate prize list for teams and individuals, and for net and gross, with as many places as you award — spelled out before anyone tees off.

Prize sheets

Payouts for every way you're scored.

The share and invite dialog for an event, with a branded QR code golfers can scan to join

Each player gets an email or text with I’m in / Can’t make it buttons that work with no login and no app. They’re on the roster either way, and you can see at a glance who hasn’t replied — or confirm someone yourself. Share a branded QR code and a golfer joins in one scan.

Invitations that answer themselves

Everyone you add is told, and can reply without an account.

Claim your profile

Once claimed, results follow a player automatically. Co-organizers can be delegated to trusted helpers to share the management load.

Claim your profile

Players link themselves via code, email, or invite.

Per-player tees

Assign an individual golfer a different set of tees from the rest of the field — their course handicap is computed from the tee they actually play.

Per-player tees

Mixed-tee groups compete fairly.

Scoring that keeps up with the group

Scores go in on the tee, not in the car park afterwards. Everyone following the round sees each one land, and the board is already right by the time you shake hands on 18.

Hole 10 of 18, the whole group on one screen — each score saves as you accept the hole.
  • Live for everyone watching

    Enter a score and the leaderboard moves for every person following that round — no refreshing, no waiting for someone to post results afterwards.

  • Hole by hole, or the whole card

    Tap through one hole at a time with the group in front of you, fill in a full scorecard at the turn, or just post totals. Same round, whichever suits.

  • The right columns for your format

    Gross and net for stroke play, points for Stableford, “2 up / AS / 1 dn” for match play, skins won for skins. You never translate anything yourself.

  • Keep your own score

    Even when one person is scoring the whole group, anyone can keep just their own card from their own phone. Nobody waits on somebody else’s battery.

  • Share it with anyone

    Send a link or a QR code to a spectator board that needs no account and no login — for the clubhouse, or for whoever couldn’t make it.

  • Hand a group a code

    A guest scorekeeper code lets someone with no account keep their group’s scores. It only works for that group, and expires after play.

Collect the money without chasing anyone

Charging for a league night, a member-guest or a buddies’ trip usually means a spreadsheet and a lot of awkward reminders. Set the price once, let every player pay you in a tap, and keep a straight answer to “who still owes?”.

The dues dialog for an event: amount per player, what it covers, and which payment apps the organizer accepts — PayPal and Venmo selected, with Cash App, Apple Pay and Google Pay alongside
Set the amount, say what it covers, and pick which of your own payment apps you accept.
  • Everyone knows the price up front

    Set what it costs and what that covers — green fee, cart, lunch, the closest-to-pin pool — and it shows in every invitation, on the event page, and on the public listing. Nobody agrees to play before they know.

  • One tap to pay you

    Players pay through PayPal, Venmo or Cash App with you and the amount already filled in. No hunting for your username, no typing the figure, no “what was it again?” texts.

  • We never touch the money

    It goes straight from your player to you, inside your own payment app. We don’t hold funds, never see card details, and take no cut — so there’s nothing to sign up for and nothing deducted.

  • Know exactly who’s paid

    Every player carries a marker: unpaid, waiting on your confirmation, or paid. You confirm the money as it lands — including cash and anything settled outside the app.

  • Nudge the stragglers

    One email chases everyone who hasn’t settled up. Limited to one a week on purpose: these are your club-mates, not a mailing list.

  • Apple Pay, Google Pay, or your own link

    Neither publishes a payment link, so those two show players your handle and the amount to send instead. For anything they don’t cover, drop in your own payment link.

AI does the tedious part. You stay the organizer.

Two jobs nobody enjoys — translating how your group plays into settings, and typing a paper scorecard into a phone — now take seconds. Both hand you a draft to check, never a decision already made.

Describe your format and we’ll build it

Not sure which settings add up to the game your group actually plays? Say it the way you’d say it to a friend — “two-man best ball, net, 90% handicaps, front nine on Tuesday nights” — by typing or dictating, and we’ll pick the format and fill in the settings.

  1. Describe your format in plain English, or dictate it
  2. We match it to a real format and set every option
  3. Review what changed, adjust anything, then apply it

It’s honest when something isn’t supported instead of guessing — and it never applies a thing until you say so.

Snap the paper scorecard

Photograph the card at the end of the round — front and back nine if it takes two shots — and every player’s hole-by-hole scores are drafted into the app. No squinting at someone’s handwriting while four people wait.

  1. Photograph the group’s card, or upload a picture
  2. Every player’s holes are read and drafted for you
  3. Check the highlighted reads, then save the card

Anything the AI wasn’t sure about comes back flagged, nothing is saved until you’ve checked it, and every scan is kept so you can pull the original photo back up later.

We never let the AI have the last word. It drafts, you decide — nothing is applied to your event or saved to a scorecard until you’ve looked at it and said yes.
