Every event on your calendar

One platform. Every format.

Member-Guest

Two-day formats, flighted gross and net, live skins and side games that settle themselves. The weekend your pro shop used to dread becomes the one members brag about all year.

Club Championship

Stroke play across flights. Live cuts between rounds. Match-play brackets with auto-advancing rounds. The whole event runs itself while you run the grill.

Charity Scramble

Live in under an hour. Sponsor logos on every screen, permanent results page to send donors. One flat price, not a per-player gouge.

Corporate Outing

Scramble, best ball, alternate shot. Branded leaderboards with the client&rsquo;s logo. Recap PDF and photos delivered to HR Monday morning without you lifting a finger.

Junior Program

Multi-week series with cumulative standings. Parents follow live from the parking lot. Point tables, majors, season trophies. Kids actually check the standings.

Member Season

Mini-Tour Stop

Pro-level scoring with real-time leaderboards sponsors want to share. Multi-round cumulative, cuts, prize pool distribution built-in.

Invitational

Password-protected registration, invite-only allowlists, guest fees separated from member fees. The invite feels exclusive because it actually is.

Outing-as-a-Service

You&rsquo;re the tournament director running events for other clubs? Multi-property rollup, white-label branding, series across venues. We built Enterprise for you.

Every capability, on the record

Everything below is live. Right now.

Nothing here is a “coming soon.” Every feature below is live, in production, and used by clubs running real events this weekend.

AI Caddie

A caddy for every player. An assistant for every host.

Players get a fully functional AI caddy that handles rules questions, club recommendations, weather impact, game tips, and round-by-round progression tracking. Hosts get an AI assistant that builds tournaments from a plain-English description. “54-player member-guest, two-man best ball, two flights by handicap, Saturday-Sunday.” Paste that in. AI pre-fills the entire setup.

Club Site

Your club’s public face, on autopilot.

Every org gets a public `/club/[slug]` site. Branding, logo, colors, custom pages, schedule, results, standings, announcements. Your members stop asking “when’s the next one?” because the answer’s always at the same URL.

  • →Custom branding + logo + colors + domain (Enterprise)
  • →Auto-populated schedule + results + standings
  • →Announcements + custom pages your team controls
  • →Stripe entitlement for member-only pages
Members & Roles

AI Caddie

Every player gets a caddy. Your pros get their Saturdays back.

The AI Caddie handles rules, club selection, weather adjustments, and course strategy. Players snap a photo, ask in plain English, and get a ruling with the rule cited. But they also ask what club to hit, how the wind is affecting their shot, and how to improve their short game. Your pros stop getting radio calls from the 14th.

  • →Rules rulings with photo analysis and exact rule citations
  • →Club recommendations based on distance, wind, and elevation
  • →Game tips, course strategy, and progression tracking
  • →Included on every tier, no unlock required

Pools, payouts, and skins — handled.

  • →Division / flight / whole-field scoping
  • →Auto-calculated payouts at event completion
