Golf betting games without the headaches.

Play one game or ten. Across one group or many.
You just enter scores. GolfApp handles the rest.

More money changes hands in amateur golf than almost any other sport.

Not because it's reckless — because golf makes friendly competition accessible to everyone. GolfApp helps you play responsibly, settle up fairly, and keep every game honest.

Head-to-head & team games

Intersquad

Nassau

1v1 2v2

Front. Back. Total.

Individual, better ball, or team hi-low. Automatic 2-down presses, and as many separate matches as you want — even against golfers in other groups.

How to play Nassau

Match Play

1v1 2v2

Hole by hole. Win or lose.

Net or gross. Tracks dormie and close-out automatically.

Scotch

2v2

Six points a hole. Twist to double them.

Low ball, low total, birdie, proximity — plus twists and re-twists. Any house ruleset works: just enter the points each hole and GolfApp applies your stake to settle up.

How to play Scotch

Wolf

3-5 players

Pick a partner — or go it alone.

Any house rules, any group of 3-5. No setup — just enter the Wolf points each hole and GolfApp applies your stake to settle up.

Closeout

Coming soon

Beaten 5&4? Here's a new match.

A match play variation. When someone closes out early, a fresh match starts on the holes that are left — for half the original wager.

Bingo Bango Bongo

Coming soon

First on. Closest to the pin. First in the hole.

Individual & points games

Skins

2-20+

Win holes. Carry the pressure.

Net or gross, with carryovers or validation. Runs across every group in the outing, so one game can cover the whole field.

How to play Skins

Nine Point (5-3-1)

3 players

Every hole matters.

Birdie bonuses and custom point values supported.

Stableford

Any size

Points, not strokes.

Standard or modified scoring.

Dogfight

Coming soon

Beat your quota. Beat it by more.

Every player gets a points quota off their handicap, then scores on net performance. The winner is whoever finishes furthest above their own number.

Tournament-style & group games

Every format here is a stroke play variation — what changes is the team size and how many scores count.

All of them put the whole field on a live leaderboard: position, score to par, running total, and how many holes each team is through. The group still on the 1st tee can see exactly what's happening four holes ahead of them.

Stroke Play

1 v field

Total strokes. The classic.

The way the tour plays it. Net or gross, across any number of groups.

Net Best Ball

2-man teams

Two players, one score.

Each hole counts the lower of the two net scores. The partner format most member-guests and buddies trips are built on.

2 Best Ball

4-man teams

Best two of four, every hole.

Four-man teams counting the two lowest net scores on each hole. One bad swing doesn't put the team out of it.

How to play 2 Best Ball

ChaChaCha

Coming soon

Best 1, best 2, best 3. Then again.

Four-man teams. Hole 1 counts the team's best ball, hole 2 the best two, hole 3 the best three — then hole 4 starts the cycle over.

Progressive Best Ball

Coming soon

The par sets the count.

Four-man teams counting one score on par 3s, two on par 4s, and three on par 5s.

The bet you can't find a scorecard for.

Every game above resolves itself from the scores you enter. But the best bet of the day is usually the one somebody invents on the 4th tee — and no format covers that.

Mayhem is a blank text field. Write any bet you can describe, name a price, and send it to a friend. No rules to pick, no scorecard involved. It settles up with everything else at the end.

"Bet you three-putt the first green" "$5 says you can't carry the water on 12"
