## What is Golf Team?

Stop arguing about fair teams. Golf Team Generator builds perfectly balanced draws in seconds — by handicap or stroke average.

Add your players once, then generate balanced teams all season. The algorithm accounts for skill gaps, keeps partners together, separates rivals, and automatically adjusts for unequal team sizes.

FEATURES
• Smart team generation by handicap index or stroke average
• Linked players — always keep partners on the same team
• Avoid pairs — never put two rivals on the same team
• Large team adjustment — compensates when teams are uneven
• Groups — save your regular roster and load with one tap
• Events — name your outing, set a date and location, save the draw
• PDF export — team sheets with handicap display and tee times
• Share as text — send teams to the group chat instantly
• Cloud sync (Pro) — roster backed up across all your devices

Works for scrambles, captain's choice, best ball, charity outings, leagues, and club days.

Add players. Tap generate. Everyone agrees the teams are fair. That's it.

### 4/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-05*

This app is a great to to manage a large group of golfers. The only issue I have is you have to manually update the GHIN index every day for the whole group. This would be unbelievable if it would link to your GHIN number and automatically update.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-04-30*

I use this app every week to make the teams for our large group Friday outing. You never know who’s going to show up but once the final count is determined it is quite simple just to enter everyone’s name by selecting from a list of previous players and balance the teams that week for betting purposes.

### 5/5 — Saved time

*2025-12-29*

That is really made it easy for my group. We usually have between eight and 12 people every weekend so this makes it nice and any handicap person can play with us.

### 5/5 — Générateur d’équipe

*2025-11-27, version 3.5.2*

Simple à utiliser et bon rapport

### 4/5 — Grouping sizes

*2025-08-19*

You changed the groupings putting larger teams first. Please allow the option for smaller teams followed by larger teams.

### 4/5 — Sehr hilfreich

*2025-08-08, version 3.3.3*

Ich organisiere regelmäßig Turniere für 'meine' Seniorengruppe und diese App ist dabei eine tolle Hilfe. Der Entwickler der App ist für Vorschläge immer offen und hat schon einige, von mir vorgeschlagenene, Erweiterungen umgesetzt. Der Aufwand für eine finale Version einer Startliste ist sehr gering. Ein sehr hilfreiches Werkzeug.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2025-07-30*

I use it for our Sunday Golf Group to make teams.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-07-27*

### 5/5 — Golf teams app

*2025-07-26, version 3.3.2*

Great for putting together daily matches

### 5/5 — Balanced Teams

*2025-06-27*

This app is exactly what I was looking for. I am the tournament director at my golf club. One of the events I host is a weekly Thursday Night Scramble. The event is open to everyone! The sign up deadline is 15 min before a shotgun start. Once players information is entered and stored it is simply hit a button and balanced teams are put together!  A tremendous add on to the player information screen is their GHIN number.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! So glad it is working well for you.
