### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-10-06, version 6.17.0*

Great app - works well, tons of features, and any issues are quickly resolved with the help of the ever-ready staff.

### 5/5 — Best App Used

*2025-08-10, version 6.16.1*

Have used multiple apps throughout the years.   App we used for years was full of glitches, features only on desktop etc.   Second app was good but handling of multiple day tournament was off. Golfify hits all the checkboxes.   Full comprehensive library of easy to use features.  Support is rapid on off chance you need assistance.   Full endorsement!

### 5/5 — The best app for golf events

*2025-08-07, version 6.16.1*

Love this app. Have used it for multiple events and all the players are impressed with the live scoring. And James is great at responding to requests for information. Highly recommend!!!

### 5/5 — Incredible app and customer service

*2025-07-22, version 6.15.0*

I am running a 3 day 5 round event at Big Cedar lodge and with the newly opened cliffhangers course not being added yet I reached out to the support team for assistant and they had it added within a day. It is an excellent app and even better customer service.

### 5/5 — Ryder Cup Event Was Great

*2025-07-20, version 6.15.0*

Been using the app since March time this year, and already said in previous review how great it is for my society. But we’ve just used it for a Ryder Cup event that we’ve played for 5 years, and it just made it so much better with the live scores, and the way it’s formatted. Still can’t actually believe how good it is, it’s stupid 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

### 5/5 — Great for Social Club

*2025-07-02, version 6.13.1*

I organise a social golf club with up to 70 players per round. We have been using the app for over 2 years now. This app makes it very easy to run after using cards for years. Instantaneous results without have to check cards. Great app that we can’t do without now. On top of that, the developer is always ready to listen and make improvements. Can not recommend it highly enough.

### 5/5 — Easy scoring

*2025-06-09, version 6.13.1*

Great app if you’re organising a mini tournament- takes the stress away and speeds up the prize giving process- fantastic addition

### 5/5 — Next level

*2025-05-28, version 6.13.1*

This app is tremendous. We ran a Ryder Cup style team event and it elevated the tournament up a level knowing how the other games were going, created a buzz on the course.  It’s simple to use and you can brand it with your colours/logos etc.  We’ve tried other apps in the past but they’ve never properly worked.  Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Great concept

*2025-05-04, version 6.13.1*

Used the app for a friends golf trip. Great layout. Only issue we had was the rounds for scoring would switch

### 5/5 — Excellent Score tracking

*2025-04-29, version 6.12.2*

We’ve implemented Golfify in our golf league and it’s a perfect solution for having a leaderboard for multiple groups.  What’s better than the app itself is the support staff.  They are always making the app better with new updates and quickly respond to requests for updates to course scorecards.

### 5/5 — Support and App second to none

*2025-04-23, version 6.12.0*

This app has it all and the support is amazing After trying all usual suspects, I keep coming back to this app ! Keep up the great work guys !

### 5/5 — WOW!!!!

*2025-03-23, version 6.10.1*

I honestly can’t believe how good this app is! I run a society, and we’ve wanted to use a live leaderboard for a couple of years now but not found one that was suited. However, started using this a few weeks ago and it’s actually made our society better right away. It’s incredible, and I can’t believe how good it is for the price I’m paying.

Thankyou, from all the lads at Friday Club 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

### 5/5 — Best app for golf comps!

*2025-03-22, version 6.10.1*

Have used this app for a few years. Isn’t a better option in my opinion for group comps and tournaments.

### 5/5 — It gets better and better

*2025-03-13, version 6.10.0*

Updated review, the continued updates for app just make it better and better compared to so many other apps out there for the same purpose. 

Far more ways of customising competitions etc. 

We have used it for our golf tour for the last 3 years and it makes the whole weekend that much more exciting. 

Great work

### 5/5 — Excellent App and support

*2025-03-11*

One of my golf buddies told me about this app. We decided to try to use it for our golf league this year and it’s absolutely perfect for our multiple rounds scoring, contests, live scoring with leaderboard, and it takes the manual math out of play. The first course we played wasn’t in the database and James with their support team got it added for us right away!

### 5/5 — Robust solution that gets stronger in each upgrade

*2025-03-09, version 6.9.0*

This is a very functional app at an affordable price. I've been a host user since its early offering and it's grown incredibly. Supports various formats including Ryder Cup team events using numerous sub-formats of play within. Tech support option well worth the cost, team is very responsive.

### 5/5 — Great product and great support

*2025-03-05, version 6.9.0*

This product has made our golf trips way more enjoyable. No need to worry about keeping scorecards and manually finding handicaps and skins. And the customer support has been great. Going on. Strip and noticed they didn’t have one of the courses on our list - they had it added the next day.

### 5/5 — Amazing for Ryder Cups

*2025-02-21, version 6.9.0*

We sought out an app that could host our annual Ryder Cup event, and Golfify delivered with flying colors. The features they offered and the ability to track the match real-time added an incredible element to our event. And now with the ability to track stableford and skins during a match play contest, this app really does have it all. Couldn’t recommend it enough. And the support provided for it is great

### 5/5 — AWSOME LIVE SCORING APP

*2025-02-11, version 6.9.0*

Loving the Golfify Live Scoring App.
Thought it might prove to be a post game time saver when tallying score cards in our Aussie based Social Golf Club.
It has proven to be just that & more! It provides many scoring formats with a live leader board as well as Near pins etc in multiple gradings.
Members can enjoy a cold beer after their round & view in real time  how their mates are going as they complete their round.
It is easy to use & is free to members to download & use other than the Host. (Free version for up to 8 players)
This App has it all & is great value for money…
Thanks James….

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-05-23, version 5.6.0*

Shouldn’t have to register anything.  I should be able to go anonymous.

And it didn’t have the course I wanted either.

### 1/5 — Verification email never arrived

*2023-01-15, version 4.4.2*

Not in spam, tried various attempts.  Broken.

### 4/5 — App

*2026-01-18, version 6.21.0*

Had some issues downloading scorecards. Waiting on the update to correct that.
Also would love to see more scoring formats. Like par events, ect.

### 4/5 — First event complete

*2023-08-01, version 4.7.0*

Super intuitive app for running golf events. Easy to get people registered. Easy to set tournament structure. Easy to track scoring. Live feed is awesome. Submit several ideas to creator for improvements/enhancements and they responded quickly with supportive comments.

### 4/5 — Golf app for PGA and LIV style events

*2023-05-10, version 4.7.0*

This app worked great in real time while playing with 2 separate tee times. Live scoring for individual and team with handicaps for gross and net scoring. Worked just like we wanted. Create your groups first, sub groups as well, then create your event, add your groups and you will have a blast.

### 5/5 — Tom F

*2026-08-17, version 7.5.1*

Great App!!Was so good watching the scores come in. Definitely recommend!

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-08-13, version 7.5.1*

Best app for live scoring! Simple, easy and very comprehensible for all golfers. We used it with our group of 40 guys and it worked great. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-05-18, version 7.5.1*

What a great golf scoring and event app! I’ve tried out a number of different golf apps, and I have to say, Golfify is, in my opinion, by far the best one out there. It’s very intuitive and easy to use; the help and support areas are excellent, and James & Staff are very prompt in getting back to you with solutions to any problems you might experience.

We’ve run this on a number of rounds with our group, and everyone loves the app. Especially the live leaderboard and messaging. No matter what game you are playing, Golfify handles it beautifully and does all the math.

I would highly recommend this for anyone seriously looking for a golf app to create events, tournaments or just for simple scoring. Free for up to 8 players and very reasonably priced tiers above that.

### 5/5 — Love Golfify!

*2026-05-18, version 7.5.1*

We have a group of 12 retirees that enjoy a golf trip every year with one another. We have been using spreadsheets and old antiquated software in the past but switched to Golfify this year. We loved it!  The guys loved seeing realtime updates to the tournament. It was easy to setup and use for our little more “experienced” group.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-08, version 7.5.1*

For a beginner wanting to get started it can be a bit daunting trying to find an app. And certainly not one you have to pay for when you might discover you don’t even enjoy the game. This app has been great for keeping track of scores and planning events. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great App for Societies

*2026-03-11, version 7.1.0*

Downloaded this app to help out my small golf society (only 8 of us). Wanted something where we could all score and keep an eye on how everyone was doing. It has made such a difference to our competitions and makes it a lot more fun seeing the live updates. Developers are brilliant and answer questions within 24 hours. It’s free for small societies like ours at the moment but if we got bigger I would pay the subscription to keep using the app. If there was one thing I’d like to see in the future is team badges or colours so we could assign players to teams at the start of each season.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and so much functionality

*2026-03-09, version 7.1.0*

Have used a number of other apps for previous trips. This one allows for so much personalisation and well worth the subscription. Great on line support as well

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-01-21, version 6.21.0*

This is a great app. James and his team are very responsive…when asked to add a course that wasn’t listed. It was added within 48 hours without a problem. Great service!

### 5/5 — Great for small groups!

*2025-10-28, version 6.19.0*

I was looking for something to use within our small group of 8 guys when at Myrtle Beach next year.  After testing it out, this is going to add some new flavor to our games since both groups will see live how everyone is doing.  App is also easy to use and can track multiple games.

### 5/5 — Great App & Service

*2025-10-18, version 6.18.0*

We’ve implemented this on both our spring and fall Ryder Cup style weekends.  We also use for weekly rounds.  James and his team are extremely responsive and accommodating to any questions, suggestions, or course updates you may have!
