### 5/5 — Incredible!

*2026-08-21, version 26.8.18*

This app is phenomenal. We used it for a 12-man tournament we held one weekend this past spring and this app was so cool. It’s pretty easy to use. It gives everyone live notifications of leaderboard updates. Plus you can set up mini games like closest to the pin, long drive, etc. I highly recommend using this app for a group outing. You won’t be disappointed

I have held my own golf tournament for my friends after our men’s club season ends for the past 5 years. I’ve tried all sorts of paper, and spreadsheet methods for managing my outings. I found and used Squabbit last year and am getting ready to use it again in 2026. It’s end user friendly, easy to setup, and fast to render results at the tourney’s end.
