TeeScout helps golfers find local tournaments and register before the deadline — no more digging through course websites and association pages one by one. Search by city, ZIP code, or course name, or tap "Near me" to discover events around you. Every listing shows the details that matter before you commit: date, registration deadline, entry fee, format, handicap system, spots remaining, and a direct link to the official registration page. WHY GOLFERS USE TEESCOUT • Discover tournaments near you — set a search radius from 10 to 250 miles and sort by distance. • Search fast — filter by city, ZIP, course, format, source, or handicap system. • See "Worth the drive" featured events you might otherwise miss. • Know before you go — entry fee, format, deadline, spots remaining, and course location on the map. • Save events — bookmark tournaments and find them again on the Saved tab. • Register in one tap — jump straight to the official registration or information page. • Works offline — bundled event data keeps the app useful even without a connection. TRUSTED SOURCES TeeScout aggregates events from course websites, regional and state golf associations, club and charity listings, Golf Genius integrations, and licensed handicap-system feeds. A source badge on every event shows where it came from. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Location is used only in the foreground, and only after you tap "Near me." • Saved events and interest preferences stay on your device. • Personalized sponsor recommendations are OFF by default and can be cleared anytime. • No account required. No background location. No cross-app tracking profile. TeeScout is free to use and supported by ads. Always verify final tournament details and availability on the official source before traveling.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: EGF at none against TeeScout's shown. TeeScout's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
