MatchPlay. Play more. Math less. MatchPlay is the ultimate betting scorekeeper for your golf group. Track Match Play, Nassau, Skins, Wolf, Vegas, Nines, and Sixes matches in real time with automatic handicap strokes, live standings, and instant payout calculations the moment your round ends. No more mental math. No more disputes. Just play. MATCH PLAY Head-to-head or 2v2 — MatchPlay tracks who's up on each hole with net scores applied automatically. Press when you're down, win when you're ahead. The match takes care of itself. NASSAU Three bets in one — Front 9, Back 9, and Overall, all running at once. Press a nine when you're down and MatchPlay runs it as its own sub-bet, handicaps and all. You always know who's up, who's dormie, and what it'll cost. SKINS Every hole is its own battle. Ties carry the pot forward until someone takes it clean. MatchPlay tracks the live pot and settles the whole skin ledger at the end. WOLF The rotation changes every hole. Pick a partner after the tee shots, go Lone for double, or call Blind Lone before anyone hits for triple — MatchPlay tracks the team, the multiplier, and the money. VEGAS Two-man teams combine scores into a number (4 and 5 → 45). Lowest number wins the difference in points — and a birdie flips the other team's number against them. MatchPlay does the flip and the math. NINES (5-3-1) Three players, nine points per hole split by net score. MatchPlay handles the splits (5-3-1, 4-4-1, 3-3-3), applies pops, and keeps a live running tally. SIXES (6-6-6) Partners rotate every six holes — you play a match with everyone in the foursome. MatchPlay regroups the teams on 7 and 13 and settles each segment. CUSTOM Running a junk game, dots, or something you invented in the parking lot? Set a value per point and assign points by hand each hole — MatchPlay tracks the ledger and handles the payout. THE PRO SCORECARD A live hole-by-hole scorecard with standard golf notation (circles for birdies, squares for bogeys) so you read the round at a glance, plus handicap strokes shown right where you get them. YOUR PROFILE Claim your @username, set your display name and handicap index, and add a photo. Your profile lives with your account — sign in on any device and you're set up instantly. PLAY WITH YOUR CREW Find your regular partners by @username, send a request, and build your friends list. Add them straight to a match lineup and their handicaps pre-fill automatically. LIVE MULTIPLAYER Invite friends into a match and everyone scores on their own phone — MatchPlay syncs the round across all devices in real time. Accept an invite right from a push notification. SET UP IN SECONDS Search 40,000+ golf courses worldwide. Add up to 4 players with handicaps. Set your stakes. Tap Start. INSTANT PAYOUT When the round ends, MatchPlay shows exactly who owes who — net-settled to the fewest transfers. Tap Pay on Venmo to open Venmo pre-filled with the person, amount, and a note, or save the payout as an image for the group chat. BUILT FOR THE COURSE Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep your match status on screen without opening the app. Scoring works offline during your round — no signal needed at the turn. MatchPlay uses a free account so your profile, friends, and history sync across your devices. DISCLAIMER: MatchPlay is strictly a scorekeeping and math utility. It does not facilitate real-money gambling, connect to bank accounts, hold funds, or process or guarantee any transfer. All wagers tracked are for personal scorekeeping and entertainment among friends. "Pay on Venmo" is a convenience deep link that opens the Venmo app pre-filled with a payee, amount, and note — you review and complete any payment inside Venmo. MatchPlay is not affiliated with Venmo, Inc.
