Side Game runs your golf group's competition so nobody has to run a spreadsheet. Enter scores hole by hole. Handicaps, net scores, and every leaderboard update the moment a putt drops — across every format you're playing at once. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Trips — multi-day golf getaways. Tee times, groups, team matches, and a leaderboard for every format, all the way to the last putt on the last day. Clubs — a permanent home for the group that plays every week. Rounds, handicaps, rankings and history that carry over instead of resetting. Rounds — a single round with the guys. Set it up in under a minute. FORMATS Stroke Play (gross and net), Skins with automatic carry-overs, Best Ball, Ryder Cup team match play with Singles, Best Ball and High-Low, and Stableford. Run as many at once as the group wants. HANDICAPS DONE RIGHT Use each player's official index, or custom handicaps assigned by the admin. Set a different allowance percentage per format — 100% in Best Ball, 90% in Stroke Play, whatever the group agrees on. Strokes apply automatically per course and tee. 30,000+ COURSES Pick the course and the tees; the scorecard fills itself in — pars, yardages and stroke indexes, every time.
