Make Every Event Feel Pro Events under 8 players are free. Golfify is live scoring and event management for golf societies, clubs, corporate days and a Saturday roll-up with friends. From the first tee to the final putt, players see a live leaderboard — just like the pros. Over 42,000 courses worldwide. Create an Event in Seconds Set up an event from wherever you already are. Invite players, or add them yourself — only one device per group is needed to score, so it works even when some players don't have the app. Live Scoring & Leaderboards Want to know what you need on the 18th to overtake your mate? Now you can. Scores update as cards come in. Sort the leaderboard, hide it to keep the finish a surprise, share it with family, put it on the clubhouse TV, or embed it on your club or society site. After the round, review detailed statistics to see where you can improve. The Formats You Already Play Ryder Cup style matchplay, strokeplay, Stableford, skins, better ball, nearest the pin and long drive — in one event. Divisions and mixed tees on one board. Multi-round events up to 40 rounds for a season or a championship. Handicaps That Match the Card See every player's handicap before you lock the field. Handicaps are calculated the way your players expect, wherever they play — with the World Handicap System - Rounded calculation available where your region rounds, so net scores match the card. Keeping It Honest Lock the tee sheet so late changes can't scramble start times. Lock handicaps so nobody quietly changes a number after the first tee. Restrict scoring to a walking scorer or the official card when the result matters. Around the Event Printable scorecards, cart signs and QR codes get walk-up players onto the live leaderboard. Edit course information in the event if the yardages or hole details are wrong. Team nicknames, national flags and custom event images make a Ryder Cup day feel like one. Sponsor analytics show the exposure sponsors actually got. Built for Societies and Clubs Host events on a society group or your golf club’s official page. Claim the club page and run events from there. Societies can take a Group Plan — Free, Lite, Basic, Plus or Pro — move existing events into the group so the season lives in one place, and save drafts until you’re ready to publish. Golfify has been running real golf events since 2020. Subscriptions Optional annual plans — Lite, Basic, Golfify Plus and Pro — unlock larger personal events. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of that period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.

Golf Gooder's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
