Sweetspot Check-In lets golf club staff check players in at the first tee in seconds. Built for starters, reception teams and marshals, it replaces the printed tee sheet with a live view of today's play, so you always know who has arrived, who is still to come, and how play is moving on the course. CHECK PLAYERS IN • A rolling feed of today's tee times, with the next group always at the top • Check in one player, or a whole group with a single tap • Mark no-shows, and undo a mistake instantly • Search to find any player by name SEE THE WHOLE DAY AT A GLANCE • Live counts of who is checked in, still to come, and marked as a no-show • Separate figures per course for clubs with more than one course • Export the day's no-shows to share with the office KEEP PLAY MOVING • Log where a group is on the course when you meet them out on the round • See at a glance whether a group is ahead, on pace, or behind • Set the target round time and the number of holes for each course BOOKING NOTES • Add a note to any booking: lunch after the round, a buggy request, or anything the next colleague needs to know • All of today's notes in one place, with the author and the time MADE FOR LIFE AT THE TEE • Member or guest status, home club and handicap, at a glance • Designed for one-handed use on iPhone, outdoors • Available in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, French, Spanish and Polish ACCESS Sweetspot Check-In is a companion app for golf facilities that use the Sweetspot platform. Signing in requires an existing Sweetspot staff account; the app does not offer separate registration. If your club already uses Sweetspot, ask your club administrator for access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sweetspot Check at none against GolfAcross's 2. Sweetspot Check also leads on ads (none vs shown). GolfAcross's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
