About

Shankdt

Features
Read full description

Shankdt is South African golf, in one app. PLAN THE WHOLE TRIP IN ONE GO The Trips tab takes a golf trip from an idea to a sent enquiry in five steps — Courses, Beds, Nights, Check it, Send it. Search 369 courses across all nine provinces by name, town or province, add them in the order you want to play them, and shuffle the route until it reads right. Pick the day you tee off on the first course, or say it is not fixed yet. Say roughly what time you would like to go out each day. Then send the whole thing as one enquiry, and a founder reads it and replies by email. A trip enquiry is not a reservation: nothing is held or charged when you send it, and the tee times come back to you after we have asked each club, because the clubs own their sheets. WHERE THE GROUP SLEEPS Tell us how many golfers and how many rooms, whether you want a bed near each course, one base to drive out from, or somewhere in town near the restaurants, and roughly what a room a night is worth to you. The app then shows what is actually mapped near each of your stops — guesthouses, hotels, chalets, apartments — nearest first, and you tick the ones you want us to price up. No prices and no availability are shown, because we do not have them until we phone. Those come back from a founder with the rest of the answer. Accommodation data © OpenStreetMap contributors. EVERY GREEN FEE, SIDE BY SIDE Rates at 369 courses, from championship tracks to your Sunday local, with the whole price on every one: the club's rate with Shankdt's booking service included, typically 8–10% of the club's rate and never more than 12%. Green fees are paid at the club, exactly as always, and the club keeps 100% of them. KNOW THE PRICE Every price tells you where it came from — the club's published rate, or our own indicative figure. Where a club publishes a reduced rate for golfers with an official South African handicap, you see it, and a verified badge for golfers whose handicap we've confirmed, checked by a real person. NEVER PLAY ALONE See open games near your handicap from the Open fourballs row on the Courses tab. Solo on a Saturday doesn't have to mean playing alone. GOLF DAYS AND CLUB COMPS When a club runs a golf day, a club competition or a pro-am, the club posts the fixture itself — the date, the format, the field and what it costs to enter — so it reaches you instead of dying in a forwarded WhatsApp. ASK MULLY Mully is the golf caddie built into the Trips tab. Ask about a course, a green fee or a rule in your own words. It answers on golf and nothing else. Own every shot. Even that one.
