Step inside. SideAction Saloon is built exclusively for golf side games. Not a GPS. Not a rangefinder. Not a handicap tracker. We cover every popular game your group actually plays for money — 17 side games plus full-group formats — and settle the whole thing at the end. Every side game. All the math. None of the arguments. FOUR GAMES, ALWAYS FREE Skins, Nassau, Sixes, and DOTS are yours at no cost — play them as much as you want. Unlock the full saloon when you're ready. SKINS (free) Low score wins the skin. Ties carry over. Classic, clean, and always worth watching on 18 when the pot is stacked. NASSAU (free) Three bets in one round: front 9, back 9, and the full 18. Down a bet? Press to open a new one. The oldest wager in golf. WOLF Each hole, one player is the Wolf. Watch the tee shots, pick your partner — or go alone and double the money. Best ball decides who walks away. WOLF SCOTCH Eight points up for grabs every hole: low ball, low total, birdie, proximity. Win them all and trigger a BLITZ — points double. BANKER The hole winner becomes the Banker. Bet against them one-on-one, then press to double down before they tee off. BINGO BANGO BONGO Three ways to win every hole: first on the green, closest to the pin, first in the hole. Long hitters get no edge. DOTS (free) Every good shot counts. Fairway? Dot. Green in regulation? Dot. One-putt? Dot. Birdie? Two dots. The fairest game for mixed-skill groups. SIXES (free) Built for foursomes. Partners rotate every six holes — three team matches in one round, so you play alongside everyone. NINES Built for threesomes. Five points for first, three for second, one for third. Nine points a hole, cleanest math in golf. HAMMER Golf meets Texas Hold'em. Any team can hammer to double the pot — after any shot, at any time. Fold to cut your losses. Match to stay alive. LANDMINES Acey Deucey with a twist. Low score wins big, high score pays. Hit water, sand, a tree, or three-putt and the landmines are tripped. Every mistake counted. Press another player on the short putts for DOH! VEGAS Team up and combine your scores into one two-digit number — low ball first. Birdies flip the opponents' number. …AND MORE Sandies, Greenies, Closest to the Pin, and Chaos Card — draw a card each hole for stake modifiers, skill challenges and rule twists. OUTINGS UP TO 24 PLAYERS Six foursomes, one event. Play a full-group format alongside the side action — Net Stroke Play, Stableford, Match Play, Scramble, Shamble, Two-Man Best Ball, Chapman/Pinehurst — handicap-adjusted on one live leaderboard. SET IT UP BEFORE YOU GET THERE Create a code the night before and send it out. Everyone signs themselves up from their own phone and claims a foursome. When the group is set, you call it — and every phone drops into the round at once. No sorting it out in the parking lot. RUN IT BACK Playing again tomorrow? One tap clones the whole setup onto a fresh code. Built for buddies trips, where the teams change day to day. THE CLUBHOUSE BOARD Prop an iPad up at the turn and every foursome is on one screen — live standings, who's through what hole. POST-ROUND AWARDS When the scores are in, the round hands out its own hardware: Top Gun, Hot Hand, Steady Eddie, The Anchor, Snowman Alert, Comeback Kid, The Bandit and more — all from the scores you already entered. RUN MULTIPLE GAMES AT ONCE Play Skins and Hammer at the same time. Run DOTS alongside Wolf. One score entry covers everything. LIVE ROUNDS Share a code and your group joins from their phones. Scores update in real time on every device. HANDICAPS BUILT IN Toggle net scoring on any game. Enter your index once. The app does the rest. SETTLEMENT AT THE END When the round ends, SideAction Saloon shows exactly who owes whom. No calculator. No debate. Just pay up and grab a drink. SideAction Saloon.
