About

Shankdt

Features
Read full description

Shankdt is South African golf, in one app. TEE TIMES AT 200+ COURSES Tee times and rates at 200+ courses across all nine provinces — 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%. Booking is waitlist-only for now: nothing is booked or charged in the app. Join the waitlist at shankdt.com and you'll get one email when booking opens. Green fees are paid at the club, exactly as always, and the club keeps 100% of them. NEVER PLAY ALONE See open games near your handicap in the Clubhouse — joining one opens with booking. Solo on a Saturday doesn't have to mean playing alone. TRACE YOUR BALL FLIGHT Film your shot and the tracer draws the flight line, then gives you carry, apex and hang time — every number an estimate from your phone's camera. Share a clean card of that one good swing you'll talk about all week. 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. THE CLUBHOUSE See what your mates are shooting, follow events, and keep your own golf story. Own every shot. Even that one.
