Handicaps, net scores, and every leaderboard update the moment a putt drops — across every format you're playing at once. THREE WAYS TO PLAY Trips — multi-day golf getaways. Tee times, groups, team matches, and a leaderboard for every format, all the way to the last putt on the last day. Clubs — a permanent home for the group that plays every week. Rounds, handicaps, rankings and history that carry over instead of resetting. Rounds — a single round with the guys. Set it up in under a minute. FORMATS Stroke Play (gross and net), Skins with automatic carry-overs, Best Ball, Ryder Cup team match play with Singles, Best Ball and High-Low, and Stableford.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Delofted at none against Side Game Golf's 10. Delofted also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks). Side Game Golf's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
