The Czar
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Czar runs your golf group's day, from the first tee time to the last putt. One host sets up the round. Everyone else joins with a five-character code and keeps their own card. Scores land on a shared leaderboard as they're entered. EVERY GROUP PLAYS ITS OWN GAME Up to thirty-two players, across as many as eight tee groups of four. Each group picks what it's playing — they don't all have to play the same thing. • Match Play — 1v1, 1v2 or 2v2, with a closeout rule you choose • Carts, Drivers, Others — 6-6-6 for a foursome: a new partner every six holes • 9-Point — three players, nine points a hole • Medal — everyone plays their own ball AND THE WHOLE FIELD PLAYS TOGETHER • Skins — one per hole, to the lowest gross across the field. A tie pushes, and never carries over. • The Big Game — set a gross cut, and the players who make it are randomly paired for best ball. Front nine and back nine over eighteen. BUILT FOR A ROUND, NOT A SPREADSHEET Nothing is cached. Correct a score on the ninth hole after everyone's in the clubhouse and every leaderboard, skin and result fixes itself. Course pars and yardages are copied in when the round is created, so the card keeps working when the signal doesn't. No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Just a scorecard for your group. Hosting a round is a subscription — $0.99 a month or $4.99 a year after a 7-day free trial. Joining a round is always free.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: The Czar at every 5 days against DECADE's every 2 months. DECADE's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
