Product tour

Four screens. The whole round.

Play home
01

Start or resume

Your next round is the first thing on screen. Start, join with a code or QR, see who's playing now and what's coming up.
New round step 2 — rating set and tee box selection with yardage, rating and slope
02

Course & tees

Every course carries its layouts, tees, pars, stroke indexes and yardages. Course handicap converts from your index, the tee's slope and rating.
New round step 3 — format and rules: Stroke Play or Stableford, stroke allocation, handicap allowance
03

Format & rules

Stroke Play, Stableford, Match Play — plus Skins and Sixes side games. Full or off-low allocation, allowance, stroke caps and a floor at zero.
New tee time — Make a game: course, date and time, 9 or 18 holes
04

Tee times

Set the group size, tag friends first, open the spare places to flight partners. Ghoolf connects players — it never books the club.

More than scoring

Every game you actually play.

Every format

Stroke Play, Stableford, Match Play, Skins and Sixes — with per-hole putts, fairways and greens in regulation when you want them, none when you don't.

Skins & money games

Player-set stakes with carryovers, rotating partners and clear settle-ups. A private, participants-only ledger — Ghoolf never holds money or takes a cut.

Voice scoring Planned

Planned: English voice entry for one player or your whole group, with undo and read-back. Voice scoring is not available in the released app.

  • Handicap desk: limits, full or off-low allocation, per-round playing handicaps
  • Tournament chat, published tee sheets and a reminder 24 hours out

What's in the app

Shipped, and how it works.

Tournaments with flights and shotgun starts

Draw flights at random, seed them from the standings or copy last round. Tee-time starts stagger by ten minutes; a shotgun start gives every flight one time and its own hole.

Live share pages with QR

Every tournament and every round has a link and a QR code. Anyone opens it in a browser and follows the field, the flights and the boards — no app, no account. The page says plainly whether the event is upcoming, live, paused or finished.

Register from the tournament link In testing

With registration open, new players continue with Apple or Google on the share page and become registered Ghoolf players — never guests. Registration closes when round 1 starts unless the organiser reopens it.

Finish round

The organiser closes a round from the hub. Anyone still on the course gets a 15-minute window with a live countdown, then every missing hole is marked X — no Stableford points, no return on that day's stroke boards.

One scoring engine

The app, the share pages and the PDF scorecard are held to the same conformance vectors, so a gross total, a net total or a Stableford count reads the same wherever you look.

USGA/WHS-conformant handicaps

Course handicap from your index, the tee's slope and rating; playing handicap after the format's allowance; strokes placed by stroke index. An unrated tee reads ‘tee unrated’ — never an invented number.

Individual and team boards

Gross, net and Stableford boards for Stroke Play and Stableford; Four-Ball Pairs (better ball of 2), Team Best Ball (4) and Team Net Best Ball for teams; Match Play for knockouts. Rows carry the golfers' names, by flight or full field.

Friends’ live rounds, with privacy

One switch — "Share my rounds with friends, live and finished" — governs it all. Turn it off and your rounds are yours alone: no live card, no spectators, no round-started notification.
Privacy & safety

Ghoolf coordinates tee times between golfers — it doesn't book clubs or process green fees. Handicaps are calculated in-app for your games, not posted to an official service. Money Games is private record-keeping; Ghoolf never holds money, processes payments or takes a cut.

Screens show the supplied Volt design, currently in private testing. The App Store may display an earlier interface.

Golf,
