Golf league software: common questions, real answers

No, but that's our wedge. The platform was built around weekly men's-night play (handicaps, gross/net and skins results, league prizes), so that's what works best out of the box. The same platform also runs your tee sheets, pro shop, snack bar, junior clinics, member directory, and so on — those are per-club opt-in. Most clubs start with the league and turn on the rest over time.

From the league's own dues, the way clubs have always run it by hand. Members' league dues fund the prizes the league awards for gross, net and skins — golf's hole-by-hole competition — and AmaTour keeps the scores and works out the results. Prizes go to members' club credit balances, spent in the pro shop. AmaTour takes no share of the prize fund, which is the same whether a member pays by card in the app or at the shop. AmaTour is paid by the club: its monthly subscription, and the 3% card fee that comes out of each card payment a member makes in the app, described under transaction fees.

Onboarding is sales-led — contact us via the form below and we'll set your club up personally on the modules you choose, with your flights, prize splits, skins rules and tee sheet configured the way you run them. We don't have an open self-serve signup because we want to get those right the first time.

No. We set your club up with you on the modules you pick, billed monthly per module. Your club opens to your members when your subscription starts. Add or drop a module any time, and cancel any time.

Through the player app and the modules you run. With Tee Sheets, members book and prepay tee times from their phones, and the waitlist tells everyone waiting the moment seats open, so a cancelled tee time can be sold again. League members can book further ahead than everyone else, so the best times go to the people paying season dues, and a late cancellation becomes tee-time credit at your club. With Men's League, league dues, skins and tournament entries are paid in the app before the first tee, prizes go to members' pro-shop credit so they're spent in your shop, and hole sponsors are invoiced from your club's Stripe account. With any module, push broadcasts and pinned announcements reach the whole league, a trial-round invite link brings a prospect out to play, and members invite friends with their own referral code. Payments land in your club's own Stripe account.

Club-method handicaps (best 6 of 12) are built in — that's what most weekly men's leagues actually use. Members can also store their GHIN # and current index on their profile so the pro shop can see it. Auto-sync from the USGA system is on the roadmap.

Yes. Tournament brackets (4 / 8 / 16 / 32 players) for single-elimination match play are built in — pick your bracket size + seed order and the bracket auto-generates with standard seeding. Stroke-play tournaments use the same scoring flow as a league night. We also support Stableford points format for events that want it.

Yes. Round dues, season dues, and tournament entry all go through Stripe Apple Pay / Google Pay / card on the player's phone. Funds land in your club's Stripe account daily.

Right now the platform processes payments and routes them to your club's Stripe Connect account. Stripe handles compliance and PCI. We never touch your members' card data.

Members pay the price your club sets, with nothing added at checkout. A 3% card fee comes out of each card payment a member makes (tee times booked in the app or by pay link, round and season dues, tournament entries, house account balances and pro shop orders), and your club receives the rest: on a $100 payment, your club receives $97.

Yes. The mobile app shows a club picker on launch when you belong to more than one. Switch clubs anytime from your profile screen.

No. Every row of data is scoped to an organization with Postgres row-level security. It's enforced at the database, not just the app layer. Even a bug in our app code can't leak one club's data into another. More on the architecture →

It stays in the database for 90 days, fully exportable. After 90 days we hard-delete on request. You can also export everything (rounds, prize results, ledger) as CSV any time from the admin.

Yes — contact us for an annual contract across any module set. Roughly 15% off vs. monthly.

Yes. Events can be either 'weekly' or 'tournament' type. Tournaments support entry fees, their own prize splits, and 9 or 18 holes. We also support multi-event series — admin picks N events and a scoring mode (sum-all or best-N), and standings aggregate live. Useful for spring/fall series and order-of-merit-style standings.

Once the league is running, the same login surfaces everything else: tee sheets + reservation queue, pro shop catalog + order requests, snack bar + kitchen orders, course conditions board, locker / bag-room management, junior clinic registration, dining + caddie reservations, member directory, photo wall, hole-in-one wall, pace-of-play dashboard, yardage book with pro tips, trial-round invites for prospects, and monthly statement exports. Every feature is per-club opt-in.

Yes — the same Expo-based mobile app ships to both iOS and Android via app stores. Players install it from their store.

Yes. Cancel any time and you won't be charged again. We don't issue refunds for the partial month you're in, but you keep access until the end of the billing period.

Yes. Admins (and Owners) see all players, all rounds, all prize results. Players only see their own data plus public leaderboards. We don't expose other players' credit balances or payment history.
