“Your Golf Pad app and Events site is the best I’ve seen.

I’ve researched 6–10 tournament administration sites as well as many golf scoring apps and the depth and breadth of your offerings are second to none.”

Bob Dowe

“I compliment the Golf Pad Events team on really understanding what we need as tournament organizers. You have nailed it so far. I can’t wait for my members to be able to utilize this on the app and see the real-time feature.”

Tyson

“Golf Pad has saved me an incredible amount of time determining the winners and payouts for our events and is the most versatile and easy to use software on the market.

Best of all it allows all users to see the scores from their Phones and gives our club a professional look.”

Patrick Roman
Founders Tour

“The simplicity for both our parents to register, follow the event and TV leaderboard is awesome.

Simple & clean event page and registration portal. Tee time scheduling is the quickest and easiest process I’ve used.”

FAQs

Before your first tournament

Do my golfers need the Golf Pad app?

No. Golfers can register, view the event page, schedule and standings, and even enter scores in a browser without installing anything. The free Golf Pad app makes scoring even easier, with live scoring right from each golfer’s phone. Paper scorecards work too, and scores can be entered afterwards.

Which formats and handicap systems are supported?

Stroke play, Stableford, Modified Stableford, Best Ball, Scramble, Chapman, and Alternate Shot — played gross or net, with side games. Handicaps follow the World Handicap System. Automatic Handicap Index lookup through the USGA is a Pro feature, available in the USA and Mexico. Golf Pad Events may not support highly unusual scoring mechanics.

What is free and what is Pro?

Golf Pad Events is free for single-day events with up to 100 golfers, including registration, scheduling, standings, the public event page, mailouts, and the live standings screen. Pro costs $499 a year and adds multi-day tournaments, automatic flights, leagues across a season, unlimited field size, entry fees collected through PayPal, printed scorecards and cart signs, automatic USGA Handicap Index lookup, and sponsor placement.

Is Golf Pad Events suitable for a one-off charity tournament?

Golf Pad Events can run a one-off charity tournament, including sponsor placement and the tournament itself. However, it does not provide tools for collecting donations or managing fundraising.

Can I run a golf tournament from ChatGPT or Claude?
Early access

Golf Pad Events Agent connects through MCP, an open protocol that lets compatible AI assistants interact with external tools. It can work with assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.

The assistant can help set up an event, register golfers, arrange tee times, publish standings, and send mailouts. It’s currently in early access and not generally available yet. You can join the early access list on this page.

What do I need to connect it?
Early access

You need an AI assistant that supports MCP and a few minutes to add the connector. Claude includes one custom connector on its free plan, while ChatGPT requires a paid subscription for custom connectors. Setting it up from your phone can be the quickest option.

The Agent is optional — you can still set up and manage your events entirely in the browser.

Do I need Pro to use the Golf Pad Events Agent?
Early access

No. The Agent works with the free plan. What it can do depends on your Golf Pad Events plan: Pro features such as multi-day events, flights, and leagues are available through the Agent only with Pro, just as they are in the browser.

Create it. Share it. Golf Pad Events handles the rest
