For Golf Course Managers
Golf course tournament software that hosts member events and outside outings without pro-shop chaos.
FairwayOS is golf course tournament software that lets a facility run member events, leagues, and outside-group outings from one branded platform — with player-friendly registration, live mobile scoring, and clubhouse leaderboards. Players never download an app or create a FairwayOS account, and FairwayOS takes 0% of registration revenue.
The golf course event problem
A busy facility juggles member events, weekly leagues, club tournaments, and the outside groups that book the course for an outing — and each one tends to land back at the pro shop as a phone call, a paper form, or a question only the staff can answer. When registrations, payments, and day-of scoring all run through the counter, the people who should be running the course end up running a clipboard instead.
FairwayOS gives players a branded event page to register and pay themselves, then carries the whole event through live scoring and a clubhouse leaderboard — so member events and outside outings both look polished without adding work to the pro shop.
How FairwayOS works for golf courses
Every event a facility hosts — member, league, or outside group — lives in one operating view:
Recurring event portfolio
Member events, leagues, outings, and club tournaments live in one operating view, so the whole season is visible at a glance instead of scattered across sign-up sheets.
Member-friendly registration
Player-facing event pages and registration flows let members and guests sign up themselves, reducing calls to the pro shop.
Course-branded experience
Your facility logo and colors carry through the screens players see, so every event reflects your course rather than a generic platform.
Outing hosting tools
Give outside groups a polished event without making staff manage every detail manually — the organizer runs their own outing on your course.
Facility-level snapshot
See registrations, players, event status, and revenue context across hosted events from one dashboard.
Clubhouse-ready displays
Put real-time leaderboards and event updates on the clubhouse TV where members and guests can see them.
Recurring events and leagues, run on repeat
Most of a course's calendar repeats: the same member events, the same weekly league, the same club tournaments season after season. FairwayOS keeps that portfolio in one view so the pattern is easy to manage rather than rebuilt each time, and league play carries season standings across weeks so members always know where they stand.
Outside groups get the same backbone. An organizer registers their players on a course-branded page, collects payment through their own Stripe account — with FairwayOS taking 0% of registration revenue and standard Stripe costs still applying — and runs live mobile scoring on the day, with offline scoring covering the corners of the property where signal drops. The course gets a busy, well-run event without staffing the admin behind it.

Frequently asked questions
What is golf course tournament software?
Golf course tournament software lets a facility host member events, leagues, club tournaments, and outside outings from one platform — covering registration, payments, live scoring, and leaderboards. FairwayOS keeps all of them in one operating view so the pro shop isn't fielding every detail by phone.
Does hosting outings on FairwayOS create more work for my pro shop?
No. Players register and pay on a course-branded event page themselves, and outside organizers run their own outings, which reduces calls to the pro shop instead of adding them.
How do payments work, and what does FairwayOS charge?
Payments run through the organizer's own Stripe account, so the money lands directly with them. FairwayOS takes 0% of registration revenue; standard Stripe processing costs still apply.
Can the events show my course's branding?
Yes. Your facility logo and colors carry through the screens players see, so member events and outside outings both reflect your course.
Do players need an app or a FairwayOS account?
No. Players join from a link and find their name — no app download and no FairwayOS account required — and scoring works offline when signal drops on the course.
