Golf has always worked like this.

Members have signed guests in for as long as clubs have existed. We just organised it. This is the story of why, told by the golfers who built it.

WHY WE BUILT IT

Every golfer has a list. Ours wasn’t getting any shorter.

We’re club golfers. Between us we’ve got the usual things: handicaps that won’t budge, a home club we’re quietly proud of, and a list of courses we’ve been meaning to play for twenty years. You know the list. Some of those courses don’t take visitors at all. Others wanted more for one green fee than a weekend away costs.

Then one of us got taken to one of them, as a mate’s guest. Signed in at the pro shop, a third of the visitor price, shown every blind line and every sucker pin by someone who’d played the place a thousand times. Best round of the year, and the golf was the least of it.

Driving home, the thought wouldn’t leave: every club in the country is full of members who’d love to do exactly that. The only thing missing was a way for members of different clubs to find one another. So we built it. We verify that everyone here is a genuine club member, make the introduction, and step out of the way.

What we are. And what we’re not.

WHAT WE ARE
A members' network built on reciprocity
Host one, play one. Everyone gives a round and everyone gets one.
An introduction service
We connect two members. The round itself is arranged between them, like any other game.
A round with the member, always
Your host plays with you. That's the point: good company, and someone who knows every yard.
WHAT WE’RE NOT
A tee-time platform
We never sell tee times, and never will. There's nothing to book here.
A payment platform
Money never passes between golfers or through us. Green fees are paid at the club, as they should be.
A way round green fees
Guests pay the club's own guest rate at the club's own pro shop. Nothing is dodged, ever.
A WORD FOR CLUBS

If our members’ guests are turning up at your club.

Then they arrive the way guests always have. Signed in by one of your own members, dressed for your clubhouse, paying your guest rate at your pro shop, and playing alongside the member who brought them. We never sell access to your course, no money moves through us, and your club’s rules are our members’ rules.

We’re club members ourselves, so if you have questions, we’d genuinely like to hear them. Drop us a line and a person will reply.
