Run your whole golf league in one place — for a few dollars a player.
Stop juggling a spreadsheet, a group text, and a Venmo thread. Set up your league, invite your players, and let signups, live scoring, standings, and payouts take care of themselves.
Chasing dues over Venmo, rebuilding the standings by hand every week, and fielding "what’s my score?" texts — running a league by spreadsheet is a part-time job nobody signed up for.
One app for the whole league.
Signups, dues, scoring, standings, and payouts live in one place — the same tools venues use, sized for your group.
Signups & dues, native
Players register and pay their dues in one step. No group text, no Venmo thread, no chasing anyone down mid-season.
- Register + pay in one step
- Dues collected up front
Live scoring & leaderboards
Enter or sync scores each week and players follow live net and gross leaderboards from their phone — the part that keeps a league sticky.
- Net & gross, updated live
- Players follow from the app
Standings & handicaps
Standings and handicaps update themselves as scores come in, so mixed-ability groups stay competitive all season.
- Auto-updating standings
- Handicaps keep it fair
Prize pool & payouts
The prize pool and end-of-season payouts are calculated for you, so wrapping the season is clean and transparent.
- Auto prize-pool calculation
- Clean season-end payouts
A few dollars a player — that’s it.
Fareway is $4 per league registration at founding rates ($6 standard), usually built into each player’s dues. No flat platform fee for organizers.

Your league, live in five steps.
- 01
Choose your format
Pick a format that fits your group — stroke play, Stableford, match play, or a skins game. Mixed-ability groups do best with a net format and handicaps so everyone stays competitive.
- 02
Set the schedule
Pick a night, a start date, and a season length (eight to twelve weeks is common). A recurring weeknight gives players a rhythm to build their week around.
- 03
Set dues and open registration
Add up your costs and set a per-player dues figure, then share a registration link so players sign up and pay in one step. Collect dues up front so nobody plays for free.
- 04
Run weekly scoring
Enter or sync scores each week and standings update on their own. Live leaderboards are what keep players coming back to defend a spot.
- 05
Pay out and wrap the season
At season end, the prize pool and final standings are calculated for you. A clean, transparent payout is what makes players re-up for next season.
