How it works

Tee to green
in three steps

01
Set up your profile
Enter your GHIN handicap index. MatchStakes verifies it and matches you with players of similar skill — scramble pairs or singles, your call.
02
Set your stakes
Choose cash, prizes, or honor-only. Add side conditions like press bets or skins. Both teams review and agree before a single ball is hit.
03
Book & play
Book your tee time directly through the app via GolfNow integration. Show up, play your round, and settle the wager your way.
Features

Everything a golfer
actually needs

Handicap-based matchmaking
Pair up with golfers at your level. GHIN-verified handicaps keep it fair. Filter by distance, availability, and format.
Scramble team builder
Link up with your partner — like your cousin — and post as a team. The app finds your opponents so you never have to cold-call strangers.
1v1 singles matching
Challenge other solo golfers to a head-to-head match. Browse open challenges or post your own and wait for a taker.
GolfNow tee time booking
Once you've found your match, book the tee time without leaving the app. Real-time availability, real prices.
Golfers competing on the course
Built for competitors
Every round is more fun

Staking

Your terms.
Your stakes.
Your rules.

Set the terms before you tee off. Both sides agree, both sides sign. No disputes on the 18th green.

Cash wager
Set a dollar amount per team. Losers pay winners directly — we stay out of it.
Prize wager
Dinner, drinks, a sleeve of balls — agree on a prize and play for it.
Skins & press
Add side games — skins per hole, press bets on the back 9, closest to pin bonuses.
Honor only
Just bragging rights. Still track your record and handicap through the app.

Early feedback

Golfers are ready

★★★★★
"Finally. I've wanted something exactly like this for years. Finding a scramble partner is easy — finding opponents at the same level is the hard part."
RD
Rob D.
HCP 11 · Westchester, NY
★★★★★
"The wager flow is exactly right. Both sides agree upfront, there's a record of it, and nobody's arguing on the green about what was said on the first tee."

★★★★★
"As a course manager, open tee times are lost revenue. A platform that brings pre-paid, motivated players to our door is something we'd pay for."
