How it works

Tee to green
in three steps

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.

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.

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 — old friends or new — 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.

Real-time tee time booking

Once you've found your match, book the tee time without leaving the app. Real-time availability, real prices.

Built for competitors

Every round is more fun
when something's on the line.

MatchStakes handles the matchmaking, the stakes, and the tee time — so you can focus on your game.

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.

Golf groups

Always play

Invite your regular crew by phone or username. Keep your group private or open it to nearby members.

Propose a game in seconds

Pick a date, time, course, and stake amount. One tap sends the invite to the whole group.
