Getting started

How do I start a round?

GoodSpeed Golf is letting groups in from the waitlist.

  1. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when your spot opens.
  2. Sign in with that email.
  3. Open New round and say the round in a sentence, or answer three short questions (where, who and which game).
  4. Check it on the "Review and start" step and tap "Start the round".
  5. Share the link; players type their name and tap "Join the round", and you place them in the round's games from "Waiting to be placed" under "More" on the scorecard.

When does my group get in?

Groups come in from the waitlist in the order they joined. Join the waitlist and we'll send one email when your spot opens.

Do my players need an account?

No. An account keeps rounds, crews and a handicap across phones, and can be added after the round.

What is Today?

Your first screen when you're signed in, the first tab on the website and in the app. It shows:

  • Your round as a card: "Resume, hole N" while it's live, "Finish the round" or "Open the round" before it closes, "Open the finish" and "See your recap" right after, or "Play again" on your last round.
  • Your level and the XP to the next one, your XP this week and your weekly streak. Each opens Stats.
  • Rounds coming up.
  • "Needs you", when something waits on you.

"New", in the middle of the tab bar on the phone and at the right of the top bar on the website, starts a round, a league, a trip or an outing, or joins with a code.

Can I set up on my laptop?

Yes. Everything works in a browser.

Can kids play?

Yes.

  • A host can add a young player's first name to the scorecard, and that player doesn't use the app: no account and no chat, and the name shows only on that round's own card.
  • A teenager can have their own account, with public sharing off until they're 18.

The Terms say who can use GoodSpeed.

What is free, and what costs money?

Free:

  • Every casual round, any size, with every group game and side game, the live board, chat, the awards and the recap.
  • Joining any round.
  • Your first event: a trip or outing for every round played within 14 days of its first round, or a league's first scheduled round.
  • Your first 3 Pro rounds.

Paid:

  • Trips, outings and leagues after that: one credit per player per round, paid by the host, only for players with a score recorded.
  • Pro, for your own card and stats, and the Yearly pass.
  • Club plans. A club can book a demo first.

Prices are on the pricing page.

Which phones and browsers does it work on?
