Golf betting games, scored and settled automatically
Fairway Funds is a golf scoring app for the games your group actually plays. Run a Nassau, a skins pot, greenies and birdies in the same eighteen, let the app apply handicap strokes hole by hole, and walk off the last green knowing exactly who owes who.
What Fairway Funds does
Every game settled at once
Run several bets in a single round. Fairway Funds scores each one separately and then nets everything into one number per player.
Handicaps done properly
Enter a handicap index and the app converts it to a course handicap using the tee slope and rating, then allocates strokes hole by hole off the stroke index.
A share link for the group
Send a link and anyone can follow the round and the payouts live — no account, no app install, no screenshots of a scorecard.
Built for the back nine
Scores are cached on the device and queued when you lose signal, so a dead zone on 12 does not cost you the round.
The games it scores
Seven formats, all of them scored live and paid out at the end of the round. Each one has a full rules page if your group needs a tiebreaker on how it is meant to work.
Nassau
Three bets in one round — front nine, back nine and the overall eighteen. Presses are tracked and settled with the parent match.
Nassau rulesSkins
Win a hole outright to take the skin. Ties carry the pot forward, so the app keeps a running count of what the next hole is worth.
Skins rulesWolf
The wolf rotates every hole and either picks a partner or goes it alone. Lone-wolf multipliers are applied automatically.
Wolf rulesVegas
Partners combine into a two-digit number and the birdie flip is handled for you — the part everyone argues about in the cart.
Vegas rulesNines
The threesome game, also called 5-3-1 or baseball. Nine points go out on every hole and the running point total drives the payout.
Nines rulesGreenies
Closest to the pin on the par 3s, with carryovers when nobody hits the green. Stacks on top of whatever main game you are playing.
Greenies rulesBirdies
A straight cash bounty for going under par, with eagles counting double. The simplest way to add money to a casual round.
Birdies rulesHandicaps, without the argument
A bet between golfers of different abilities only works if the strokes are right. Fairway Funds follows the standard method: your handicap index is converted to a course handicap using the slope and rating of the tee you are actually playing, and those strokes are then allocated hole by hole against the card's stroke index. Low man plays off scratch, everyone else gets the difference.
Every game is then scored on net, and each player's strokes are visible on the hole where they fall, so there is no mystery about why a 6 beat a 5. Playing handicaps can be adjusted for a single round when your group agrees someone is getting too many — the adjustment applies from that hole forward and earlier holes keep their original strokes.
How a round works
Pick your course and tees
Search the course directory, choose the tee each player is on, and the ratings, slopes and hole stroke indexes come with it.
Choose the games and the stakes
Turn on as many games as your group plays — a Nassau, skins, greenies and birdies can all run in the same round — and set the dollar amount for each.
Enter scores hole by hole
One tap per player per hole. Standings, carryovers, presses and the running money update as you go, and scoring keeps working when the signal does not.
Settle up in the parking lot
The round closes with one net-money figure per player across every game, so nobody is doing arithmetic on the back of a scorecard.
Look up a course without signing in
The course directory is open to everyone. Every course page lists the tees with their ratings, slopes and yardages, plus the par and stroke index for all eighteen holes — which is exactly what you need to work out strokes before a match, whether or not you ever create an account.
