Golf has always been social.
It's never been truly competitive.

45 million golfers. 25,000 courses. No way to keep a real rivalry going. You play with friends when schedules align, at courses you can both get to, and track everything in text threads and spreadsheets. Distance and tee times shouldn't be the reason you don't have a real competitor.

There's no persistent ranking. No fair way to compare players across different courses. No system that respects handicaps and makes every round matter — no matter where or when you play. Until now.

Competition that fits
how you actually play.

Reciprocity gives golfers three ways to compete — 1v1 matches, a persistent ladder, and multi-player tournaments. You play your course, your opponent plays theirs. No need to coordinate tee times or travel.

Handicap-adjusted scoring normalizes everything by course rating and slope, so a round in Scottsdale and a round in Charlotte can go head-to-head fairly. Challenge a friend across town or across the country — the competition works wherever you are.

Discover new players and new courses through open rounds, track your head-to-head record against every opponent, and earn Ball Markers as you hit milestones. Every round you play builds your competitive identity.

Built for serious golfers.

Ladder Rankings

Your standing among a community of serious golfers. Move up by challenging players above you — the ladder rewards consistency and commitment over time.

1v1 Matches

Compete on your schedule, from any course. Stroke play or match play, same course or different — handicap differential keeps it fair no matter the distance.

Handicap Adjusted

Scores are normalized using USGA handicap indexes, course ratings, and slope — so a 12-handicap in Denver and a 6 in Miami can compete on equal ground.

Tournaments

Organized competition that fits your life. Weekly or monthly periods — play your best round at any course on your own time. Public or invite-only.

Find a Match

Get access to courses and players you'd never meet otherwise. Post a round, fill a foursome, or join one — and play courses you've always wanted to see.

Enter scores hole-by-hole as you play. Totals update automatically with net adjustments, and both players can follow along in real time.
