Golf Scoring & Live Leaderboards

Live golf scoring
for your group.

Q: Do my players need to create an account?

No. Only the organizer signs up. Everyone else, players scoring and spectators watching, just opens the shared link. No app, no account, works in any phone browser.

Q: Can I run a one-off round without a full tournament?

Yes. Quick Play creates a game in seconds with no sign-up. Pick a format, add players, and share the scoring link. Ideal for a single-day match or a casual round.

Q: Can I run a multi round tournament?

Yes. Two round tournaments are always free. If your event runs 3 or more rounds, the $40 unlock covers every round for that tournament, no per round fees.

Q: Do I need cell service on the course?

It helps, but a dead zone will not cost you a score. Scores save the moment you enter them when you have signal. If you lose it, the app keeps scoring, shows how many holes are waiting to sync, and sends them the moment you are back in range. Spectators see the update then.

Q: How many players can I have in a tournament?

Up to 28 players per tournament. Teams do not have to be the same size, so a 12 a side cup or an odd-numbered field both work.

Q: Can one person score for the whole group?

Yes. You can group players together and share a single group scoring link. Whoever holds that link enters scores for every player in the group on the same screen, so a foursome only needs one person keeping score.

LeaderboardLive scores anything from a single casual round to a full multi-day tournament. Set up match play or stroke play in about 2 minutes, share one link, and everyone follows the leaderboard live. No app to download, and no accounts for players.

What is LeaderboardLive?

LeaderboardLive is a live golf scoring app that runs in a web browser, from a one-off round with friends to a full multi-day tournament. The organizer sets up the event, players enter scores from their phones hole by hole, and a shared leaderboard updates in real time for everyone following along.

Who it's for: Golf trips, Ryder Cup style team weekends, weekly leagues, charity scrambles, and single-day matches, for groups of up to 28 players.
What it scores: Match play in Best Ball, Scramble, Alternate Shot, and Singles. Stroke play scored gross or net. Stableford points. Team and individual standings are both calculated for you.
What you need: A phone with a browser and a data connection. Only the organizer creates an account. Players and spectators open a link, with nothing to download.
What it costs: One and two round tournaments are free, and no card is required. A tournament of three or more rounds is $40 once, which unlocks every round of that event.

Lock your leaderboard behind a code so only your group sees it. Not public unless you want it to be.

Our Story

Born on a
Buddy's 40th

Every competitive golf group has the same problem. You play 18 holes, score gets kept on a single card nobody else can see, and you spend the whole round guessing where you stand. You find out who's winning over beers after, if the math is right.

It started with a buddy's 40th. We tried every scoring app out there. Too complicated. Too much setup, too much time between holes punching in numbers. So we built our own: a scorecard you can fill in from the cart, a live leaderboard, points calculated automatically. Nothing more.

The first real test came in Graeagle, CA. (Highly recommend it.) The boys arrived buzzing and it only got louder. Every round, everyone on the course had an instant read on every match. No waiting. No guessing. Just the board, live.

Then came the final round. Team Red was down at the turn, trailing by 10 points. One text fired off to the group chat: "Let's go boys… The Miracle in the Mountains!!!!"

Four holes later, we'd flipped it. One of the most ridiculous comebacks any of us had ever been part of, and the entire group felt every hole of it.

Common Questions

Do my players need to create an account?

No, that's the whole point. Only the organizer signs up. Everyone else, players scoring and spectators watching, just opens the link you share. No app, no account, works in any phone browser.

What formats do you support?

Match play in Best Ball, Scramble, Alternate Shot, and Singles, plus stroke play scored net or gross, Stableford, and Skins. Every format gives you the full scorecard and stats, not just the result. Run head-to-head teams or one ranked field of individuals.

Can I run a one-off round without setting up a whole tournament?

Yes. Quick Play spins up a game in seconds with no sign-up. Pick a format, add players, and share the scoring link. Perfect for a single-day match or a casual round.

Can I run a multi-round tournament?

Yes. Two-round tournaments are always free. If your event runs 3 or more rounds, the $40 unlock covers every round for that tournament, no per-round fees.

Can I password-protect my leaderboard?

Yes. Add an access code during setup and only people with that code can view the board. Great for keeping it just between your group.

What if someone enters a wrong score?

Scores can be changed at any time. Open the hole again, fix it, and the board recalculates. Nothing is locked until the tournament is over.

Is the $40 per tournament or a subscription?

Per tournament, one time. No recurring charges, no annual fees. Pay once, done.

Do I need cell service on the course?

It helps, but a dead zone won't cost you a score. With signal, scores save the moment you enter them. Without it, the app keeps scoring, shows how many holes are waiting to sync, and sends them the moment you're back in range. Spectators see the update then.

How many players can I have in a tournament?

Up to 28 players per tournament. Teams don't have to be the same size, so a 12-a-side cup or an odd-numbered field both work.

Can one person score for the whole group?

Yes. Group players together and share a single group scoring link. Whoever holds it enters scores for every player in that group on the same screen, so a foursome only needs one person keeping score.

Does it work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. It runs in the phone browser on both iPhone and Android, and on desktop. There's nothing to install from an app store.

Is LeaderboardLive the right tool for my event?

It's built for golf trips, weekend tournaments, weekly leagues, and charity scrambles, up to 28 players scoring live from their phones. It is not tee sheet or club management software: no booking, no billing, no handicap index tracking across a season. If you need to run the whole club, not just the event, this isn't that.

The field is set.
