AI rules official
Text-, photo- or voice-based rulings grounded in the official Rules of Golf, in English and Spanish — every citation verified, committee local rules applied first, and a refusal rather than a guess when it should.
The road ahead
PaceClub started as an AI rules official. The ambition is bigger: the app every group keeps open for all 18 — for rulings, competition, and belonging to a club. Here's what we've built, what's next, and where we're going.
Available now
In your bag today
Everything here is live on iPhone (TestFlight) and in the web app.
Scorekeeping & handicaps
Hole-by-hole digital scorecards with automatic gross, net and course handicap, on real course data — and a shareable score card image.
Group rounds
Up to eight players, one six-character join code, and a shared live leaderboard that updates as everyone scores.
Private clubs
Invite-only communities for your regular crowd — joined in person by QR, never a public directory.
Tournaments: stroke play, best ball & scramble
Handicap allowances, committee tee policy, shotgun starts, net and gross leaderboards, countback tiebreaks, audited host overrides.
Skins, closest-to-pin & long drive
Hole challenges recorded by marshals, skins with carry-overs, and friendly side-game picks — all on the board.
Check-in kiosk & tee sheet
Players show their profile QR at a marshal kiosk; the tee sheet and check-in count show on the TV board before the start.
Public leaderboards & TV board
Share a live leaderboard link or put the airport-style board with sponsor logos on any screen — no app, no account.
Open registration
Open tournaments with join requests, so a single event can welcome non-members — charity scrambles, corporate days, society outings.
Web app
PaceClub in the browser at app.golfpaceclub.com, installable on any phone, with Pro subscriptions.
Golf Passport
Your club membership as a digital pass in Apple & Google Wallet, with a verification document you upload once. A starter at a partner club scans the QR to confirm your membership and guest privileges — no phone calls to the pro shop.
Club management
Roster tools, a permanent marshal role, CSV export, club announcements with in-app notifications, an activity log — and public club pages at /c/your-club with upcoming events and a join button.
Player stats & handicap history
Scoring averages and trends, plus your handicap index over time with a what-if slider.
Entry fees, photo wall & kudos
Charge a tournament entry fee, collect the round photos in one wall, and let players hand out kudos after the card is signed.
Guest mode & offline scoring
Join from an invite link without an account and convert later; scores queue up and sync when the signal comes back on the back nine.
Coming next
On the way
In progress or designed and queued.
Public App Store & Play launch
Out of TestFlight and into the public stores.
Android
A polished Android release alongside iOS.
AI-assisted tournament setup
Describe the event in a sentence — or paste the poster — and the app drafts the whole tournament: course, format, tees, side games, sponsors and local rules.
Match play
Ryder Cup-style singles and foursomes with hole-by-hole status.
Multi-day club championships
Two- and three-day events with a cumulative leaderboard across rounds and courses.
Club tee sheet & booking
A tee sheet the pro shop runs from a browser, with members booking their own tee times from the app.
On the horizon
The ambitious stuff
Bigger bets we are actively exploring.
Verified handicaps
GHIN integration to confirm official handicap indexes at registration.
Push notifications
In-app notifications are live; next is a push to your lock screen when your leaderboard position changes or your group is called.
More languages
Beyond English and Spanish — French, German, Japanese and more.
