FAQ

No — it's an invite-only beta. We're working out the kinks with a small group before opening up, so things will change and improve.

Request access with your email on the home page — you'll get a confirmation that you're on the waitlist. As we open up spots, we send invites by email. Your invite has a one-time link (good for 14 days) where you pick a username and password; you can add a profile photo and home course right after, or later.

Course details are crowdsourced. During the beta, our course database grows as members add the courses they play and fill in the details. If a course isn't there yet, you can add it — and if you have the scorecard, snap a photo and we'll read the holes (par, stroke index, yardages) for you to confirm.

From a course's page, use Add / update scorecard to enter its hole-by-hole details, or scan a photo of the physical scorecard and review what we read. You can also add a brand-new course from My Courses. Contributions become part of the shared database so every member benefits.

A friend you connect with in the app. Once you both accept, Playing Partners can see the rounds and photos you share, comment on them, and join Golf Trips with you. It's about sharing the experience — not a way to get on private courses.

A light, friendly alert to your Playing Partners when you update your profile — adding a new course, updating your handicap, or posting round photos. It shows as a small bell on your page. You're in control: mute Fore! alerts for any individual Playing Partner from the Playing Partners screen, or turn them off for everyone at once from Settings.

A shared space for a getaway with your partners. Before the trip, plan it day by day together — tee times, lodging, travel, dinners — shortlist and vote on courses, and track the budget. During it, each round gets a game (stroke play, match play or points) that scores itself from everyone's hole-by-hole cards. Afterwards the recap shows the leaderboard, scorecards, a map and the photos, and settle-up works out who owes whom. Scorecard also suggests trips it spots in rounds you and your partners played together on back-to-back days away from home — nothing is created until you tap to make it a trip. Trip members can see the rounds and photos attached to that trip even if they aren't all partners with each other.

A photo you add to a round is public by default: every member can see it on that course's page and in Guess the Course. Switch it to private when you upload it, or any time after with one tap; photos with posed or close-up people start private. Private photos — and photos that aren't from a round — are seen only by your accepted Playing Partners and fellow Golf Trip members. Photo files live at unguessable links and are never sold or used for ads.

Your scores and profile are private by default. Only the Playing Partners you accept — and members of trips you join — can see your rounds. Round photos are the exception: they're public unless you make them private (see above). We don't sell data and we don't run ads. See our Privacy Policy.

They're sent to Google Gemini, a third-party AI service that reads the data so you don't have to type it. You always review what's extracted before it's saved. We use a provider that doesn't retain or train on your images.

You can delete individual rounds and photos anytime. To remove everything, open Settings and use the delete-account option: it permanently removes your rounds, photos (including the image files), comments, partner connections, trip memberships, and notifications. Course data you contributed stays for other members, but is no longer credited to you. See the Privacy Policy for details.
