Why caddie.fun
Every other app is built for the solo golfer. We are built for the group.
Stats apps, GPS apps, rewards apps, watch apps - the category is crowded with great tools for the individual round. caddie.fun is the clubhouse for what your group does together: the stakes, the season, the rivalries, and the caddie that gets sharper with every round you play.

How the clubhouse holds together
Three rails, one institution
The group, the stakes, and the caddie are not three features bolted together. They are the three rails of a single product, and each one makes the others better the longer your group plays.
The Group
The group is the unit
Most golf apps are built for the solo improver. We started from the foursome. Groups are first-class: seasons, tournaments, rivalries, hall-of-fame records, and a web spectator hub anyone in the group chat can open without downloading anything. Every round you play together compounds into a season that actually means something.
Explore groupsThe Stakes
Stakes are infrastructure, not a feature
22 game formats with proper USGA stroke allocation, plus 16 side bets that layer on top - closest-to-pin, longest drive, snake, the golden ferret, ace pool. Pots are tracked in cfUSD play money (no cash value today) and settle when the scorecard closes. Friends can also settle real cash via Venmo off-platform. The chase-down-who-owes-what tax disappears.
See stakes formatsThe Caddie
A caddie that compounds with your game
Pre-round shot-by-shot strategy with hazard-aware club picks, weather-adjusted yardages, and a hole map for every tee. After the round, a recap built from your actual scoring patterns. The more rounds you play inside caddie.fun, the more your caddie knows about your tendencies, your tilt holes, and what to drill this week.

The honest gaps
No hand-waving. If a competitor is the right pick for one of these, we will tell you.
Course database
We cover 200+ US courses today. International coverage and a 40,000+ database is on the roadmap.
3D flyovers and AR overlays
Our rangefinder ships with wind and elevation adjustments. Flyovers and AR are not built yet.
Official GHIN / USGA score posting
We compute a WHS-style index from your rounds. Official GHIN posting is partnership-gated and not live - TheGrint still leads for that job.
Auto-shot tracking with sensors
If you want every shot tracked passively from your bag, Arccos is the right tool. We focus on the round, the group, and what's on the line.
Multi-language support
Today caddie.fun is English-only. Localization is a known gap.
