The golf trip & bachelor party app
Run the golf trip,
not the spreadsheet.
Iron Badger Golf is a web app — no download, just open it on your phone. Built for buddies trips and bachelor parties: line up every round of the weekend, let up to 12 golfers join by QR code, keep score straight up or with skins, wolf and nassau, and share one link so everyone back home can follow live. Tabs, lodging, the beer cart and the game money all land on one settle-up sheet.
What is Iron Badger Golf?
It's the web app for golf trips and bachelor party weekends. Set up the trip once — every course, every tee time, up to 12 golfers — then score each round straight up or with side games like skins, wolf, and nassau. Leaders and payouts calculate themselves, one link lets anyone follow live, and every tab someone picked up along the way gets netted against the game money. No napkin math at the 19th hole.
Trip Planning
Multi-day trips with every course, tee time and round in one place — plus per-round teams and foursomes.
Bachelor Party Ready
Up to 12 golfers per round on every package. The crew joins by QR code or a 6-character code and keeps their own scores.
Scores & Games
Keep score hole-by-hole, run skins, wolf, nassau and more — leaders and payouts update automatically.
Live Follow Link
Share one link and the whole crew follows live scores and standings — no account needed to watch.
Expenses & Settle-Up
Track who picked up which tab, fold in game winnings, and get one netted who-owes-who sheet.
Built for the trip, the bachelor party, and the Sunday game.
The Golf Trip
Three days, three courses, twelve guys. Tee times, per-round teams, running standings, and every tab on one sheet.
The Bachelor Party
The groom's weekend, organised. Everyone joins by QR code, keeps their own scores, and the trophies and fines settle themselves.
The Quick Round
One 18-hole game with the usual crew. Setup in under a minute, settled before the 19th.
Many Game Formats - automatically tracked.
Pick a game, set the stake (a quarter or twenty a hole), choose gross or net, and Iron Badger handles carryovers, presses, handicap allowances, and who owes who at the bar.
Game / 01
Skins
Individual · Carryover
Lowest net score on a hole skins it for a unit. Tie the hole and nobody wins — the pot carries and stacks, so a run of halves can turn hole 12 into the biggest money of the day. Handicaps applied automatically at whatever allowance you set.
Game / 02
Wolf
Foursome · Rotating partners
The Wolf rotates each hole, tees off last, then picks a partner for a 2-v-2 net match — or declines everyone and plays Lone Wolf for double. The scoring screen prompts you for the Wolf, the partner, and the hole result, then does the payout math itself.
Game / 03
Vegas
2-v-2 · Points per hole
Each side's two scores become one two-digit number, low score first — a 4 and a 5 is 45. Low number wins the hole by the difference, so 45 against 56 is an 11-point hole. Play it gross or net, switch on the birdie flip, eagle multipliers, or a per-hole cap, and Iron Badger shows both numbers, every flip, and the running total hole by hole.
Game / 04
Bingo Bango Bongo
Individual · 3 points a hole
Three points on every hole and none of them care how well you strike it: Bingo for the first ball on the green, Bango for closest to the pin once everyone is on, Bongo for the first ball in the hole. Kind nudges to play in proper order so nobody rushes a shot to steal a point.
Game / 05
Hammer
Team · Doubling bets
Every hole starts at the base stake. Either side can throw the Hammer to double it, and the other side can accept or Hammer Back to double again — $1 becomes $2, then $4, then $8 before anybody has putted. Iron Badger tracks the running value, who threw the latest Hammer, every Hammer Back, and pays out the winning side hole by hole.
Game / 06
Nassau
Individual · Presses
Three bets in one round: front nine, back nine, and the overall. Each is net match play, halved holes are worth nothing, and a swept Nassau is a three-unit day. Presses spawn their own side match and settle separately — or switch them off in setup.
Game / 07
Match Play
Individual or teams
Straight hole-by-hole duel. Win the hole, go one up; halve it and the status holds. Live dormie and closeout tracking so everyone in the group knows exactly where the match stands walking off the green.
Game / 08
Stableford
Points per hole
Points instead of strokes — a net birdie is worth more than a bogey costs, so a blow-up hole never buries you. Great for mixed-handicap crews and multi-round series where you want everybody still in it on Sunday.
Game / 09
Stroke Play
Gross or net
The classic: lowest total wins. Run it gross for the sticks, net for the field, or both side by side. Doubles as the backbone leaderboard for any trip even when the real money is riding on the side games.
Game / 10
Best Ball
Team · Each plays own ball
Everybody plays their own ball and the team takes the low score on each hole. Two-man or four-man teams, gross or net, with a live team card that shows whose ball counted where.
Game / 11
Scramble
Team · One ball
Pick the best shot, everybody plays from there. Perfect for the mixed-ability foursome or the shotgun-start outing where pace matters more than purity.
Game / 12
Ryder Cup
Team vs team
Two squads, session-by-session points across a trip. Stack matches, roll the standings forward day to day, and crown a winner on the last putt of the weekend.
✦ Custom stakes per game — .25 / .50 / $1 / $2 / $5 for hole games, $5–$25 for Nassau
More golf. Less managing.
AI Scorecard Reader
Played the paper card? Snap a photo and AI reads every stroke, plus your game marks like who was the Wolf, who won the hole, and which holes pushed. Even outcome-only cards settle correctly.
Voice Score Entry
Hold the mic and talk: "Brian had a 5, Tanner shot a par, Phil made eagle, Ryan shot 4." Scores land on the card before you've put the phone back in the cart.
One-Screen Scoring
Whole hole fits on one phone screen with forward and back arrows, defaults to par, a jump-to-hole scorecard, and any game marks the format needs.
Live Leaderboards
Gross, net, and per-game standings update as scores land while every group can follow the whole field from the cart.
Money & Settlements
Side games and shared expenses tally themselves into a single who-owes-who sheet, netted down to the fewest payments.
AI Round Recap
A write-up of the round: the comeback, the dominance, the collapse on 14, the hardest hole, and where the money went. Plus custom awards and trophies.
Invite-Only Clubhouse
Friends and family can follow the action with live scores and game standings, then relive the round with a shareable final report.
Audit Trail
Every score change is logged append-only, and an AI review flags anything suspicious — like a score edited three holes after the fact.
Course Data & Setup
Search real courses with pars, yardages, and slope/rating pulled in, add your crew with handicap indexes, and build foursomes or teams in seconds.
For the crew that takes the trip seriously but not too seriously.
The bachelor party in Scottsdale. The buddies trip to Arbor Links you've been planning for five months. Twelve guys, four courses, one guy fronting the rental van and another buying every round at the turn.

FAQ
How does paying work?+
You buy rounds, not a subscription. Every round your group plays spends one round from your balance, and your balance shows at the top of your dashboard. Checkout is handled securely by Stripe — card details never touch Iron Badger. Games, AI scorecard reads, voice scoring, recaps, trip expenses and the live clubhouse are all included in the round price.
What counts as a Round?+
A Round is one 18-hole game at a single course, on a single day, for up to 12 golfers. A front-9 or back-9 only counts as one Round too. A single Round is $2.99.
How do the round packages work?+
You buy rounds up front and spend them whenever the group plays — 3 rounds for $4.99, 10 rounds for $14.99. Rounds don't expire, and the bigger the package the cheaper each round gets.
Is Iron Badger good for a bachelor party trip?+
That's exactly what it's built for. Set up the whole trip once, drop in every round, let the group join by QR code or a 6-character code, run team games and side bets, and keep one running tab for the rental, the lodging and the beer cart. At the end everyone gets one who-owes-who sheet — golf money and trip money netted together.
What about trips with multiple rounds?+
There's no separate trip price. A trip simply spends one round credit per round it contains, so a three-round weekend uses three credits — the Weekend Pack covers it exactly, or the Golf Trip package covers a full week with rounds to spare. Trips still get running leaderboards, per-round teams, games, the expense ledger and a recap.
Is the Badger Pass worth it?+
The Badger Pass is $39.99 for a full year of unlimited rounds — no monthly cap. If you run more than one trip a year, or play a couple of rounds a month with the crew, it's the cheapest way to run everything through Iron Badger.
How many golfers does a round cover?+
Every round covers up to 12 golfers on every package — three foursomes, which handles most bachelor parties and buddies trips. Guest golfers without an account count toward the cap, but aren't charged individually.
Do spectators cost anything?+
No. Anyone following a live score link is always free — the guys back home, the wives, the groom's dad.
What about refunds?+
Weather, no-shows, life happens. Full refunds before a Round starts, partial refunds for mid-Round cancellations. Reach out from your event page.
