SideAction Saloon
Sports
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Vegas, Sixes, Nassau and Bloodsome just walked into the saloon. Match Play team battles, a smarter scorecard camera, and group format live. Four games now free roll.
Step inside.
SideAction Saloon is the only app built exclusively for golf side games. Not a GPS. Not a rangefinder. Not a handicap tracker. We set out to cover every popular game your group actually plays for money — and the group formats you run when everyone's in.
Every side game. All the math. None of the arguments.
SKINS
Low score wins the skin. Ties carry over. Classic, clean, and always worth watching on 18 when the pot is stacked.
WOLF
Each hole, one player is the Wolf. Watch the tee shots, pick your partner — or go alone and double the money. Best ball decides who walks away.
WOLF SCOTCH
Eight points up for grabs every hole: low ball, low total, birdie, proximity. Win them all and trigger a BLITZ — points double. For the group that wants serious action.
BANKER
The hole winner becomes the Banker. Bet against them one-on-one, then press to double down before they tee off. One bad Banker hole can swing the round.
BINGO BANGO BONGO
Three ways to win every hole: first on the green, closest to the pin, first in the hole. Long hitters get no edge. Anyone can win anything.
DOTS
Every good shot counts. Fairway? Dot. Green in regulation? Dot. One-putt? Dot. Birdie? Two dots. The fairest game for mixed-skill groups.
NINES
Built for threesomes. Five points for first, three for second, one for third. Nine points a hole, cleanest math in golf.
HAMMER
Golf meets Texas Hold'em. Any team can hammer to double the pot — after any shot, at any time. Fold to cut your losses. Match to stay alive.
LANDMINES
Acey Deucey with a twist. Low score wins big, high score pays. Hit water, sand, a tree, or three-putt and the Rattler strikes. Every mistake counted.
…AND MORE
Sandies — get up-and-down from the bunker, claim the sandie. Greenies — hit the green on the par 3s. Closest to the Pin — stick it tight, take the cash. Chaos Card — draw a card each hole: stake modifiers, skill challenges, and rule twists that turn a quiet round loud.
GROUP & TOURNAMENT FORMATS
Running an outing? Play a full-group game alongside the side action: Net Stroke Play, Stableford, and Match Play — handicap-adjusted and tracked live on one leaderboard.
RUN MULTIPLE GAMES AT ONCE
Play Skins and Hammer at the same time. Run DOTS alongside Wolf. SideAction Saloon tracks them all simultaneously. One score entry covers everything.
LIVE ROUNDS
Create a round, share the code. Your group joins from their phones. Scores update in real time across every device. Everyone sees the standings. Nobody disputes the math.
HANDICAPS BUILT IN
Toggle net scoring on any game. Enter your index once. The app does the rest.
SETTLEMENT AT THE END
When the round ends, SideAction Saloon shows exactly who owes whom. No calculator. No debate. Just pay up and grab a drink.
SideAction Saloon. The Side Game App.

NEW GAMES AT THE TABLE
• Match Play — head-to-head, hole by hole, with a Team Play twist: Singles, Fourball, Foursomes, or Bloodsome (alternate shot where your opponents pick which of your drives you play). Down in the match? Press.
• Vegas — partners' scores pair into one number, low team takes the difference in points. Make a birdie and your opponents' number flips. Points add up fast.
GROUP GAMES — ALL FORMATS LIVE
• Scramble/Shamble, Chapman/Pinehurst, and Two-Man Best Ball join Net Stroke Play, Match Play, and Stableford — with proper team handicap allowances built in.
A SHARPER SCORECARD CAMERA
• Snap the front 9 and back 9 as separate photos — each half fits your screen, and the app stitches the round together.
• Reads sideways photos and messy handwriting — even putts scribbled in the same box.
• Smarter about what's a player and what's just the par row.
ALSO IN THIS ROUND
• Course search now finds far more courses, with real hole-by-hole data.
