Ballzy: Social Golf & Scores
GPS, Tee Times & Buddies
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
One app for the whole game. Golfers find rounds and book tee times. Course teams fill open slots, manage bookings, and keep tee times full. Play more. Book more.
Ballzy is golf with your crew—live. Whether you play twice a week or twice a year, Ballzy keeps the round simple, social, and fun.
LIVE SCORING WITH FRIENDS
Start a round, share a join code, and everyone's scores update in real time on one shared scorecard. Watch the live leaderboard move as your group plays.
EVERY ROUND. EVERY MEMORY.
Snap a photo on any hole and Ballzy saves it to your Round Book alongside your score and notes. The magic: next time you play that course, when you walk back up to the same hole, Ballzy resurfaces the photo you took there before — that eagle, that island green, that round with your dad or high school buddies. Your golf story, hole by hole, year after year.
MANAGE TOURNAMENTS
Run charity scrambles, school fundraisers, or company outings end to end: collect entry fees, sponsorships, and donations in-app, sell mulligans, set up Hole-in-One, Closest-to-the-Pin, and Longest Drive contests with sponsors, and track every dollar raised on a live leaderboard.
PUT SOMETHING ON IT
Built-in side games done right: Skins with automatic carryovers, Nassau, match play, Stableford, and more—tracked for you so you can argue about your swing instead of the math.
BOOK TEE TIMES
Find and book tee times across courses right in the app, pay securely, and show up ready to play.
EVERY COURSE, IN YOUR POCKET
Search courses anywhere, get directions in one tap, and check live conditions before you go—current weather and wind on the tee, how busy it is right now, frost delays, and cart-path-only days posted by other golfers.
KNOW YOUR YARDAGE
A dead-simple GPS rangefinder shows the distance to the green (or anywhere you tap) and updates as you walk. Big, clear numbers—no fuss.
YOUR ROUND BOOK
Every round, score, and photo saved as a memory you'll actually want to look back on.
AT THE TURN
At partner courses, order food and drinks to any hole and pay from your phone.
BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Powerful enough for the obsessed, friendly enough for players who just want the core: a clean scorecard, a yardage, and a way to play with friends.
Download Ballzy and make your next round better.

Ballzy 2.1.16 — looks like golf, plays smarter
• Real golf courses throughout the app — sunrise fairways, links and mountain greens behind every tab, on Home and on course pages that don't have their own photo yet
• Smarter club picks — once you've logged a few shots with a club, the rangefinder and caddie use your real distances automatically. Numbers you type yourself stay put.
• Faster start — Ballzy opens straight to Home after the splash, and the splash lingers a beat longer so you can read the quote
• Better friend invites — invites now arrive as a Ballzy card with our icon and name
• Fixed: live scores mid-round now show correctly (e.g. "+3 thru 9") on the leaderboard, friends map and watch
• Fixed: the splash screen in landscape and a small layout glitch in the top bar
2.1.16+48 23h ago
Keep score without leaving the rangefinder
• When you walk to the next tee, tap "Score hole" on the hole banner to log your score in one tap. No round set up? We start your scorecard for you.
• Snap a photo or video of any hole right from the map. It comes back as a memory next time you play it.
• Rather just use yardages? Turn the score button off in Distance & clubs.
Tee times you can count on
• Your spot is held while you pay, and you're only charged once it's secured.
• Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before your tee time.
• The price shows the green fee and Ballzy's 5% service fee up front.
• New "My tee times": every booking, confirmation code, Add to Calendar and cancel, all in one place.
Tee-time alerts
• Watch several courses and days at once. When a time opens up, we hold it for you first, so you don't have to race anyone. Book it or pass.
Also

2.1.14+46 Oct 12
What's new in Ballzy
• Your rangefinder now knows where you are. Open it on the course and Ballzy finds the course and the hole you're on, aims at the green, and moves to the next hole as you walk. No tapping needed.
• True front and back of the green, taken from the green's real shape.
• Bunker and water yardages: see how far it is to reach and to carry each hazard ahead of you, and which side it's on. Tap one to see the club that carries it.
• Drawn hole map: a clean map of fairways, greens, bunkers and water that works with no signal and is easy to read in bright sun. It switches on by itself if satellite photos won't load.
• Map a missing hole: if a hole isn't on the map yet, tap the green and the tee once and it's saved for every Ballzy golfer at that course.
• Tee-time waitlist: is the time you want full? Join the waitlist and we'll let you know the moment a spot opens.
• Updates from your course: courses can now send a quick note to golfers booked that day about frost delays, cart-path-only days and closures.
• Your season recap: rounds, birdies, best round, home course and your "dream round" (your best score on every hole) on one card to share with your crew. Find it in your Round Book.
• More reliable course search, plus bug fixes and polish.
2.1.13+45 Oct 5
• Score with your voice. Say "Hey Siri, log a par in Ballzy" and your score is saved without unlocking your phone. On the scorecard, tap "Say my score" and speak naturally, like "bogey on 7."
• Your whole group can keep score without the app. Text a score link to anyone in your group and they can enter their scores from their phone's browser. No download needed.
• Better Apple Watch app. It tracks your round as a workout, shows the live leaderboard and side-game standings, suggests a club, taps your wrist when you reach a new hole, and shows your handicap.
• A new end-of-round card. After each round you get one short takeaway to work on next time.
• No ads during your round. Nothing gets in the way while you're playing.
• Easier to find friends from your contacts, and better text invites.

never unlock your phone between shots. Like a rangefinder left on the cart.
