Golf: live scorecard and leaderboard

Golf on Xsporty works like any other game — an organizer creates it, players join — with a live scorecard and leaderboard built for the course.

Set up the round

When you create a golf game, choose the Round type: 18 holes, Front 9 (holes 1–9) or Back 9 (holes 10–18). On 18 holes you can also pick the Starting hole, 1 or 10. The card shows the Course par — standard pars, which the organizer can change hole by hole from the course settings. Recurring rounds, duplicates and templates keep the setup. See Create a game.

Keep your card

1. Open the game and tap Live scorecard. Scoring opens at tee time, or as soon as the organizer taps Start round.
2. On My card, each hole shows its number and par. Tap your strokes — the grid runs from three under par to five over, with Others for anything else. Add putts if you want.
3. The app names the score: Hole in one, Albatross, Eagle, Birdie, Par, Bogey, Double bogey, Triple bogey. Under-par scores are circled and over-par scores boxed, like a paper card.
4. Tap Finish hole to move to the next one. Your running totals — holes played, birdies, pars, bogeys and score to par — stay at the top, and View full scorecard shows the whole grid with Out and In.

You can edit your own card until the organizer taps Finish round. Organizers can score for anyone in the group using the Scoring for chips, and can reopen a finished round.

The leaderboard

The Leaderboard tab ranks everyone in the group by score to par, with how many holes they're through. Every tap saves instantly, so two players can keep cards at the same time without overwriting each other.

After the round

The post-game screen replaces the team score with Your round: your score to par, gross strokes and a required Total strokes — prefilled if you kept the live card — plus an optional Hole by hole breakdown. You rate the group as after any game. See Rate players and vote for the MVP.

Log a round you already played

Played without the app? Tap + → Log an activity, choose golf, pick the round type and enter total strokes for you and each friend you tag — hole by hole if you like. Lowest score wins. See Log an activity.

Golf rounds count toward your games played and streak. They don't produce wins or losses, and there's no handicap tracking yet.
