Creating a League

Create Your First Golf League with the Easy League Wizard | RoundBoss Watch on YouTube (opens in a new tab)

Setting up a new league takes just a few minutes. Here is what you need to get started.

Sign Up

Navigate to the RoundBoss manager login page and create an account with your email and a password. Once signed in, you will land on the manager dashboard where you can create your first league.

League Setup

1
Start the wizard

Click New League from the manager dashboard. In the dialog that opens, click Create league (templates you've saved appear below it as a second option).

2
Mode and where you play

Pick League (Tournament and Golf Outing are the other modes), then choose Real Course or Simulator. Simulator is locked until your account has a facility with an active Golf Course plan.

3
Basics

League Name (shown to all players, e.g., "Wednesday Night League") and Holes Per Round (9 or 18). For 9 holes, choose Front 9 or Back 9.

4
Format

Match Play, Team Match Play, Stroke Play, Stableford, Scramble, Best Ball, Alternate Shot, Rotating Partners, or Team Nassau.

5
Details

Team size and sweep bonus for team formats, the course (a course-scorecard search plus Zip or Postal Code and an optional Time Zone for real-course leagues, or a GSPro catalog course for simulator leagues), and an optional Closest to the Pin side game.

6
Players

Add each player's name and email (one row per player, or paste a list copied from a spreadsheet). Email is required so every golfer gets their personal RoundBoss link. Optionally generate matchups for the whole season or random teams. You can skip this and add players later. Rotating Partners also needs each player's starting average or handicap here — the weekly partner draw has nothing to compute strokes from without one.

7
Schedule

Start Date and Season Weeks (1-52; you can add more later), plus an optional default tee time and stagger interval (real course) or session start time (simulator).

8
Review and Create

Check the summary, then click Create League. You land on the league page right away; during the free trial the league activates automatically.

See League Setup Wizard for every option on each screen.

After Creation

Once your league is created, you will be taken to the league management page where you can:

  • Add players individually or via CSV import
  • Configure scoring settings (handicap weeks, stroke multiplier)
  • Generate matchups for the first week
  • Customize your league banner

Multiple Leagues

You can run more than one league from the same account. Just create another league from your dashboard — each one has its own roster, schedule, and leaderboard.
