Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about RoundBoss below.
Pricing
How much does RoundBoss cost?
It depends on who you are:
- Solo Player — free.
- Clubhouse (independent league managers) — $10 per player seat, active for one year from payment, up to 52 weeks of play. A seat added later costs the full $10 and ends on the same renewal date as the rest of the league (no proration); renew yearly. No monthly fees.
- Golf Course Starter — $799 per Season Pass (183 days, about 6 months, from the day you pay) or $1,188 per year. One location, up to 10 leagues, up to 4 simulator bays, unlimited players.
- Golf Course Pro — $1,599 per Season Pass or $2,388 per year. Unlimited leagues, up to 8 simulator bays at one location (more bays or multiple locations? Contact us), broadcast messaging to every golfer, your logo on player pages, priority support.
Additional locations are 20% off (contact [email protected]). There is no monthly plan. Golf Course plans have no per-seat fees for the leagues at the facility. See Billing and Season Pass & Annual Plans.
How long does my league stay active?
Each seat is active for one full year from your payment date. Coverage is a full year from payment — it does not depend on how many weeks you schedule. Renew each year for $10 per seat to start a fresh 365 days.
What happens if I add more weeks?
Adding weeks does not affect billing at all. You can configure up to 52 weeks of play per paid year. Only buying seats costs money — scheduling weeks is free.
What if I add a player mid-season?
Add a seat anytime for $10. The new seat is covered through your existing renewal date — there is no proration. For example, seats bought on January 1 renew the following January 1, and a seat added in September is covered to that same January 1 date.
Is there a minimum number of players?
No. You can run a league with as few as 2 players. There is no maximum either — RoundBoss scales to leagues of any size.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. New manager accounts start with a 14-day free trial (up to 4 players, 1 league) with full access to league features — simulator features require a Golf Course plan. Your first league is activated automatically during the trial; there is no payment step in the wizard.
Can my Clubhouse league use GSPro?
No. Simulator features — the Bridge, GSPro live scoring, kiosk check-in, and the TV leaderboard — are included with the Golf Course Starter and Pro facility plans. Clubhouse leagues are outdoor / manual-scoring leagues. In the wizard, the Simulator option is locked until your account owns a facility with an active plan; set up your facility under Golf Course Mode to unlock it.
League Setup
How many leagues can one manager run?
There is no limit. A single manager account can create and manage multiple leagues, each with its own players, schedule, and leaderboard.
Can I have a co-manager?
Yes. Each league supports one co-manager with configurable permissions. See Co-Manager for details.
Can I change the number of weeks mid-season?
Yes. You can add more weeks at any time, up to 52 weeks per paid year. Adding weeks does not affect billing — your coverage runs one year from your payment date regardless of how many weeks you schedule.
Scoring
What formats does RoundBoss support?
RoundBoss has nine league formats: Match Play, Team Match Play, Stroke Play, Stableford, Scramble, Best Ball, Alternate Shot, Rotating Partners, and Team Nassau. Match Play can be scored by points, by performance against each golfer's average, or a hybrid of both. Those scoring choices are settings on Match Play, not separate formats.
Two other modes sit beside leagues: Golf Outing for single-day events (Scramble, Stroke, or Stableford scoring) and Tournament mode for multi-round events with cuts and brackets.
Skins: available on every league format except Rotating Partners and Team Nassau. Best Ball skins pay on gross scores only. Low Net: a weekly low-net pot you can switch on in Settings under Skins & Low Net; Best Ball can also run a second pot for the best individual net. See Scoring Rules for each format, Rotating Partners, Team Nassau and the older Nassau view.
What is Team Match Play?
Teams of 2–4 players face off each week. Every player plays individual head-to-head match play against an opponent from the other team. The team score is the sum of all individual match points, plus an optional sweep bonus when your team wins every match. See Team Match Play for full details.
What is Golf Outing mode?
Golf Outing mode is for single-day events like corporate outings, charity tournaments, and casual group rounds. Choose Scramble, Stroke, or Stableford scoring, and optionally enable side games — Closest to Pin, Longest Drive, and Skins. For scramble outings you can auto-generate random teams. See Golf Outing for full details.
Are the scoring values fixed?
No. All point values — hole win, push, bonus, per-match cap, and makeup cap — are configurable by the league manager from the Settings tab. See Scoring Configuration.
How are handicaps calculated?
Each league picks one of three handicap methods in Settings: Rolling Average (the default), Established (a handicap you enter yourself that does not change), or WHS Index (calculated from course rating and slope). For the rolling-average method, the window is state-based — it averages the player's last N played results (a score or a miss), default 5, rather than calendar weeks, so pre-generated future weeks never affect the average. The window size and the stroke multiplier are configurable. See Handicap and Strokes.
What happens when a player misses a week?
The present player earns points by playing the card: their score against their own average, looked up in the league's card table (in team match play, per 1v1 pairing). The absent player receives the league's flat miss points (default 0) and enters the makeup queue to earn partial points through a makeup round the next time they play. Both are capped by max misses per season (default 4): the first 4 misses earn miss points and a makeup round; the 5th and later misses earn 0 points and no makeup. Leagues can instead turn on Use average for misses, which scores the present player against the absent player's rolling average (the absent player gets 0). See Play the Card and Makeup Rounds.
Can players enter their own scores?
Yes, when the manager allows it. The league setting Allow players to edit submitted scores is on by default for outdoor leagues, which lets players enter and edit their own scores. Simulator leagues are scored from the bay, so check this setting for yours. GSPro-finalized rounds and locked weeks are always manager-only. Managers and authorized co-managers can enter scores at any time.
Player Access
Do players need to create an account?
No. RoundBoss emails each player one personal link — managers never see or hand it out themselves. Tapping the link opens their personal dashboard with no login required, and it opens every league, challenge, and stat page the player is part of.
Do players need an email address?
Yes. That's how RoundBoss delivers the player's link. The Players tab lists anyone still missing an email.
What if a player loses their link, or it stops working?
The player can tap Reset my link on their own page, or the manager can tap Send a new link for them from the Players tab — either way the old link stops working and the new one is emailed automatically. To resend the player's current link unchanged, the manager taps Send link instead.
Does the app work on all phones?
RoundBoss works in any modern mobile browser — Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. There is no app to download.
Data and Privacy
Who can see player scores?
All players in a league can see the leaderboard and schedule. Individual scorecards are visible to both players in a match and to the manager.
Can I delete my league or account?
Yes. Managers can delete individual leagues or their entire account from the dashboard. Deleting a league removes all associated data. This action cannot be undone.
