What Sets Flighted Apart
Tournament software that finally feels modern
Most golf tournament software looks like it was built in 2005 — because it was. Flighted is different. We brought consumer-grade design, intuitive workflows, and modern technology to tournament management. The result is software your staff loves to use and your members notice immediately.
Beautifully Modern Design
Flighted looks and feels like the consumer apps your members already love — not legacy golf software from 2005. Clean typography, thoughtful layouts, and polished interfaces everywhere, from the admin dashboard to the member-facing leaderboard. Your club's events deserve software that looks as premium as the experience you deliver.
Effortlessly Easy to Use
Built by engineers from Instagram and Yelp who know what intuitive software looks like. No training sessions, no 200-page manuals. Every screen has one clear purpose, every decision has a sensible default. Your newest staff member can set up a tournament on their first day.
Powerful Modern Features
Live TV leaderboards, mobile scoring, push notifications, custom event websites, one-click print materials — the features today's clubs expect, built with today's technology. Everything works together seamlessly, updates in real time, and runs on any device your staff or members already have.
Create Your Event
Name the tournament, set the date and venue, choose your scoring format. Flighted pre-fills sensible defaults for everything. If you've run this event before, your previous settings are saved.
- —Pre-filled defaults for every format
- —Previous tournament settings remembered
- —Draft mode — save and come back later
- —Publish only when you're ready
Good to know
You can step away at any point and come back. Your work is saved automatically.
Add Your Players
Import from a spreadsheet, type them in manually, or pull from your saved member list. Handicap indexes, contact info, guest designations — everything in one place. Flighted matches names to your existing roster automatically.
- —Drag-and-drop spreadsheet import
- —Saved member roster from previous events
- —Guest player management
- —Automatic handicap lookup
Good to know
If a player cancels the morning of, you can swap in an alternate in under a minute from this same screen.
Set Your Format & Flights
Choose your format, set handicap allowances, and create flights. Flighted handles the math — it knows the correct handicap allowance for every format and applies it automatically. Need multiple flights? Set the ranges and Flighted assigns players.
- —All formats built in — no manual rules
- —Correct handicap allowances automatic
- —Flights by handicap range or manual assignment
- —Preview the field breakdown before confirming
Good to know
You can switch formats or restructure flights at any point, even after the tournament has started.
Generate Pairings & Tee Times
Auto-generate pairings or build them yourself with drag-and-drop. Set your tee time interval and start time — Flighted builds the full tee sheet. Cart numbers, starting holes for shotgun starts, walking vs. riding — all handled.
- —Auto-generate or manual drag-and-drop
- —Tee sheet with cart assignments
- —Shotgun start hole assignments
- —Last-minute swaps recalculate instantly
Good to know
Players swapping groups or a rain delay requiring a shotgun start? Change it in seconds, not minutes.
Print, Publish & Play
Print scorecards, cart signs, and starting sheets with one click. Publish the event website. Turn on the TV leaderboard. Your tournament is ready, and everything updates automatically from here.
- —One-click print for all materials
- —Event website published instantly
- —TV leaderboard goes live immediately
- —Members get a link to follow along
Good to know
Need to reprint one scorecard after a last-minute change? Print individual items, not the entire set.
Built Differently
No manual. No training week. No admin certification.
Legacy tournament software was built by people who had never designed consumer products. Flighted was built by engineers from Instagram and Yelp — people whose software was used by millions of people who never read an instruction manual.
We applied that same philosophy to tournament management. Every screen has one clear purpose. Every decision has a sensible default. You can't get lost, and you can't break anything.
