HardFore is golf tournament software that everybody will love, and it rests on three things: an app your members like using, a desk your pro shop finds easy to run, and an AI assistant that builds events for you.
Players join a HardFore event on their own phones with the group’s code. No account, no password. Every score reaches the live leaderboard as it is entered.
In HardFore you pick the format, add the field, and it builds the flights, pairings and tee sheet from one screen.
Type a description of the event or drop in its flyer, and the AI assistant in HardFore’s Club Studio builds the event.
Member-guests, club championships, match-play brackets, scrambles, Stableford, shotgun starts, leagues and Ryder Cup-style events all run in HardFore.
HardFore puts the live leaderboard on any clubhouse TV, where it cycles through the event’s boards and updates as scores come in.
HardFore calculates skins, Nassau, Wolf, Banker and 11 other money games hole by hole, so results are ready when the last group finishes.
HardFore’s Print Center uses your event’s players and pairings to prepare the paper your pro shop needs.
HardFore’s practice club is a sample golf club with sample events that you can open and run yourself, without an account.
Nothing you do here reaches real golfers. No email, no account, no card.
By opening it you agree to the Terms.
Follow the real Quick Event wizard from New event to a created Saturday game. Set the basics, choose your players and create the event; build the pairings next. Click the green ring, a step or the arrow to move on, or press Play.

HardFore’s AI assistant lives in Club Studio. Tell it about the event the way you’d text your assistant pro, or drop in the flyer, and it builds the event for you to check. Click through a real session below.
Describe any event and I'll build it, set up flights, tee times, and money, or answer anything about running HardFore Country Club.
A couple of things to flag before I build this:
Hole 7 is a par 3 — great for CTP. Hole 14 is a par 4, so it can't host CTP (closest-to-pin requires a par 3). The par 3s on the course are holes 3, 7, 11, and 16. Hole 18 is a par 5 — perfect for long drive.
Which par 3 would you like to swap in for the second CTP instead of 14 — hole 11 or 16? (Or I can put both 11 and 16 if you want to run three CTP holes total.)
…
Everything is live. Here's what was built:
Fall Member-Guest Invitational — Saturday October 10, 9:00 AM shotgun
- Net best ball, 90% handicap allowance, 4 flights (A/B/C/D) by combined index - Round-robin matches inside each flight (3 matches per team, 9 holes each) - Shootout: top 2 teams per flight advance - Entry fee: $75 per player ($150/team), split evenly member and guest - Closest to the pin: holes 7 and 16 (both par 3s — 16 is the nearest par 3 to hole 14) - Long drive: hole 18 (par 5) - Status: open for registration right now
…
…
Next step is importing your field. If you have a pairings sheet or team list, send it over and I'll seat everyone, assign flights, and generate the round-robin schedule in one shot.
Or drop in the flyer. A photo, PDF, Word or Excel file works.

Click Assistant in the Club Studio menu. Type in the box, or use the plus button: “Attach a file: Word, Excel, CSV, PDF or a photo.”
Replies are word for word from a real session on September 28, 2026, trimmed to fit.
HardFore’s tournament management and live scoring comes in two parts: Club Studio, where your pro shop builds and runs events, and the free HardFore app, where your members score.

HardFore was started by a touring professional who spent five years playing the PGA Tour Americas, the Asian Tour and the Asian Development Tour. After countless tournaments and qualifiers run on the same live scoring platforms, the same frustrations kept showing up, so we built something better: golf tournament software that is simple to set up, intuitive for players and staff, and built around how golf tournaments actually operate.
HardFore is built in Florida by a team of golfers that includes players at the collegiate level and the professional level. We have one goal: software that hosts and players both love.
