Schedue a 15-minute demo

Add Fun and Excitement to Your Outing While Raising More Money

With live scoring, introduce a new level of fun and excitement to your golf outing fundraisers. At any point, golfers can check the live leaderboard to see what it'll take to win or when it's safe to hit the beer cart a little harder.

Meanwhile, your organization can simplify registration and raise more money by upselling sponsors on scorecard logo placement and full-screen hole transition ads.

How It Works

1. Create Your Event

PlayThru was designed to be as simple as possible. Set up and manage your events in three, quick steps:

  1. Configure your event details.
  2. Set up your tees.
  3. Add or import your golfers.

Once done, share one short link or QR code with everyone. Golfers open the link on any mobile browser, select their name and start entering scores.

2. Registration

Publich a registration page in minutes without needing a developer.

  1. Add an event description.
  2. Create your registration options, including golfers, sponsors, dinner only and volunteers.
  3. Collect payments via credit cards or offline options.

From there, manage every registration in one list, track who's paid, and add golfers directly to the scorecard with one click.

No duplicate entry. No copy and paste.

3. Sell Sponsorships

PlayThru gives you two ways to generate additional sponsorship revenue:

  1. Hole Sponsor Logos: Feature sponsor logos at the bottom of each hole screen and the live leaderboard.
  2. Hole Transition Ads: Feature full-screen sponsor ads for three seconds as golfers navigate from one hole to the next.

Charity & Fundraiser FAQ

How much sponsor revenue can a charity outing realistically generate with PlayThru?

It depends on your sponsor relationships and the size of your event, but PlayThru gives you 19 hole sponsor logo slots and 18 hole transition ad slots per event — 37 distinct sponsorable assets, each visible to every golfer during the round. Charity organizers tell us they sell hole sponsorships in the $100 to $1,000 range. A well-sold event can add five figures to the bottom line.

Can we use our charity's branding instead of PlayThru's?

Yes. The Custom Scorecard add-on ($35 per event, or included in the $99/month subscription) enables you to replace PlayThru branding with your organization's logo, brand colors, and background images on every hole. Sponsors see your nonprofit's identity, not ours.

Can PlayThru capture registrations and payments?

Yes. PlayThru's registration feature can be turned on for your event and you can set up a professional looking registration page in minutes.

Connect your bank account securely via Stripe to also accept credit card payments.

Does PlayThru donate any of its revenue back to charity?

Yes. PlayThru has donated 10% or more of annual revenue to organizations using golf for fundraising every year since 2023. This is a deliberate part of how we run the company, not a one-time program.

Will PlayThru sponsor our event?

PlayThru does support and sponsor several golf outings throughout the year, which is mainly done with organizations and causes that we hold near and dear to our hearts. But, we are always open to supporting different causes if we can. Doesn't hurt to ask.

What if I have questions the day of the event?

PlayThru's support line is ready to help if something comes up. You can email support@golfplaythru.com directory or visit golfplaythru.com/support for answers to common questions.
