Event Type

Built for more than charity tournaments

Choose the type of golf event you’re organizing and configure it around your needs.

Charity Tournament

Fundraisers, nonprofit events, community tournaments, sponsor-driven outings, and benefit events.

Club Tournament

Golf-club events, leagues, invitationals, championships, and other organized club competitions.

Member Tournament

Member-only or member-guest events organized for a private or semi-private golf club.

Corporate Tournament

Company outings, client events, employee golf days, networking tournaments, and business events.

Private Tournament

Invitation-only events organized for a private group that still needs full tournament-management tools.

Other Golf Event

Use Tune-Up Golf for another organized golf event that doesn’t fit one of the standard categories.

Event Format

Shotgun or tee-time format

Build your preferred golf groups first. The golf course or pro shop can make the final tee-time or starting-hole assignments.

Shotgun Start

Build the golfer groups and use A/B or other group labels when necessary. The pro shop can use your grouping information to assign the final starting holes.

Tee-Time Format

Organize the groups in your preferred playing order — Group 1, Group 2, Group 3, and so on. The pro shop can then assign the actual tee times.

Tournament Workflow

From registration to the golf course

1

Create the Event

Add the course, date, event type, format, pricing, registration information, contests, food and beverage details, and sponsor options.

2

Register Golfers

Use a public link, QR code, private invitation, or another approved registration method.

3

Build Preferred Groups

Arrange the eligible golfers into the groups they want to play with before sending the final grouping information to the golf course.

You organize the golfers. The pro shop makes the final course assignment.

Tune-Up Golf lets the tournament organizer build the preferred player groups so the golf course knows who wants to play together.

The organizer can also provide a preferred group order or A/B grouping, but the golf course or pro shop retains final authority over actual tee times, starting holes, and other course assignments.

Preferred Golf Groups Put the golfers together based on who should play with whom.
Tee-Time Events Sequence groups in preferred order, such as Group 1 through Group 18.
Shotgun Events Use A/B or other group labels when appropriate. The pro shop assigns the final starting holes.
Tournament Management

Keep the moving pieces organized

Large golf events have a lot more going on than just who is playing.

Registration Tracking

See who has registered, who has paid, and who still needs attention.

Paid-Player Eligibility

Configure the tournament so only paid golfers become eligible for final preferred group assignment.

Preferred Player Groups

Arrange golfers based on who wants to play together, group requests, and organizer preferences.

A / B Grouping

Use A/B golfer or group classifications when needed for shotgun assignments or event organization.

Food & Beverage

Tell golfers what’s included, such as breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks, or other event amenities.

Contests & Prizes

List closest-to-the-pin, longest drive, putting contests, hole-in-one opportunities, prizes, and other event activities.

Player Communications

Send confirmations, reminders, tournament updates, and final group information.

Updates & Photos

Keep event announcements, results, winner photos, participant photos, and tournament memories connected to the event.

Golf-Course Export

Give the pro shop a clean list of the preferred groups so they don’t have to recreate the tournament manually.

Sponsorships

Manage tournament sponsors too

Create sponsorship packages with different prices, benefits, recognition levels, and complimentary golf spots.

After the tournament is created, Tune-Up Golf can provide a tournament-specific sponsorship link that the organizer can send directly to prospective sponsors.

Sponsors can select from the options offered by that event and follow the tournament organizer’s payment instructions.

Sponsor information may include:
  • Title or presenting sponsor
  • Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze
  • Hole sponsors
  • Contest sponsors
  • Food / beverage sponsors
  • Sponsorship amount
  • Included benefits
  • Comped golf spots
  • Logo and content approval
Tournament Community

Give the tournament its own Updates & Photos area.

Once the tournament is created, its logged-in event area can automatically include a private feed tied specifically to that tournament.

Tournament Updates

Post announcements, event-day information, schedule updates, reminders, and other tournament news.

Results & Winners

Post final results, contest winners, flight winners, prizes, skins results, and other event outcomes.

Photos & Memories

Participants can contribute tournament photos when permitted by the organizer, creating one place for event memories.

Sponsor Recognition

Recognize sponsors in tournament updates, photos, winner announcements, and other event-related posts.

Organizer Moderation

The tournament organizer can moderate posts, remove inappropriate content, and download photos associated with the event.

Private or Public

Keep posts visible only to authorized tournament participants or make selected posts eligible to appear on the main Tune-Up Golf Blog.

Tournament access: The Updates & Photos feed belongs to the tournament itself. Authorized participants can continue to view the event feed according to the tournament’s access settings. The organizer controls posting permissions, moderation, and public visibility.

Public, private, or QR-code registration

Your tournament can be invitation-only or made available for public registration when appropriate.

Public events can use a registration link or QR code on flyers, signs, emails, social posts, and event materials.

Organizers remain in control of player limits, registration status, payment requirements, and event availability.

Pro Shop Ready

Give the golf course the groups you’ve already organized

Save the pro shop from rebuilding the player groups manually.

Tournament grouping export

Choose PDF, Excel/CSV, or another available export format and send the preferred player groups directly to the golf course.

For a tee-time event, groups can be listed in the organizer’s preferred order. For a shotgun event, groups can use A/B or other labels when appropriate.

  • Organizer / tournament name
  • Event type
  • Game date
  • Preferred group number or label
  • Player names organized by golf group
  • Member or guest status when applicable
  • If a golfer is a guest, whose guest they are
Final course assignments: The tournament organizer is providing preferred player groupings and, when applicable, a preferred group order or A/B designation. Final tee times, starting holes, and other course assignments remain subject to golf-course or pro-shop approval.
