Launching soon
Find golfers actually worth playing with.
GameLynx matches you with players near you by handicap, pace and how you like to play — then helps you turn that match into a tee time.
- Matched on handicap, pace and cart preference
- See who's playing nearby, without sharing your exact location
- Free to join
- Coming soon to App Store
- Coming soon to Google Play
How it works
From "I need a fourth" to a booked round.
Most golf apps stop at a feed of names. GameLynx is built around the thing that actually matters: getting a real round on the calendar with someone whose game fits yours.
- 01
Set how you play
Handicap, pace, walking or riding, 9 or 18, how far you will travel. Two minutes, once.
- 02
See who fits
Golfers near you, ranked by how well they actually match your game — not just who signed up most recently.
- 03
Lock in the tee time
Message them, send a round invitation with course, date and time, and get a yes or no. No group-chat guessing.
What you get
Everything you need to actually get out and play.
Built by golfers who were tired of posting "anyone free Saturday?" into a group chat and hearing nothing back.
-
Matched on how you actually play
Handicap, average score, pace, walking or riding, simulator or grass. Every match carries a score so you can see why it was suggested.
-
Nearby, not nosy
A live map of members around you. Locations are deliberately approximate — nobody sees your address, and you never see theirs.
-
Invitations, not endless chat
Send a round invitation with the course, date and tee time attached. One tap to accept — everyone knows where they stand.
-
Indoor counts too
Flip to simulator mode in winter or after work and match with players who want the same thing.
-
Golf away from home
Save a trip and GameLynx surfaces players at your destination, so you land with a round already lined up.
-
Watch your game improve
Log rounds and see your handicap trend over time, right next to the courses you have played.
Travelling for work or a buddies trip?
Save your destination and dates. GameLynx shows you who is playing there, so the round is booked before your flight lands.
Your handicap, tracked as you go.
Log a round and watch the trend line move. Your recent scores and courses live on your profile, so a match knows your game is real.
Safety
Meeting a stranger for 18 holes should still feel safe.
You are arranging to meet someone you have not met, often somewhere you have not been. We designed for that from day one rather than bolting it on later.
-
Your location stays approximate
Other members never receive your exact coordinates — the map deliberately offsets every position. Only you see where you actually are.
-
Verified sign-ups
Accounts are confirmed by SMS, which keeps throwaway profiles out of the pool.
-
Report anything, from anywhere
Any message or conversation can be flagged in two taps. Reports go to a real moderation queue that a human reviews.
-
You control your data
Delete your account from Settings at any time and your profile, location history and trips go with it.
FAQ
Questions golfers ask us.
How much does GameLynx cost?
GameLynx is free to download and free to use — finding matches, messaging and sending round invitations are all included. There is one optional in-app purchase of $2.99 that removes ads permanently.
Do I need an official handicap to join?
No. You can enter an average score instead, or skip it entirely and add rounds later. GameLynx uses whatever you provide to find players at a similar level, and your handicap index updates automatically as you log rounds.
Can other golfers see exactly where I am?
No. Locations shown to other members are deliberately randomised, so the map gives a sense of who is in your area without revealing anyone’s address. Only you ever see your own precise location.
How does the matching actually work?
Each potential partner is scored on how closely their game matches yours — handicap index, average score, preferred pace, walking versus riding, simulator and music preferences — combined with how far away they are and whether they are available when you want to play. Results are ranked best-first with a match percentage so you can see why someone was suggested.
Does it work for golf simulators and indoor play?
Yes. Switch the app to indoor mode and you will be matched with players looking for simulator sessions rather than a round on grass, which is useful in winter or for shorter after-work sessions.
Can I use GameLynx when I travel?
Yes. Save a trip with your destination and dates, and GameLynx shows you members near that destination so you can arrange a game before you arrive.
Which devices does GameLynx support?
GameLynx is being built for both iPhone and Android. Join the early access list and we will email you the moment it is available on your platform.
How do I delete my account and data?
