Quick answers

Golf software & leagues, in brief.

Self-contained answers to the questions operators and organizers ask most.

What is Fareway?
Fareway is golf league and tournament software for courses, simulator venues, and league organizers — registration, scoring, leaderboards, payments, and payouts.
What is the best software for running a golf league?
For simulator venues and mid-size operators, Fareway is a strong fit — per-registration pricing plus a native golfer app for registration, scoring, and standings. Solo organizers and DIY commissioners can run a private league on Fareway too. See our guide on how to choose golf league software.
How much does golf league software cost?
It varies by billing unit, which matters more than the headline rate. Golf Genius's published simulator plan bills per round at $2.00 down to $1.00 by volume, counting one round per player per booking — so a 16-week league season is 16 charges per golfer, or $32 down to $16. Golf League Guru charges roughly $8.95 per player per year. Fareway charges once per registration — $4 per league and $2 per tournament at founding rates. Vendors also sell unpublished fixed-fee plans that can work out cheaper at high volume, so ask for a quote at your actual size. Rates as of August 2026.
