Pay for the players who actually sign up.
Fareway is priced per registration — one charge when a golfer enters a competition, however many weeks the season runs. Play sixteen nights or four, the bill is the same. Founding-partner rates are open for 2026.
Two rates. That's the whole price list.
Leagues run a full multi-week season, so they cost more than a one-off tournament. Everything else — unlimited leagues and seasons, scoring, leaderboards, payments, payouts, and free Global Tournaments — is included in the per-registration price.
League registration
One golfer, one league season — a full managed season: scheduling, standings, flights, playoffs, handicaps, and ongoing communication.
Tournament registration
One golfer, one event — a one-off competition: registration, live leaderboard, and payouts. Half the league rate because it is less platform work.
// A registration is one golfer enrolled in one league season or one tournament — never charged per round.
One rate, whatever your size.
There is no discount ladder to work out and no threshold to chase. Every registration is billed at the same rate whether you run one league or fifty, across one venue or several — so the price you see is the price you pay, and the sum is one you can do in your head.
| Registration type | Founding Partner | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| League registration | $4.00 | $6.00 |
| Tournament registration | $2.00 | $3.00 |
Running a multi-site chain? Talk to us — chain pricing is agreed deal by deal rather than published, because the right answer depends on how many locations and how much volume you are actually bringing.
A worked example, end to end.
Take a 6-bay simulator venue that runs a couple of weeknight leagues plus a few tournaments across the year. Here's the whole platform bill — no add-ons, no per-round charges, no surprise license fee.
// Illustrative — your real mix of leagues and tournaments drives the number. For a like-for-like comparison against Golf Genius's published per-round rates, see the table below.
They bill per round. We bill per registration.
Golf Genius publishes a per-round plan for simulator golf — Flex, at $2.00, $1.50, or $1.00 a round depending on volume — and defines a round as one booking per player, so a two-man scramble team counts as two. That makes a golfer in a 16-week league sixteen rounds, not one: $32 down to $16 for the season, against a single $4 registration on Fareway. A longer season costs them more and costs you nothing extra. Figures below are all-league at founding rates, as of August 2026.
| League registrations (per location) | Fareway (founding) | Golf Genius Flex (published) | Golf Genius Unlimited (observed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 registrations | $400 | $2,400 | ~$3,500–4,500 |
| 250 registrations | $1,000 | $4,000 | ~$3,500–4,500 |
| 500 registrations | $2,000 | $8,000 | ~$3,500–4,500 |
| 800 registrations | $3,200 | $12,800 | ~$3,500–4,500 |
Where this stops being true: Unlimited is a fixed fee, so it does not grow with your programme. Against the ~$3,500 end of what venues have told us they pay, Fareway is cheaper up to roughly 875 league registrations per location and dearer above it. If you already run more than that and you are on Unlimited, bring your renewal to the demo and we will do the real sum rather than sell you the table.
// Golf Genius Flex rates are published on their simulator golf pricing page, read 5 August 2026: $2.00/round to 1,000 rounds, $1.50 to 2,000, $1.00 above. Their page does not say whether a band's rate applies to every round or only the ones past the threshold — this table assumes every round, the reading that costs Golf Genius the least. Rounds assume a 16-week season, one round per golfer per week. Unlimited is not published; ~$3,500–$4,500 is what venues have told us they pay, not a Golf Genius list price. Add $300 one-time onboarding to either plan in year one. Multi-location pricing is not published either — validate a chain comparison against the operator's actual quote.
