Golf side bets

Side bets that don’t turn the 19th hole into accounting class

Birdie pots. Closest-to-the-pin pride. “I bet you can’t.” Spectator money from the couch. Side bets are the soul of a fun round — until nobody wrote them down. Rounds keeps live scores and peer-to-peer challenges in one place so the chaos stays fun.

Whatever dumb (brilliant) bet your group invents

Rounds is built for peer-to-peer challenges on a live round — head-to-heads, over/unders, birdie-or-better style action, and whatever house rules you invent before the first tee. You’re not stuck inside one rigid game template.

The couch is part of the foursome

Friends who aren’t playing can follow live and get in on challenges. Side bets stop being only for people with a tee time — the gallery can have a stake too.

Write it down by putting it in the app

The bet that only lived in someone’s head is the bet that starts a fight. Challenges ride with the round. When it’s over, settle in-app. Download on the App Store for iOS — free for most core features.

How side bets work in Rounds

  1. Play the round live

    Keep the scorecard going so every challenge has a real outcome to settle against.

  2. Fire the challenge

    Set peer-to-peer side bets with players or friends following from home — your stakes, your terms.

  3. Settle without the chase

    Results follow the card. Settlement happens in-app so Venmo isn’t the final boss of the day.
