For churches & ministries
Golf tournament software for churches and ministries
A church golf outing is as much a fellowship event as a fundraiser. It should feel like your ministry — not like a generic donation portal with a software company's branding on the receipt.
One flat cost from $250 — nothing added to your registrants' or sponsors' checkout.
What usually makes this hard
It should look like your ministry
Your event page carries your logo, colors, hero photo, and the story of what the money supports — with your tax EIN and refund policy shown upfront so givers see them before they ask.
Nobody should be upsold while giving
Many platforms are free to you because they add a fee or an optional 'tip' at checkout. We charge you one flat cost instead, so what your congregation gives is what your ministry receives.
Volunteers make the day work
Post the day's shifts — check-in, beverage cart, hole spotters, scoring — and volunteers claim slots from a public page without creating an account. Confirmation and morning-of reminder emails go out automatically.

We can also help fill the field.
Tournament software helps you run an event; it does nothing to help golfers find it. Golf Sync also runs a public catalog of upcoming tournaments that players browse by state, city, and ZIP code — and listing your event is free, whether or not you host with us.

Can we show what the tournament is raising money for?
Yes. Your event page has a benefit story section alongside your logo, colors, and hero photo, so players and sponsors see the ministry or cause the outing supports before they register.
Can people give without playing?
Yes. Your event page can take donations from supporters who aren't registering for a tee time, so members who want to give but don't golf still have a way in.
How much does it cost?
One flat cost, starting at $250–$300 for setup — your event's registration and sponsor website, online card payments, a sponsor tier ladder, and day-of check-in. Live mobile scoring and a big-screen leaderboard is $400; the engagement tier with push broadcasts, sponsor PDF invoices, and tiered mulligans is $750+. You set your own registration prices and keep that revenue.
Are fees added at checkout for players or sponsors?
No. There's no platform fee, service fee, or tip prompt added to what your registrants and sponsors pay. Many platforms are free to the organizer precisely because they recover their cost that way; we charge you one flat amount instead. Standard Stripe card-processing fees still apply and go to Stripe, not to us, with funds settling into your own Stripe account.
Will golfers outside our network find the event?
They can. Golf Sync also runs a public tournament catalog that players browse by state, city, and ZIP code, and listing your event there is free whether or not you host with us — so your tournament is discoverable by golfers already searching for something to play in.
