The smart golf app · Est. 2025

Golf, at a
higher
level.

The app that takes your golf as seriously as you do. Track every shot, compete in any game your group can dream up, and host any event — any format — all in one place. The most configurable golf platform in the game.

The Perch — live in-round scoringThe Perch — live in-round scoring
Track

Every shot, stat, and stroke — GPS distances, scorecards, handicap, and history that actually means something.

Compete

Any game, your rules. The most configurable games engine in golf — and it settles every bet for you.

Host

Any event, any format — tournaments, leagues, and Ryder-Cup trips, all in one place.

Track

Score smarter.
Play better.

The Perch turns every round — casual or competitive — into something worth keeping. Track every shot, surface the stats that move your game, and build a handicap that is actually yours — by golfers who got tired of paper scorecards and napkin math.

01
Every shot, on one screen

Score, putts, GIR, fairway direction, tee club, penalties. Configure what shows up so the screen only asks what you care about.

02
Distances and stats that matter

GPS to the front, center, and back of every green. Putts, GIR, fairways, and your miss patterns — plus hole-by-hole history so you know your tendencies before you tee off.

03
Your group, your handicap

Add friends, follow their rounds, see who's leading the week. Posts feed your USGA handicap; private rounds and practice rounds don't.

Compete

Any game.
Your rules.

This is what sets The Perch apart. Match & Stroke, Skins, Vegas, Wolf, Nassau, Stableford, Quota, Nines, Split Sixes, High-Low, Beat the Card — 20+ formats, and every one bends to your group. If your foursome plays it, The Perch scores it.

01
20+ formats, out of the box

From a simple Skins game to team Vegas, Wolf, and Nassau — live-scored hole by hole, with the math handled for you.

02
Configure everything

Presses and carryovers, point values, team-handicap allowances, gross-and-net payouts, custom targets. Tune any game until it plays exactly like your group's.

03
Side bets, settled to the dollar

Stack side games on top of the main match. When the round ends, one ledger shows who owes whom — no napkin math, no arguments.

Premium events · Coming soon

Access to the
unreachable

Down the road, The Perch will open doors that stay closed to the public — negotiating access to private clubs and prestigious venues so our members can play courses that would otherwise take years on a waitlist, or remain forever out of reach.

○ Coming soon
01
The Inaugural

A shotgun start at an exclusive private club in Southern California — a course most golfers will never set foot on. No dress rehearsal. Just 88 players, a great track, and the start of something.

Event Two

Another private club. Another field of 88. The Perch is building a calendar of access — courses that reward those who know where to look. Details for list members first.

Event Three

The calendar grows. More private clubs, more access, more of Southern California's best golf opened up to the people on this list. Stay close — spots fill fast.

The philosophy

Why The Perch exists

01
Your game deserves to be remembered

A round is more than a number on a napkin. Every shot, every putt, every up-and-down — tracked, kept, and turned into stats that actually make you a better golfer.

02
Golf is better with your people

The best rounds are the ones you talk about afterward. The Perch is built around your group — your friends, your games, your running bets, and your bragging rights.

03
Serious tools, zero friction

Built by golfers who got tired of paper scorecards and napkin math — fast enough to use between shots, powerful enough to run a whole tournament from your phone.
