$49 once vs $149 a trip — and this one scores the money.
Golf Genius Trip Manager is very good at what it’s for: pairings, tee sheets, points races, making a 12-man weekend feel official. It runs $149 per trip, covering up to 12 rounds and 36 players.
It just isn’t built for the other half of a buddies trip. Nothing in a tee sheet knows that Danny pressed on 14, that the skin carried three holes, or that you’re into Ryan for $40 since May. On most trips the money — the actual reason anybody remembers one — lives on a napkin and in one guy’s memory, same as it did in 1994.
Two Down is the other half. $49 once, for the whole group, and the money is the main event.

Who should actually use Golf Genius
If you’re running a club championship, a charity scramble, or anything with a committee, a big field and an official result, use theirs. That’s the job it was built for, it covers up to 12 rounds and 36 playerson one trip, and there’s an organisation behind it when something goes wrong at 7am on the first tee.
Who should use us
Eight to twenty-four guys, three or four days, and a group chat that’s already arguing about teams. You want the tee times and pairings sorted, the rounds scored, the bets settled, and a record that survives the flight home.
Try the free part first.
Play one Saturday round on it before you spend anything. No account, no install, and the scoring and settle-up are free permanently — not a trial.
