Features & Pricing

What your league fee pays for

Your green fee pays for the golf. Your league fee pays for everything that turns a round into a real match: a fair handicap, live scoring, standings, playoffs, and a league that runs itself around your tee time.

Every player
$25
player fee, per season

Pays for your seat in the league. Your handicap, your matches, your scoring, your stats, and your shot at the playoffs.

  • A real match every week, with points on the line
  • NTMGL Handicap Index, updated after every round
  • Live scoring, verified results, stats and standings
  • Personal dashboard, RSVP, and text/email/push alerts
  • Earn $10 credit per friend you bring in (up to 3)
Team captains
$600
team fee, for Spring Season

Pays for the team's seat in the season. The team fee isn't for golf; it's what puts a team on the schedule, in the standings, and in the playoff race.

  • A place on the schedule, in the standings, and in the playoffs
  • You own the roster: invite friends, pick from the Draft
  • You set the lineup every week
  • Your team name, logo, and history carry over each season
  • Up to 7 referral credits instead of 3

Fall Open Play is individual drop-in play: $25 per player, no team fee.

Green fees are paid at the course, not to the league

You pay for your own round each week, just like any day you play. Folding a full season of golf into the league fee would push the team fee into the thousands. This way you only pay for the rounds you actually play, and the league fee covers everything else.

Player or captain?

The $25 pays for the player. The $600 pays for the team. A team can't exist without someone holding the spot, and that's the captain's trade: you cover the team fee, and you run the roster, the lineup, and the team's identity.

The team fee is easier split

Lots of captains split the team fee with their roster. How your team handles it is up to you; here's what it works out to per player if you split it evenly.

Questions about cost

Because the team fee buys the team, not the golf. A captain gets a spot on the schedule, in the standings, and in the playoffs, plus control of the roster, the weekly lineup, and the team's name and history. If you'd rather just play, register for $25 and join a team through a captain's invite or the Draft.

No. You pay the course for your own round each week. Including a season of golf would push the team fee into the thousands, and you'd be paying up front for rounds you might miss.

Everything that turns a regular round into a league match: your handicap, live scoring and verification, standings and stats, playoffs, notifications, and the league operations that tie it all together.

The captain is responsible for paying it, but many captains split it with their roster. Split evenly across 8 players, $600 is $75 each.

Yes. Register as a player and sign up for the Draft. Captains pick up players from the Draft before the season starts.

Invite a friend with your personal link. When they register and pay their player fee, you get $10 credit, up to 3 per season (7 for captains). Credit can go toward league fees, team fees, or Pro Shop gear.

Fall Open Play is individual drop-in play: $25 per player, no team fee. RSVP for the dates you can make and the league pairs you with an opponent.
