Registration

Golf tournament registration for players, teams, and foursome sponsors.

FairwayOS collects online golf tournament registrations and lets a buyer reserve a team through the sponsor-a-foursome checkout when the organizer enables it. Player and foursome payments use the organizer's connected Stripe account, with registration details kept alongside the event roster.

Give players a clear route from invitation to entry

Share the event's registration link and explain the entry price, playing date, and information each golfer needs to supply. The player form collects the details configured for the event and sends a paid entry to hosted checkout. A registration record and a completed payment are separate states, so check the payment status before treating every name on the roster as settled revenue.

The event can offer configured registration extras alongside the entry. Tell players what each option includes and keep required information distinct from optional questions or communications consent. When checkout cannot start, the player receives an explanation and the organizer can follow up. That exception needs an operating process; a reserved place is not proof that money has arrived.

Team registration and sponsor checkout for a foursome

Enable the foursome option when one buyer should reserve several player places in one purchase. The registration card shows the number of players and price per foursome, collects the buyer's details, and continues to secure checkout. After purchase, the buyer can name and invite the guests. This supports a company hosting a team or a sponsor funding player places without making the buyer complete every guest's information first.

The sponsor checkout described here is specifically the sponsor-a-foursome flow. For other sponsor packages, the public sponsor page offers an inquiry form so the organizer can discuss the placement and deliverables. Do not assume every sponsorship tier has the same online purchase flow. Keep the package agreement, logo collection, and any separate payment arrangements clear before promising a sponsor a position.

Keep registration and event-day preparation connected

As entries arrive, use the organizer's roster and team controls to prepare the field. Assigning players to a score team is a different decision from placing a group on a starting hole. Check both before sharing the final instructions. A sponsored foursome can belong together for the day while still needing correct names, contact details, and any event-required information before play.

Before check-in opens, reconcile paid entries, invited guests who still need to finish signing up, and any checkout exceptions. Give volunteers the current event roster rather than yesterday's exported list. Publish the arrival time, starting arrangements, scoring instructions, and a contact for corrections. The software keeps these tasks in the event workflow, while the organizer decides when the field is ready.

Understand the payment path before collecting entries

Connect the event organization's own Stripe account before opening paid registration. FairwayOS takes 0% of registration revenue: no platform fee and no transaction fee on registrations; standard Stripe processing applies. The software subscription is separate from the entry amount that the organizer charges players. Check the payment guide for the wider checkout and reconciliation workflow rather than treating this registration page as a payment agreement.

FairwayOS subscriptions are Starter $79/mo or $399/yr; Pro $199/mo or $1,199/yr; Enterprise $499/mo or $3,490/yr; Custom from $8,000/yr. Review the annual registration capacity and plan features against your season, including other events using the same organization. Set the event's player prices from the course, meal, and operating costs you actually agreed.

Can one person buy a team?

When the organizer enables the foursome option, a buyer can reserve the configured player places and then name and invite guests after checkout.

Can sponsors check out online?

The verified sponsor-a-foursome option supports online checkout. Other sponsorship packages use the public sponsor inquiry workflow and the organizer's agreed arrangements.

Is a roster entry proof of payment?

No. Review the payment state. If checkout cannot start, the registration flow can preserve the place and ask the organizer to follow up.
