Do I need an account to play a casual round?

No — The Side Game player app is free to use in your browser right now, no signup required to try a round.

Do I need to log in to play in an organised event?

No login for players — your organiser gives you an Event Code and a Player Code, and that's your way in. Nothing to sign up for.

I'm organising a golf day — where do I start?

Head to Side Game Event and sign in — you can create an event, add your course, and add players from there.

Is there an app I can download?

Native iOS and Android apps are on the way. For now, the player app works straight in your mobile browser — no install needed.
