Two teams. Every hole pays
Sneakies is the golf game your group plays inside the round, and the app that keeps it. Every point, every dollar and every shot, live for the players and for everyone watching from home.

Learn the game in 2 minutesWhat is Sneakies
A game you play inside your normal round. Four golfers, two teams of two. Every hole hands out points, the team with more points wins the hole, and every point is worth money.
If you've played Scotch, you already know the bones. Scotch is the two-on-two points game golfers have played for years: low ball, low total, closest to the pin, birdies, and a press when you fall behind. Sneakies takes that and gives you a reason to care on every shot: more ways to score, points for swinging a hole, and the bridge, so the team that's down is never out.
Nobody keeps it on a napkin. One person scores in the app and it works out the strokes, the points and the money as you go.

How a round works
- 1
Pick teams on the first tee
Two against two. Tell Julie who is playing and what a point is worth, or tap it in. About a minute.
- 2
Call your shots
Hit the green? Say Greenie. Up and down? Sneaky. Say it out loud and the scorekeeper taps it.
- 3
The app scores every hole
Net scores, points, who won the hole and the money, the moment the hole goes in.
- 4
Settle up at the bar
The app shows who owes what. Sneakies never holds or moves money; you settle between friends.
Your friends watch from home
Sneakies happens live, on the course and on every phone that has the link. The guys who couldn't make it follow every hole from the couch.
One link for the group chat
Every match gets its own link, and the app texts it to the players when you start. Anyone you send it to can watch. No app needed.
Live, hole by hole
The score, every point and the money update the second a hole goes in. Bridges included.
Photos and videos from the course
Anyone in the match can post a shot. The sandie, the forty-footer, the drop by the water: it lands in the feed.
Every match saved
Go back to any round: the card, the pictures and the write-up the app does when the last hole closes.
The app makes it easy
Scotch dies on the back nine because somebody has to keep it. Sneakies doesn't.
- 1
Nobody does math on the 14th green
Enter gross scores. The app gives strokes on the right holes, works out low ball and low total, and keeps the money.
- 2
Nobody argues the rules
Every rule is in the app, and you can ask the rulebook anything mid-round. Type the argument, get the ruling.
- 3
The bridge is one tap
Down? Call a Bridge and the hole pays double. The app knows who's allowed and when.
- 4
Free, all of it
No subscription. The only thing for sale is ball markers for your profile, and they never win you a hole.
Or just tell Julie
Julie is the voice scorekeeper in the app. Say what happened and she fills in the card. She knows every rule and reads the hole back before it locks.
You
Brett made four, I made five, Larry made three. Brett had a greenie.
Julie
What she says back is not printable. You'll hear it on the first tee.

First tee
1 of 16The match

It plays by itself. Tap the right side to skip ahead, hold to pause.
Straight answers
Is Sneakies gambling?
No. Sneakies is a scorekeeper. It counts points and tracks what a point is worth if your group decided it was worth something, but it never touches money: no deposits, no payouts, no processing. Whatever gets settled, gets settled between friends after the round.
Does everybody need the app?
No. One person keeps score. Anyone in the group with the app follows the same live card and can add notes and photos. Anyone else can follow the match from its link.
How many players do I need?
Two against two is the classic, and one against one works too. The two teams just have to be the same size.
Play it once. You'll never play a round without it again
It's the game in the golf videos. Watch a match on YouTube, then take it to your course this weekend.
