Getting Started

1. Sign up and create your account

Visit the sign-in page and enter your email — we’ll send you a magic link and a 6-digit code. Click the link on this device, or type the code if you’d rather sign in somewhere else. No password to remember, and no credit card to start.

The first 100 games every month are free. After that it’s $0.10 per game, capped at $99/month — you only pay when players actually use it.

2. Set up your venue

During signup you will provide some basic details about your venue:

• Business name -- the name players will see on their scorecards.
• Venue slug -- a short URL-friendly identifier (e.g. “seaside”) that becomes part of your venue link.
• Brand colors -- optional. Customize the look of the player-facing scorecard to match your branding.

You can update all of these later from the Settings page.

3. Create your first course

Head to Courses in the sidebar and click New Course. You will need:

• A course name (e.g. “Pirate Cove”)
• The number of holes (typically 9 or 18)
• The par value for each hole

Once saved, the course is live and players can start using it immediately.

4. Share your venue link with players

Your venue has a unique URL based on your slug, for example: miniGolfScorecards.com/seaside. Players visit this link on their phone to pick a course and start a game.

You can also download a QR code or a printable flyer from the course detail page. See the QR Codes & Flyers guide for details.

5. Work the dashboard checklist

Your dashboard shows a short getting-started checklist with the high-leverage things to set up:

• Create your first course — holes and par values
• Upload your logo — brands scorecards and player pages
• Print a QR code or flyer — for the countertop
• Play a test game — try the player experience yourself
• Set up Google review prompts — add your Google Place ID
• Add a partner promotion — optional, but lets you earn from local advertisers

Hole-by-hole player feedback (👍/👎 per hole) is on by default for new venues — you can disable it in Settings if you’d rather not collect it.

The dashboard also shows games played this month and total, billing status against the free tier, and recent game activity.
