Corporate Outings
Corporate golf outing software that turns a round into real relationships.
FairwayOS is corporate golf outing software that runs a company or client golf event end to end — branded registration and payment collection, smart networking pairings, live scoring, and a big-screen clubhouse leaderboard — from one platform. Players never download an app or create an account, and FairwayOS takes 0% of registration revenue.
The corporate outing planning problem
A great corporate outing shouldn't mean a clipboard at registration, a spreadsheet of who's paired with whom, and a highlighter to track who showed up. For the person at a company who got handed "you're running the golf thing," the logistics — invites, payments, foursomes, scoring, sponsor logos, and the day-of scramble — are where outings go sideways.
FairwayOS turns those logistics into a few taps, so the event looks like it had a full tournament staff behind it even when it was just you — and turns a round of golf into relationships your sales team can build on Monday morning.
How FairwayOS runs your corporate outing end to end
From the first invite to the post-event recap, every part of the outing lives in one workspace:
Smart pairings that start deals
Seat your top reps next to the prospects who matter. Pair by networking intent, seniority, or handicap so every group is a relationship in the making — not a random draw.
LinkedIn networking, built in
Turn it on, and players add their LinkedIn profile URL to their player profile — then anyone in the event can click through to it from the leaderboard or a player's profile, so conversations that start on the course keep going long after the 18th green.
White-label event branding
Your logo, colors, and custom domain carry through the event experience players open — clients see your brand, not ours. (The full white-label and custom-domain experience, along with LinkedIn networking, is on the Enterprise tier.)
Effortless client registration
Private invite links, branded pages, waivers, and payment-ready signup. No chasing checks, no paper forms.
Big-screen live leaderboard
A clean, branded leaderboard on the clubhouse TV turns the round into an event everyone's watching.

Registration, payments, and scoring in one workflow
Players register from a branded event page using a private invite link — no FairwayOS account required. Payments run through your own Stripe account, so the money lands directly with you and FairwayOS takes 0% of registration revenue. Standard Stripe processing costs still apply.
On event day, players enter scores from their phones, the leaderboard updates in real time, and a clean branded board on the clubhouse TV turns the round into a shared moment. Net and gross scoring, flights, and side games are all supported.
Formats that fit a corporate field
Corporate fields are mixed-ability — a scratch sales lead in the same event as a client who plays twice a year. A scramble keeps everyone moving and competitive, which is why it's the default for most company outings, and FairwayOS supports it alongside individual play with net and gross scoring so the leaderboard stays fair across skill levels.
Flights group similar handicaps so the awards aren't a foregone conclusion, side games like skins and closest-to-the-pin add stakes on a few holes, and a shotgun start gets a full field off the course at once for the lunch-and-awards window. The format is a setting on the same event, not a separate spreadsheet.
Sponsor visibility for client outings
Plenty of corporate outings are underwritten by sponsors or partners who expect their logo in front of the room. FairwayOS manages sponsor tiers and logo placement and carries that branding across the registration page, the live leaderboard, and the clubhouse TV, so a hole or beverage sponsor is seen all day rather than on a single printed sign.
After the event, a post-event sponsor report packages where each sponsor appeared and the impressions they earned, so you can show partners the value of backing next quarter's outing.
