Questions and answers

• Do I need to download an app?

  No. CrazyGolfScores works in your phone’s browser. Scan the code at the course, or find the course on the map, and the card opens.

• Do I need an account to play?

  No. You can keep score for a whole round without signing up, and the round saves on the phone you scored it on.

• What does an account give me?

  You keep every round you have scored, not just the last 30 days. You can share a result with the group, and keep the offers venues give you.

  You can sign up with an email address, or with Apple or Google. Log in or sign up.

• How do I find a course?

  Open the map and search by course, town or postcode, or let it use your location to show what is near you.

• My course is not on the map. Can I still keep score?

  Yes. Score a course we do not list: you give it a name, play as normal, and the course goes on our list to add.

• How many people can play on one card?

  Up to eight. Somebody who joins halfway round can be added at any hole.

• What if I close the page halfway round?

  Scores save as you go, on that phone. Find the round under Saved scores and carry on scoring where you left off.

• How do offers work?

  Some venues give registered players offers, such as money off the next visit or a treat at the café while you play. Sign up, or be signed in, to keep them. They are saved under Offers in your menu, with how long you have to use each one.

  To use one, show the code under My code at the counter. Staff scan it and choose the offer.

• Can a venue see my name or email?

  No. When staff scan your code they see the offers you hold for their venue, and nothing about you. Venues do not see individual players’ details. Privacy has the rest.

• What is CrazyGolfScores for a venue?

  Digital scoring for mini and crazy golf, a venue page on the CrazyGolfScores website, and promotions that bring players in, keep them spending while they play and give them a reason to come back. It is built for this industry, not a general scoring app.

• What are the levels?

  Listed: your venue on the map and in the list, with its phone number, email, website and opening times, and courses, holes and pars you can correct yourself.

  Scoring: everything in Listed, plus your description, photographs and prices, a place above courses nobody has claimed, and QR codes that take players straight to scoring.

  Marketing: everything in Scoring, plus a venue promotion, course promotions while people play, and your numbers for each one.

  Promoted placement is an add-on: greater prominence in the website’s listings and search.

• How many promotions can we run?

  One venue promotion at a time, which shows on your listing and your venue page to bring people in.

  And one course promotion at a time on each course, which players see while they are scoring, from halfway round. One promotion can cover several courses. Both are for registered players.

• What does it cost?

  A low monthly fee. Pricing is agreed with each venue.

• Do we need developers, hosting or a website?

  No. There are no developers, web hosting, databases or domain names to sort out. You put the QR code up at the entrance and where people pay.

• Do our players have to sign up?

  No. Nobody needs an account to play. Players are asked to sign up only to keep their cards and your offers.

• How do staff take an offer?

  Staff log in on their own phone, scan the player’s code and tap the offer being used. The discount goes through your till as it does now. Staff see your venue’s offers, never the player’s details.

• Who looks after GDPR?

  We do. You will not see individuals’ data: we are the processors and controllers of it.

• Our venue is already on the map. How do we claim it?

  Open your listing and choose “Is this your course?” at the foot of the page, or go straight to the claim form.

• How do we get started?

  Write to registration@crazygolfscores.com. The first step is a scoring demonstration, then a pilot at your venue.

What it does for a venue, and the levels side by side, are on For course owners.
