Turn your par 3s into repeat rounds.
SwingCheddar lets golfers pay to take the shot they're already about to hit. Hit the green and they earn a future green fee at your course (paid for by SwingCheddar). You get incremental revenue, return visits, paying guests and a growing opted-in golfer audience — without adding staff.
No staffing. No expensive equipment. No complicated course integration.
Golfer wins? We pay for the round. SwingCheddar reimburses your green fee.
We fill your tee sheet in non-peak hours. You choose the redemption windows.
The two things every GM needs to know
When a golfer wins, we pay for the round. And we fill your tee sheet in non-peak hours.
Every winner's round is paid for by SwingCheddar.
The reward is not a comp and it is not a discount. When a winner redeems, SwingCheddar reimburses your course the qualifying green fee. You still get paid for that tee time.
- No free rounds coming out of your pocket
- Guests who come with the winner pay their own green fees
- Cart fees can stay outside the reward
We fill your tee sheet when you need it most: non-peak hours.
You choose when rewards can be redeemed, like weekday afternoons, twilight or slow seasons. Winners and their paying guests land in the tee times you'd otherwise leave empty. Your prime times stay protected.
- 7:30 AMPeak — full
- 9:00 AMPeak — full
- 1:40 PMSwingCheddar winner + 3 guests
- 2:20 PMSwingCheddar winner + 1 guest
- 3:50 PMSwingCheddar winner + 2 guests
- 5:30 PMTwilight — SwingCheddar winner
You get paid for the winner's round. You get paying guests. You fill the tee times you choose.
INCREMENTAL REVENUE
Monetize golfers already on the property.
REPEAT ROUNDS
Winners have a reason to come back.
PAYING GUESTS
Redemption visits can create additional paid rounds.
OWNED AUDIENCE
Build a permission-based golfer list you can activate later.
One golfer can create revenue today, another booking tomorrow, guest revenue on redemption and a future marketing relationship.
You already paid to get the golfer onto the course. SwingCheddar helps you monetize what happens next.
Every round already costs you in maintenance, labor, and marketing. SwingCheddar creates a new revenue moment within the round you already sold — and turns it into a loop that brings golfers back.

Four steps. Almost none of them are yours.

Golfer scans and plays
Golfer scans QR, pays on phone, records attempt, takes normal tee shot. No staff needed.
SwingCheddar verifies the result
Processes submitted attempt. High-confidence auto-scored. Uncertain = manual review.
Winners return

That's basically it.
You're not giving away prime inventory. You're directing demand into the inventory you choose.
Your course controls which windows are eligible for reward redemption. Push demand into non-peak times, seasonal lulls, or whatever inventory you want to fill. And when the winner shows up, SwingCheddar pays your course for that round.
Turn underutilized tee-time inventory into customer acquisition.
A winner isn't one free golfer. It's a future booking.
Winning creates another tee-time opportunity.
Every challenge can help build your next sold-out event.
With golfer permission, SwingCheddar turns everyday course traffic into a first-party audience your course can activate later.
The problem:
Courses spend repeatedly on Facebook, Instagram, paid ads, stale email lists, and external booking platforms to reach golfers. Every time you need to fill an event, you start from scratch.
SwingCheddar creates another path.
Activate Your Audience For
Don't rent attention every time you need to fill a scramble. Build your own golfer audience.
All audience data is permission-based, opted-in, and collected with golfer consent.
Because they actually believe they can win.
Traditional Contests
Hole-in-one contests. Nearly impossible. Most golfers know they won't win. Low engagement, low excitement.
SwingCheddar
Hit the green. Attainable. Already on the tee. Already taking the shot. Adds no extra time to the round.
“I'm hitting this shot anyway. Why wouldn't I take a shot at my next green fee?”
What golfers are thinking on the tee box
Give them another shot later in the round.
More exposure
Multiple touchpoints during the round.
Multiple opportunities
Golfers get another shot later in the round.
Test different holes
Find which par 3s drive the most participation.
Optimize results
Balance participation rate vs. win rate across holes.

The questions a GM is actually going to ask.
SwingCheddar does. When a winner redeems their reward, SwingCheddar reimburses your course the qualifying green fee. The winner's round is not a comp and does not come out of your pocket. Guests pay their own green fees, and cart fees can stay outside the reward.
During the non-peak windows you choose: weekday afternoons, twilight, slow seasons, with blackout dates as needed. Rewards fill the tee times you want filled and keep your prime times protected.
Nothing upfront. SwingCheddar earns a share of the challenge fees golfers pay. Your course gets a revenue share, plus all the downstream benefits: return visits, guest rounds, cart fees, ancillary spending and an owned golfer audience.
Golfers submit their attempt through the SwingCheddar app. High-confidence results are auto-scored. Any uncertain result goes to manual review. The system is designed to be fair, accurate and resistant to manipulation.
No. The golfer scans a QR code and pays on their phone before or while on the tee. They take their normal tee shot. There is no extra shot, no waiting, and no staff involvement on the tee.
None. SwingCheddar provides signage for participating holes. Everything runs through the golfer's smartphone. No cameras, no sensors, no course WiFi dependency.
SwingCheddar handles all golfer-facing customer support. Your staff should never need to troubleshoot a SwingCheddar challenge.
Winners receive a unique redemption code via the app. When they book or arrive for their reward round, the pro shop validates the code. SwingCheddar tracks the redemption and handles reimbursement.
Yes. Your course sets eligible redemption windows: specific days of the week, time-of-day restrictions, seasonal availability and blackout dates. You direct demand into the inventory you want to fill.
No redemption means no cost to the course. You keep the challenge revenue from their attempt. Unredeemed rewards are a pure-margin outcome for the course.
Every golfer who participates has the option to opt in to receive communications from your course. All data collection is permission-based and consent-tracked. SwingCheddar manages compliance so you don't have to.
That's exactly what it's for. Scrambles, tournaments, leagues, twilight specials, F&B events, membership drives — you have a growing list of local golfers who have already played your course and opted in to hear from you.
Winners return during your chosen redemption windows, not all at once. Redemption is spread over time. And remember: every winner brings an average party that pays full green fees and cart fees.
No. SwingCheddar is a skill-based challenge. The golfer pays to take on a specific golf challenge — hit the green — and earns a reward if successful. There is no element of chance beyond the golfer's own ability. We use language like challenge, play, reward and win. Never bet, wager, odds or gambling.
Your GM dashboard shows challenge attempts, revenue, win rates, redemption rates, return traffic, guest rounds, audience growth, and more. You see the full loop from tee box to return visit.
Most courses can go live within days of signing. Choose your holes, set your redemption rules, place the signage, and SwingCheddar handles the rest.
Yes. Many courses activate 2 or more par 3s. Multiple holes give golfers more opportunities, generate more revenue and let you test which holes perform best.
You can pause or stop at any time. There are no long-term contracts required. We believe the results will speak for themselves.

Don't guess. Test it on your golfers.
Choose 1–2 par 3s. Measure what matters. Then evaluate on your own numbers.
See what your golfers actually do before making a long-term commitment.
Your golfers are already taking the shot. Make the shot worth more.
Turn existing par-3 traffic into incremental revenue, return rounds, paying guests and a first-party golfer audience you can activate again and again.
