Event Caddy

Event Caddy is well suited to a charity golf outing that needs registration, sponsor sales and player pairings in one place. The free package can handle the basics, but player registration fees, payment processing and optional auction charges matter alongside the Pro or Elite package price.

Honest Limitations

Free software still has paid-registration costs

The US pricing page charges players USD 4 per registration paid through Stripe or PayPal. The organizer also pays the applicable merchant fee.

Paid features have additional conditions

Pro's custom tournament URL lists an additional USD 30. Auction purchases list a 2.5% fee, and paid packages include 500 texts rather than an unlimited allowance.

Sponsor administration needs rehearsal

Michelle H.'s 4 December 2019 Capterra account wanted sponsors to upload their own logos and found some controls hard to locate. This historical observation is not asserted as a current restriction.

Online scoring requires a connectivity plan

The official scoring instructions use a mobile web/app workflow. Reliable disconnected scoring and later synchronization were not established in the sources checked.

Golf-specific administration is the reason to consider Event Caddy: pairings, hole assignments, sponsor packages and tournament registration share the same workspace. Test the player checkout and the volunteer scoring process before publishing the event, and keep the package price separate from costs paid by golfers.

The fit assessment follows documented scope. Reviews are dated individual accounts; no hands-on product test or vendor interview is claimed.
