Links Leagues is a distributed golf competition allowing Links Members and Guests to compete with each other from anywhere, anytime. To join a league, visit the Clubhouse and click on "Leagues" in the Navigation bar. From there, you can browse active leagues and join one to compete.
How Links Leagues Works
Links Leagues works simply by playing golf as you usually would and then posting your score to the entry platform hosted in the Links Clubhouse. By entering your scores, you compete against yourself, and a target score is determined by a formula using your most recent rounds. The better you play against your target, the more points you earn. Each “round” posted is a nine-hole round. If you play 18, post both front and back rounds separately to count as 2 rounds.
After joining a league, you play golf as you usually would. The only requirement is to post your scores to Clubhouse. Your scores are then posted to a leaderboard, earning points relative to your target score (a formula that considers your recent round performance). At the end of the league season, the player with the most points wins.
The table below provides examples relative to the target score and the amount of points earned for a round.
Actual Score vs. Target Score | Points |
10+ under Target | 20 (max) |
9 under Target | 19 |
… | … |
2 under Target | 12 |
1 under Target | 11 |
On Target | 10 |
1 over Target | 9 |
2 over Target | 8 |
x over Target | 10 - x (no minimum) |
