Reports growth, new ways to earn golf gear and possibly win a trip to Bandon Dunes;
Rewards app community surpasses $250K in redemptions and 100K monthly active users
MERRILLVILLE, Indiana — GolfN, the innovative golf rewards platform and digital caddie app that pays golfers to play, reports steady growth in user engagement and rewards redemption, passing the 100,000 mark for monthly active users across its digital ecosystem, and $250,000 in member rewards redeemed.
Additionally, since the app launched in 2025, 50,000 rounds have been tracked by members engaging with the in-round scoring, GPS, and social features.
The golf community’s first true rewards app, GolfN allows members to redeem points they accrue by playing rounds with the GolfN mobile app engaged – with or without its dynamic GPS yardage and digital caddie mode.
And golfers are becoming hooked on the gratification of earning those points with eyes on using them to claim coveted merchandise from some of golf’s respected brands, including L.A.B. Golf, Miura, Cobra Golf, Bettinardi Golf, Srixon, and Cleveland Golf.
One member simply explained that for every three rounds he plays, he earns the equivalent of a brand-new Cobra wedge, so why wouldn’t he open the app and simply hit ‘Start Round’ and ‘Tee Off’ every time he plays?” Co-founder and CEO Jared Phillips said. “Credit cards rewards programs don’t necessarily pay you back like this, in golf items that you really want. We have seen eleven straight weeks of setting new records for both new users and rounds played – over the winter – which tells me we’re building something that people genuinely want to engage with and take deeper.”
GOLFERS REALLY WIN ON THE GOLFN APP
Another loyalty-driving cornerstone of the GolfN platform is its thrilling rotation of sweepstakes opportunities, in which there is always something new to bid on or win. To date, golfers have secured extraordinary prizes such as a nine-day golf trip to Northern Ireland, a L.A.B. Golf putter fitting excursion to Oregon, an expenses-paid trip to Carlsbad, Calif. For a full-bag Cobra Golf custom fitting experience, a custom Bettinardi putter set, with more enticing offers – and chances to win – from GolfN’s growing list of Points Exchange partners.
“What we consistently hear from users is this sense of surprise and delight — people winning something or redeeming points for an experience they never thought was within reach. Maybe it’s a new set of wedges, a driver, or even a trip,” Phillips said. “Those moments change how someone relates to the game. It makes it more accessible, more attainable. What resonates with me personally is helping the everyday golfer get closer to the game they love.”
Winner of the recent Cobra Golf Sweepstakes, Tyler Fields was flown from Oklahoma to Southern California to be fit for a full set of Cobra woods, irons, wedges, a putter and golf bag, a monumental upgrade from the used set he purchased when he first took up the game.
“I downloaded GolfN, played a couple rounds. Then I saw they had this Cobra experience on there and I put all the points I had on it. I don’t think I could have even dreamed of having this experience without this sweepstakes,” Fields said.
BANDON BOUND
Just in time for peak golf season, GolfN also recently launched one of its most anticipated sweepstakes to date, the 1st Annual GolfN Invitational at Bandon Dunes Golf Resort Sweepstakes in which every round played on the GolfN app through the end of his summer automatically earns users an entry into this exclusive member event at the famed Coastal Oregon Resort, Oct. 21 – 25. Additional rounds increase their chances to win, further incentivizing play and engagement during the game’s busiest months.
Entry into the 1st Annual GolfN Invitational at Bandon Dunes includes:
· Four nights in single-occupancy luxury king rooms at the Inn, Lodge, or Round Lake
· Rounds at Pacific Dunes, Bandon Trails, Old Macdonald, and Bandon Dunes — plus an optional short course round at Bandon Preserve
· Welcome dinner, prizes, and tee gifts
“We really strive create special opportunities for GolfN users. Golf is a commitment, both in time and financially, and golfers deserve to be rewarded for that commitment,” Phillips said. “What has really surprised me is the intensity of our members’ engagement. There’s this moment where someone joins, tries it out, and then suddenly accelerates — they’re playing more, logging in more, interacting constantly.
“Our power users are logging in more than 75 times a month. That’s not normal behavior for a golf app. That’s something deeper and seeing it quantified across thousands of users was incredibly powerful.”
Accessibility remains central to GolfN’s model. The app is free to use, ensuring that any golfer can begin earning immediately. For those seeking to accelerate their rewards, GolfN offers optional membership tiers that provide points multipliers and enhanced earning potential — without compromising the core free experience.
As GolfN continues to scale, its mission remains clear: to make every round more rewarding, every golfer more engaged, and every moment connected to the game more valuable. The app is available to golfers everywhere in Apple and Android versions.
