GolfBevy

A mobile app with a course directory, friends' availability, games you set up or are invited to, chat and a library of golf reading, followed by the product's website.

Business context

What the client needed

GolfBevy helps golfers set up a round on public or private courses: friends mark when they can play, a directory holds the courses and clubs, and the game is agreed in the chat inside the app.

Finding a round is mostly messaging: who is free on Saturday, morning or afternoon, and which course will have you. The client wanted one app where golfers see which friends can play, look up a course or a private club and set up the game in a few taps.

User stories

What people do with it

• As a golfer, I want to see which friends are free on Saturday morning, so that I set up a round without a dozen messages.
• As a golfer, I want to look up a course or a private club before I play it, so that I know where I am going.
• As a golfer, I want to agree on the tee time in the app's chat, so that the plan and the talk stay in one place.

Key challenges

What made it hard

• 01
  Availability at a glance. Each friend's usual score and when they can play - morning, afternoon or a set tee time - fit in one line of the list.
• 02
  Games in both directions. A golfer sets up a round and invites friends, and other golfers can set one up with them.
• 03
  A directory worth browsing. Public courses and private clubs, with the year each was founded and its architect, next to a library of articles about the clubs and the game.
