Score mini golf with a tap of the putter

PuttTap is a dual-mode kiosk app for mini-golf courses. Each hole gets a touchscreen station; each putter carries an NFC tag. Golfers tap in, enter strokes, and the whole group shares one scoreboard — no pencils, no lost cards.

Golfer mode Hole stations on the course
Clubhouse mode Check-in & group management
Shared API One backend for every station

How a round works

From the first putter checkout to the final hole, scores stay in sync across the course.

01

Clubhouse check-in

Staff create a group, scan putters into it, and optionally name players. Broken putter? Swap the NFC tag without losing scores.

02

Tap at each hole

At the station, the golfer taps their putter to the reader, sees the scorecard, and enters strokes on a large touch pad.

03

Live group board

When everyone in the group has scored the hole, the group advances automatically. Running totals and the leaderboard stay shared.

Two modes, one product

The same app powering the clubhouse desk and every hole station.

Each putter is a durable NFC tag. Golfers don’t type codes — they tap and play.

Touch-first kiosk UI

Large targets, high contrast fairway theme, and on-screen keyboard where names are needed.

Shared clubhouse API

FastAPI + PostgreSQL backend so every station sees the same groups, members, and scores.

Auto hole advance

When every active player has scored, the group’s current hole moves forward for the whole party.

Putter replace / swap

Broken shaft mid-round? Assign a new tag without wiping the player’s card.

Demo without hardware

Simulate Tap / Simulate Scan with IDs like TAG001 for sales demos and training.
