How do I add tee boxes and enter par for each hole?

Tee boxes define the course layout for your event. At minimum, you need one tee box with par entered for every hole in play.

Step-by-step

1: Open the Course tab

  1. Open your event in the Outing Organizer.
  2. Click the Course tab.

2: Add a tee box

  • 18-hole event: holes 1 through 18
  • 9-hole event: holes 1 through 9

3: Add additional tee boxes (optional)

If golfers play from different tees:

  1. Click Add Tee Box again.
  2. Enter a different tee name. The pars, hole handicap indexes and slope and course ratings will copy over from the first tee.
  3. Update the information as needed.
  4. Save.

Important note: The tee boxes you use don't have to be from the same course. For example, if your event spans across several courses, you can enter in each courses teeboxes and assign them to the golfers playing that course in the next step.

4: Assign tees to golfers

  1. Go to the Golfers tab.
  2. Set each golfer's Tee to the appropriate tee box.
  3. Save.

When importing golfers from a CSV, enter the same name in the Tees column as the name of the tee box in the Course tab. PlayThru will automatically associate the golfer with that tee.

Default tees shortcut

Users subscribed to our Customer Scorecard have the option to add Default tees. These tees are set up in the Account Settings section. Every new event will copy and use that tee information automatically. This is a great feature for golf courses and groups that pay the same courses regularly.

Validation

The Scorecard tab flags Missing pars if any hole has par = 0 or blank for a tee box in use. Par is required for:

  • Points (Stableford) scoring
  • Handicap / net scoring
  • Skins
  • Hardest Holes tiebreaker

Tips

  • Par values come from the course scorecard — don't guess.
  • For multi-round events, each round can have its own tee boxes (configured per round on the Course tab).
