Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is HostMyRound?

HostMyRound is a platform that connects travelling golfers with local hosts for shared rounds, authentic golf experiences, and cultural connection.
Travellers can explore new destinations through local golfers, and hosts can earn money by showcasing their home courses and city.

2. How does it work?

  1. Travellers browse hosts in different cities

  2. Choose a host, course, or experience

  3. Send a booking request

  4. Host accepts → payment is processed

  5. You meet, play, and enjoy the experience
    It’s golf travel, but more human.

3. What does a typical experience include?

Experiences vary by host, but often include:

  • A round of golf at the host’s home course

  • Local recommendations

  • Post-round drinks, dinner, or sightseeing

  • Optional add-ons (sunset rounds, practice sessions, golf challenges)

Each host sets their own offerings.

4. How do hosts earn money?

Hosts set their own price for the experience.
They earn money each time a traveller books with them.
HostMyRound takes a small fee to operate the platform.

5. Are green fees included?

Hosts clearly indicate whether:

  • green fees are included

  • you pay them separately

  • they have access to guest rates

Everything is transparent before booking.

6. Is HostMyRound safe?

Yes. We screen hosts, collect reviews, and verify identities.
All payments are securely processed.
You’ll also be able to see:

  • host ratings

  • past reviews

  • experience details

  • mutual connections (future feature)

7. Who can become a host?

Anyone who:

  • loves golf

  • wants to meet travellers

  • can offer a round at their home course

  • wants to showcase their city

  • enjoys sharing local experiences

You don’t need to be a pro — just passionate.

8. What if I’m travelling alone?

Perfect.
HostMyRound is designed for solo travellers who want connection, community, and a friendly local to play with.
Many users travel alone specifically to meet hosts.

9. Do hosts need to provide accommodation?

No — HostMyRound is not about staying at someone’s home.
This is Golf × Experience × Community.
Hosts offer rounds, local experiences, and cultural connection — not lodging.

10. How much does it cost to use HostMyRound?

It’s free to browse.
You only pay when you book an experience.

Hosts earn money → travellers get value → both sides win.

11. What if a booking needs to be cancelled?

Hosts set their own cancellation policies:

  • flexible

  • moderate

  • strict

Each policy is clearly listed before booking.

12. Can women join?

Absolutely — HostMyRound is for all golfers.
We aim to make golf travel more inclusive and community-driven.

13. What if my course doesn’t allow guests?

Hosts must check their course’s guest policy.
Many allow:

  • guest green fees

  • visitor tee times

  • flexible booking
    If not, hosts can offer off-course experiences (e.g. practice sessions, golf walks, par-3 courses, simulators).

14. Do I need a handicap?

Not always.
Some hosts prefer a range; others welcome beginners and casual players.
Everything is clearly displayed.

15. How do reviews work?

After each experience, both traveller and host leave a review.
This helps build trust and improve the community.
