  • Backswing

    Participated · Seed · Oct 2025

    Backswing has created an all-in-one platform designed to simplify every step of the recreational golf experience. Through its mobile app, golfers can book real-time tee times, invite friends, split payments, check in digitally, track scores, and interact with courses in a single workflow. Launched on September 16, the product attracted more than 8,000 downloads in its first week and already lists over 4,000 courses with direct booking capabilities. For course operators, the software reduces no-shows and delivers customer data without adding back-office burden. The roadmap includes a Pro Tool for lesson scheduling and payment, real-time on-course competitions, turnkey tournament support, and AI-driven course recommendations. Positioned as the “operating system for amateur golf,” the company differentiates itself by serving both players and courses through one tightly integrated solution. Backswing is headquartered in Ogden, Utah and is led by founder and CEO Gregory Woodfield.
