What is Nassau in golf?

Three matches in one round. Lose the front and you still have two live. Nine holes is never the end of the day. There is always another one running. Nassau is played by head to head or two on two, and Big Fairways scores it hole by hole so nobody in the group has to keep track.

How do you play Nassau?

Why golfers love it

Nassau is the reason nobody walks in after nine. You can be four down at the turn, win the back nine, and still be talking about the overall on the eighteenth green. It is the fairest way to keep a whole round interesting.

How Big Fairways runs it for you

Pick Nassau when you set up the round, choose who is in, and start playing. The app prompts you at each step, keeps the running points, and lets you run other side games at the same time without the totals getting tangled. At the end you get one clean total per player and the shortest possible list of payments.

Send one link and your group follows the leaderboard live from their own phones, whether they are in your cart or watching from the clubhouse. Every round you post is saved to your own lifetime scorecard, which only you can see.

Common questions

What is a Nassau in golf?

A Nassau is three separate matches played during one round. One for the front nine, one for the back nine and one for the total eighteen holes.

What does a press mean in Nassau?

A press starts a brand new match from the current hole, usually offered by the player who is behind. Big Fairways tracks a press as its own match alongside the original three.

Can you play Nassau as a team game?

Yes. Two on two is the most common way to play it, with each side using its best ball on every hole.

Do you have to play for money?

No. Big Fairways counts points. What your group decides to do with those points afterwards is entirely up to the group, and the app never handles anyone's money.

Is Big Fairways free?

Yes, free while we build it. Every side game, the live leaderboard, the settle up totals and your lifetime scorecards are all included, and there is nothing to install because it runs in any phone browser.
