What CaddieNow does
CaddieNow, which grew out of Looper, supplies caddies on demand: clubs request loops and the marketplace fills them from its recruited pool, with the company publishing figures of roughly seventy-four club partners and over eleven thousand caddies. For a club without a yard of its own, that supply is the product — and it operates apart from the club's tee sheet and member systems.
What GolfCore does differently
On GolfCore the yard is not a separate system. Assignments come off real tee times on the sheet the shop already runs, caddies confirm by text and show as arrived on the same page, and every caddie carries the course itself — green contour maps with fall lines, live wind at their position, and the morning's pins, across more than four thousand mapped courses in all fifty states, Britain, and Ireland.
And the yard is a network. The Yard is the caddies' shared feed in the app, one community across every club on the platform — and once a caddie is onboarded at one club, any club on GolfCore can request them. GolfCore does not recruit caddies off the street the way a staffing service does; the network grows club by club, and every club that joins deepens the yard for the rest.
Side by side
| Capability | CaddieNow | GolfCore |
|---|---|---|
| Caddie staffing and recruitment | Yes — on-demand caddie supply is the product | No outside recruiting — but any club can request any caddie on the platform |
| Caddie scheduling | Through its marketplace app | Off real tee times on the club's sheet |
| Assignment confirmations | In-app | SMS to the caddie's phone, arrival on the sheet |
| Tee sheet and club booking | No — separate from the club's systems | Built in; the yard reads the same sheet |
| Green contour maps, live wind, daily pins | No | Yes, for caddies and members alike |
| Member-facing app | No — caddie supply tool | Yes, one app for members, staff, and caddies |
The short version
A club with no caddie roster that needs bodies for Saturday morning is CaddieNow's case — GolfCore does not recruit off the street, though a club joining GolfCore can request any caddie already on the platform. A club with its own program that wants assignments, confirmations, arrivals, and the caddies' course intelligence running inside the tee sheet is GolfCore's.
