What Alba Does (And What It Doesn’t)
Alba isn’t a golf club. It isn’t a tee time app. Or GPS/scoring app. It’s something new.
We built Alba to help golfers find people to play with, organise rounds without the admin headache, and finally enjoy the social side of the game without gatekeeping.
Here’s what it does. And just as importantly, what it doesn’t.
Why We Built Alba
Golf is amazing. But it can also be lonely, frustrating, and a nightmare to organise if you’re not in a club.
Traditional routes weren’t working for most modern golfers. We wanted a better way to:
Meet other players
Play more often
Make golf feel welcoming again

What Alba Doesn’t Do
We don’t book the course for you, organisers handle the tee time
We’re not a scoring app
We don’t gatekeep, Alba is for everyone
We’re not a replacement for golf clubs, but we are a great addition
Who It’s For
Golfers without a club who still want to play regularly
Club members who want more flexible rounds with new people
Groups who want to organise more games with less admin
New players who want to find a welcoming way in
