Because we were frustrated golfers. Alba was born from wanting a simpler, more inclusive way to organise games, meet players, and enjoy golf without the faff.

Alba makes casual golf easier to organise. No group chat chaos, no awkward money-chasing, and no club membership required.

Golfers who want to play more without jumping through hoops. Especially beginners, returners, social players, and time-poor enthusiasts.

Alba shows you upcoming games near you and lets you join instantly. No need to know anyone beforehand.

Absolutely. Alba is built for all levels, whether it’s your first round or your fiftieth.

We use filters like location, availability, play style and other preferences to recommend rounds that fit you.

Yes. Alba is made for that. You can join solo, meet others through the app, and grow your golf circle, or bring friends along.

Yes. Alba uses secure payments so everyone pays their share upfront. No chasing people after the game.

No membership fees. You only pay your share of a round plus a Payment Protection Fee when you book.

The organiser. Alba helps connect golfers, but you or the organiser will first book directly with the course.

Yes. Alba lets you filter by experience level so you're matched with players at your pace.

If you want to host a game and collect money from others, Stripe ensures secure payments and compliance.

If you've paid, your spot is locked in. No-shows are not eligible for refunds unless the organiser cancels the entire game after you’ve paid.

A small non-refundable fee added to every payment. It covers Stripe costs and helps protect you when mediating disputes.

No, your payment is final unless the organiser cancels the game. Make sure you can commit before paying.

The organiser should mark the game as cancelled. We’ll refund all players (except the Protection Fee).

Email hello@golfalba.co and we’ll guide you through account deletion and data removal.

If there’s a serious disagreement, it may go to our internal review committee. Their decision is final.

Alba uses a fair play system. If you repeatedly miss games without warning, your account may be temporarily suspended or permanently banned.

No, each participant must have an account and pay through the platform. This ensures transparency and coverage through our protection system.

Yes, but the payment from your missed game is non-refundable and cannot be transferred. You’ll need to pay again for the new round.

Absolutely. Club members can join or organise games just like everyone else. Alba is designed for everyone, whether you play twice a year or every weekend.

No, Alba is not an emergency communication tool. If you’re in danger or need urgent assistance, please contact emergency services directly.
