How it works
Post your loop
The course, the tee time, nine or eighteen, and whether you want a caddie carrying or a forecaddie for the group. You set the price.
A caddie claims it
Local caddies see it on the board. You are told who, with their rating, their experience and the courses they work.
You approve them
Look at who claimed it and decide. Approve and they are confirmed; pass, and it goes straight back to other caddies.
Play the round
They meet you at the first tee. Reads, yardages, clean clubs and a bag off your shoulder.
Settle up
Your caddie marks the loop complete and the card you saved is charged. No cash on the eighteenth green.
What it costs
Whatever you offered when you posted the loop. Looper does not add a booking fee on top, and there is no subscription.
When you post
Your card is saved, not touched. Nothing is charged.
When you approve
A hold appears on your card, the way a hotel does it. Still not a charge.
When the round is done
The hold becomes the charge, and your caddie is paid out to their bank.
If you cancel early
Free up to four hours before your tee time, and the hold disappears.
If you cancel late
Inside four hours it is half the price — your caddie turned down other work for you. The app tells you the exact number before you confirm.
If the weather turns
We waive the fee for the whole course. You are not charged.
Tipping
Optional, and entirely theirs — Looper takes none of it. You are offered the choice when you rate them afterwards.
If you have never had a caddie
Nothing here is complicated. The full etiquette page covers it properly.
Lighten the bag
Take out what you do not need for the round. They are walking five miles with it.
Say what you want
On the first tee, tell them how much input you want: numbers only, numbers and a read, or a club in your hand.
Let them work
Do not race them to the bag or rake your own bunker. It looks polite and it gets in the way.
They are working, not serving
Say hello, use their name, thank them at the end.
What your caddie does
What you are paying for, specifically.
- Every round Yardages before you ask They get to your ball first with a number ready.
- Every round Your clubs cleaned Wiped after every shot and handed back clean.
- Every round The course looked after Bunkers raked, divots replaced, pitch marks fixed.
- On request Reads and club selection As much or as little as you want.
