It’s VEGAS BABY, and this pro-am is all about those vibes. The popular pro-am event takes over several Vegas courses including the Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort, home to three Pete Dye signature courses.
AM GOLF is. once again, the official event management and scoring platform for the Vegas Baby Spring Shootout, scheduled March 29 through April 1, as part of the “world’s largest Pro-Am.”
“The Vegas Baby Pro-Am has several challenging team net Stableford formats unique to our event,” said Scott Kolb, a PGA member and owner of Vegas Baby. “Previous tournament scoring systems we used were unable to figure out how to score without heavy manipulation by the organizer post round. However, the AM GOLF team only took minutes to apply the formulas and tweaks required. Scoring was rock-solid, setup was fast and the social layer kept players connected throughout the week – something we’ve never seen executed this well. It also saved us from having a conferencing / communications app and a scoring app, so participants only needed one app for the entire event”
The Vegas Baby Spring Shootout serves as a secondary event to its fall edition and accommodates up to 600 golfers competing over three rounds at top-rated courses throughout the Las Vegas area. Held during the peak of March Madness, the Spring event will take place at Paiute Golf Resort (three Pete Dye-designed layouts), Spanish Trail (Robert Trent Jones Jr.), and Reflection Bay (Nicklaus Design Team).
AM GOLF technology powered the 2025 Vegas Baby fall event and will do the same for this year’s edition, November 15-19.
Simplifying complex operations for Vegas Baby staff, the AM GOLF platform represents a simpler means to run golf events while delivering more modern player experiences. AM GOLF’s super-easy registration, live scoring and leaderboards, communication and golfer-creation side games reduce administrative burden without limiting flexibility.
AM GOLF is also well known for its built-in AI agent that helps Vegas Baby set up events on each player’s behalf with a simple voice command, making event creation faster, easier and less dependent on manual staff input.
Golfers also have more control over their own experiences: they set up and manage their own private games and side competitions without relying on golf shop staff for every request or adjustment. That means fewer interruptions for the Vegas Baby team, and less pre- and event- day friction.
“Operators want tools that make events easier to run, not harder,” said Kevin Carpenter, U.S. Managing Director of AM GOLF. “Vegas Baby is a perfect example of what makes AM GOLF different – we handle sophisticated tournament formats quickly and accurately while giving players connected social experiences which create more fun for them and less work for staff.”
