Rounds
What counts as a round on Birdied?
Anything you played. A full eighteen, nine holes, a par-3 course, a pitch and putt loop, a scramble, a practice round where nobody kept score. Birdied's Atlas is a record of the courses you have actually played, so the only test is whether you were there. Logging a round asks for the course and the day it happened. The score, the tees, the holes and a note are all optional, and a round with none of them is a complete round. Nothing on your record ranks one round above another, and there is no completion score to chase.
Does it count?
Does a pitch and putt round count?
Yes. You played golf on a golf course, so log it and the course joins your record like any other. It goes on your Atlas as a played pin, it counts towards your course and country totals, and you can rate and review it. Pitch and putt and mini-golf layouts do stay off the default country and region lists, which are full-length golf. That is a decision about what those listing pages are for, not a judgment about your round. Each of those courses keeps its own page, and you can find it in search.
Do par-3 courses count?
Yes. A par-3 course is a golf course, and playing one puts it on your record beside everything else. Birdied does not grade a round by its par, its length or its reputation. The short course you play on a weekday evening sits in the same list as the famous one you travelled for, and both show the day you were there. If you kept a score, keep it on the round. If you did not, log the round without one.
Does a 9-hole round count?
Yes. Nine holes is a round, and so is the twilight loop you walked off after six. Birdied records where you played rather than whether you finished a card, so you never have to decide whether a round was worthy before you log it. You can say a round was nine holes when you log it, and a nine-hole score is left out of your scoring average so a short card cannot flatter or spoil it. Leave the score out altogether and the round still stands on your record.
