We turned the hole-in-one into
a verifiable moment.
For a century, the hole-in-one was a story you told but couldn't prove. We built the first AI camera system that watches every par 3, verifies every ace, and pays every winner.
Our Mission
Real shots. Real proof. Real payouts.
Hole In One Contest is the first AI-verified hole-in-one platform. We install camera hardware on partner par 3 holes, our patent-pending AI tracks every shot from tee to cup, and we pay winners directly. AI-verified. Video proof. Fast payouts.
Golfers get a HD 4-clip cinematic video of their swing whether they ace it or not. Courses earn passive revenue from entry fees. Tournament organizers stop paying for HIO insurance and start earning revenue share instead.
We're a small team based in Toronto with engineers across North America, building in the open and obsessed with getting the details right.
What We Build For
Three principles. Every decision traces back to one of these.
Verifiable by default
Two synchronized AI cameras watch every swing. Every shot is timestamped, geocoded, and stored. No claims, no insurance disputes — just video proof.
Instant payouts
When you ace it, the AI scoring flips green, the win posts to the leaderboard, and the bank transfer queues in under 60 seconds. No 8-week claims process.
Cinematic for everyone
Even if you don't win, you walk away with a 4-clip HD video of your swing — Blue Comet shot tracer, slow-motion impact, the lot. Bring the contest into your highlight reel.
