Joining Caddychicks as a caddy is completely free. There are no monthly fees, no subscription costs, no upfront charges, and no minimum booking requirements. You only pay a small platform fee when you accept a confirmed booking and the round takes place. This zero-risk model means you can create your profile, start receiving booking requests, and grow your caddy business without any financial commitment upfront.
When a golfer books you and the booking is confirmed, Caddychicks deducts a small percentage fee from the booking amount before releasing the remainder to your connected payout account. This fee covers payment processing, fraud protection, platform maintenance, and customer support for both sides of the booking. The exact fee percentage is shown clearly in your caddy dashboard when you review each booking before accepting it — you always know exactly what you will earn before you commit.
You decide what you charge. Most caddies on the platform set their per-round rate between $50 and $150 depending on their experience, local market rates, and the type of bookings they prefer. You can update your rate at any time from your caddy dashboard. Higher rates work well for caddies with strong reviews and experience at high-end courses; competitive rates help newer caddies build their review history quickly. Over time, strong reviews allow you to increase your rate and attract higher-quality bookings.
After a round is completed and verified by the golfer, your earnings are released to your connected payout account. Caddychicks partners with industry-leading payment processors to ensure timely, secure payments. Most payouts arrive within 2 to 5 business days of a completed and verified round. You can track your earnings history, upcoming payouts, and booking revenue directly from your caddy dashboard.
Tips are a meaningful part of many caddies' income. Golfers can tip through the platform after the round, which means your tip is included in your digital payout — no cash handling required. Golfers may also tip in cash on the course, which you keep in full with no platform fee applied. The best way to earn more tips is to deliver a genuinely excellent experience — our caddy resource library has practical guides on building rapport and earning better tips from your golfers.
The caddies who earn the most on Caddychicks are the ones who invest in great photos, write compelling bios, and consistently earn strong reviews. High-quality profiles with five-star reviews rank higher in search results and attract more bookings at better rates. Show up on time, deliver a great experience, and ask satisfied golfers to leave a review — that positive feedback loop is the foundation of a thriving caddy business on our platform.
If you decide caddying is not for you after creating your profile, simply deactivate your account at no cost. There are no cancellation fees, no minimum booking commitments, and no penalty for taking breaks from the platform. You control your schedule and your level of engagement entirely.
