The quickest way to find your Golf ID is to log in to Min Golf, either in the app or on the web, where the number is clearly shown at the top of your profile. It is made up of your date of birth in the format YYMMDD followed by three characters, for example letters or digits, and that number stays the same no matter which club you switch to or how many times you move your membership.
If you have lost your login, you rarely need to call anyone. The number is printed on your golf card, saved in your inbox from when you registered, and it can be retrieved via a password reset in just a minute. Below we go through each route one by one, plus what to do if none of them works.
How to log in to Min Golf and see the number straight away
By far the easiest way is to open the Min Golf app or go to the web version and log in. Once you are in, the Golf ID is shown at the very top under your name, together with your current handicap and which club you belong to. If you already have the app installed, the number is just a couple of taps away every time you want to book a tee time or register a round.
If the login works but you don't remember where to look, find your profile or account page. The Golf ID is always shown there in plain text, and you can copy it straight into a booking or a competition entry form without typing it out by hand. This is also where you can see whether details such as your email and phone number are correct, which is worth a quick check while you're logged in anyway.
Where is the Golf ID if you can't log in?
If you can't get into the app, the number is available in several other places that don't require a password. The most common is your physical or digital golf card, where the Golf ID is printed together with your name and your home club. Many people also still have the welcome email from the club or the federation, and the number is almost always included in the confirmation itself.
A third route is to search your inbox for previous competition entries or booking confirmations. The Golf ID is often included in such automated messages, so a search for the word golf or for the club's name usually digs up the number faster than you'd think. If you have ever received an invoice for the membership fee, chances are the number is on there too.
Forgotten your password? Here's how to restore your login step by step
If no card and no email is enough, a password reset is the surest way back in. On the Min Golf login page you select the forgot password option and enter the email address you registered with. The system then sends a link where you set a new password, and once you're in you'll see the Golf ID directly in your profile.
If you no longer know which email address is linked to the account, or if you have changed both your address and phone number since you joined, contact your home club's office. They have access to the membership register and can look up your Golf ID and update your contact details so that the reset works next time. A call or email to the office solves, in practice, every situation where the digital shortcuts have jammed.
What the number actually means and why you need it
The Golf ID is your personal identity in the Swedish golf system, linked to your handicap and your membership history. The number is personal and stable over time, unlike a membership number that can change if you move clubs. That's why you can play on new courses, join a new club or enter a competition at the other end of the country without ever needing a new ID.
In practice, it is the number that lets the system know who you are when you book a tee time, register a round or enter a scramble. If you have ever wondered how to find your golf ID ahead of a competition season, it is precisely this link between the ID and the handicap that is the heart of it all. A correct competition handicap requires that the rounds are on the right Golf ID, so it's worth checking that everything is connected before you stand on the first tee.
Practical mistakes that stop you finding the Golf ID
The most common error is mixing up the Golf ID with the internal membership number the club uses in its own systems. The two look different and are used for different things, and it is always the Golf ID with the date-of-birth format that you should enter in Min Golf. Another recurring problem is duplicates, meaning someone has accidentally created two accounts, which is resolved by the office merging them.
Searching for the answer to how to find your golf ID also becomes unnecessarily complicated if you look in the wrong place, for example in an old app version or on a club website that is no longer in operation. Stick to Min Golf and to the club's official office, and you'll avoid detours. Once you have the number memorised or saved in your phone, you rarely need to think about it again.
When the number is sorted, it's the course and the feeling that count
Having your Golf ID in order is fundamentally about the same thing as the rest of the game: avoiding friction and being able to focus on the round. Just as a correctly registered handicap gives you peace of mind on the first tee, the right gear lets you think about your swing instead of the weather. A Tech Polo in navy in a light, functional material fits just as well during a competition round as on a Sunday social round, and stays fresh even when the day drags on.
If the weather turns during the round, it's nice to have an extra layer close at hand, and a midlayer to pull on when it gets cold makes the difference between staying in the game and freezing away the last few holes. The same logic applies to the details: a players glove for the left hand gives a stable grip when the grips have become sweaty or damp, which is often exactly when a round is decided.
Once the practical side is sorted, both the number in your profile and the garments in your bag, you can devote your energy to the game instead. If you want to complete your wardrobe ahead of the season, you can see the full range at Local Rule, where function and a pared-back, timeless style go hand in hand all the way from the first tee to the nineteenth hole.
