I've been using a laser rangefinder for several years, but since a friend recommended this app, I've been using it well. Measuring the distance to the pin with the rangefinder has become very annoying. Now, convenience is key
★★★★★Bertran Colunga· Aug 1, 2024
The golf course images provided as satellite maps are really useful, everything is extremely realistic and detailed, especially for the dogleg holes.
★★★★★Mr. Pat G.· Apr 18, 2026
Great app Been using it for several years it's very accurate.
★★★★★Isidre Eberhardt· Jul 17, 2024
I like to have guidance on recommended distances for each club, distance to target and from target to green.
★☆☆☆☆Gary Whittle· Feb 19, 2024
Worst GPS app! Came pre-installed on the Samsung watch 5 Pro golf edition. I've previously tried numerous apps, and I've got to say this is the most frustrating! Won't start a round if it doesn't recognize you're at the Tee box (happens often) Picks up the adjacent hole instead of the hole you're actually on (happens occasionally) and comes up with totally inaccurate distances i.e. 500 yards on a short par 3! (Happens regularly) seriously considering ditching Samsung and switching to Garmin!
★★☆☆☆Sang Hee Won· Jul 24, 2023
I am not too impressed with this app. This app is buggy and inaccurate. I set my settings to display distances in yd, but club and course distances are displayed in meter. Also, it's not finding the holes correctly, especially the University of GA golf course. The distance tracker is off with huge margins. This app came with Galaxy Watch 5 golf edition, but I am not happy with the quantity of the app.

Problem when I register my score manually it only retains the first 9 holes. I really like that apps before this bug started.
★★☆☆☆Sibusiso Nkosi· Apr 19, 2024
When using the app on your phone, it only allows for 9 holes and the back nine, it's treated as a "New Game," preventing you from recording a complete 18-hole game. At Centurion Golf Club in South Africa, holes 8 and 9 are recorded as 17 and 18, and vice versa.
