★★★★★ Grandfathers Son Handy Services · Jun 23, 2026
Fairly accurate yardage, it has all the courses I go to. Great app.love, shot an 85 at River Run Bradenton fl.
★★★★★ Don Gosselin · May 27, 2025
This App works great. I am an average golfer that tracks my games, my score & handicap. The touch yardage is fantastic especially within 150 yds to the greens.
★★★★★ James Powers · Nov 23, 2024
Great for viewing courses yardage and keeping track of your scores
★★★★★ Ben Johnson · Jun 3, 2026
Great golf app! Using free version right now for distance but think I'll upgrade to add my golf bag. Works fast and offers everything I need right now.
★☆☆☆☆ Steve Medlock · Mar 17, 2025
Too expensive. I've used this app for 10 years and have generally liked it. However, the latest updates made it worse and now the price went from $25 a year to $100! I'll have to switch to a different app. Update 3-17-25. You want me pay a 400% increase or pay for fewer features AND help you fix the bugs? No, thanks. What's wrong with the last update is yardages can be way off randomly when they were accurate and entering hole scores is difficult and inaccurate. Says scores I enter are wrong
★☆☆☆☆ John Davison · Dec 18, 2024
Received a notice that my annual subscription would jump from $26 to $170. It's completely unjustified and has completely turned me off using the app. Way to take a dump on loyal customers. Unsubscribed.
★☆☆☆☆ BREAKTHROUGH (with Dr. D) · Mar 29, 2026
Stats r a scam. They say stats r included in the std pay plan but u get no useful stats at all whem u pay for std plan. Use for free or not at all. They bait and switch by saying stats included then u need ton upgrade a second time to get any useful stats. . And app is glitchy and slow to.
★☆☆☆☆ mark moran · Oct 22, 2024
The more they mess with 'updating' it the worse it gets. 2 stars down to 1. Tired of the ignorance, deleted this and went to a far superior GPS app called Golf Pad.
★☆☆☆☆ luke pengilley · Jul 26, 2026
I've cancelled my subscription, but they still keep trying to take money from my cancelled credit card. I'm going to see if I can report you to Google. It used to be a good, affordable app. Now they're just money grabbers!!
