Every feature, from the first tee to the 19th-hole settle-up — six worth leading with, and the full list below. Scoring is free; features marked Premium come with a subscription. During the beta, everything is switched on.
Every player's Handicap Index® lives on their card. Connect your GHIN® account and each match start brings in the latest values, then works out everyone's strokes from the tees they're actually playing — automatically.
Entering a Handicap Index® by hand is free. Automatic GHIN® updates are Premium.
Score the whole group from one phone, or let every phone score — it all consolidates live on one match scorecard. Choose your teams or tap Randomize.
Scoring the group from one phone is free. Hosting a match where every phone scores is Premium — joining one is always free.
Live distances to pin, front, center, and back — and drag the aim point to any tree, bunker, or layup spot on the map for an instant number.
Interactive graphs for all the standard stats — scoring, putting, driving, GIR, clubs — plus natural-language analysis on top. "How do I score on par 5s at my home course?" — real answers from your real rounds.
Send friends a link and they watch your round live on any device — scores, games, standings. No app, no account. Send it to the golfers in your group too, so nobody has to ask where things stand every hole.
Friends you’re linked with in the app can always watch your round live, free.
Get notified the moment a friend starts a round, then watch their scorecard live.
