About golf apps
Casual players may need only a basic GPS and scorecard, while serious golfers look for accurate shot tracking, detailed stats and swing training. Some add league tools for managing rounds with a group. Disc golf players should look for apps with disc-specific maps and scoring. Features vary widely, but distance accuracy counts most, since a rangefinder replacement is only useful if its yardages can be trusted.
What to look for
- Check the GPS accuracy and course coverage, because incorrect yardages can lead to poor club selection.
- For swing training apps, see if they offer video analysis and drills that match your skill level.
- If you play disc golf, confirm the app supports disc golf courses and scoring, not just traditional golf.
- Consider how the app is paid for, such as a subscription for premium maps or a one-time fee for the full version, and whether ads interrupt play.
- Look at offline use: can you download courses and use the app without a signal on remote parts of the course?
