Fine product for deals and ease....
I am (newly) returning to the game now that my boys have become avid golfers. I didn't have all these new features and ease of booking when I played this game many years ago. I like the ease and 24-hour availability to book tee times. My crazy life and business make it difficult to be available to many courses during business hours to reserve a time.
I live in Utah, which has a LOT of terrific golf courses. I wish that GN had more Hot Deals at more of the courses around the Salt Lake, Davis, and Weber County areas. I find myself limited to only a couple of courses for Hot Deals, and a couple of my favorite courses are not in this program. I have spoken with a couple of reps at GN, and they are familiar with the courses I am wanting to play - they just have not been able to work out a contract with those courses. Good luck! I hope we can add them soon!
All in all, GN has been a good product for me and my boys. I would like and appreciate a greater variety of courses in the Hot Deals program. There are too many great courses around me to be limited to a "couple" of deals.

Tee time mistake corrected quickly!
I had a very bad first experience with this app. My "hot deal" reservation booked me at a course where a tournament was happening. We were told it happens a lot and I had to contact golf now to get a refund. I was upset at the time but didn't call customer service or do anything. I just hurried to make a new reservation the old fashioned way.
That being said, in less than 24 hours, without me contacting anyone at golf now, I received confirmation that my refund was being processed. Happy to say they corrected their mistake and I was compensated quickly and without a hassle. Still not 100% sold on the app but then again I only booked the one tee time, but I will give it another shot. Well done.

Generously giving 3 stars
The app is useful and accurate for a free gps. Basically the only thing its good at. It also has a slight stat track feature which keeps handicap. Besides these things which need improvement on their own this app sorta blows. If you let your screen dark you must open, load and resume round everytime. Stupidest sht ever when im using a gps app which should be in use till I close it. Stat tracking is weak as well. I want to know more about my rounds, ie putt lengths, sand shots and penalty strokes. Also where i live (SE PA) there is no reason to book a tee time through the app. You will always pay more than course rate. I have yet to find 1 tee time on the app that beats just callin the course (hot deal excluded, usually 1-2 golfers at weird hour) Whats the point? Greedy and half of the courses around arent listed to book tee time with. I deleted this app once after 2 rounds. Itll probably happen again. Golfnow needs to improve on things. All that money and youre names on a generic product. Like a prov1x playin like a mojo. C'mon

Response from developer
Krsone, you can track bunker and penalty shots when scoring. When setting up your round, select "Stat Tracking" and make sure to turn "Penalties" and "Bunkers" on. We are aware of the issue with the app closing during GPS, and plan on fixing that (aggravating) issue in the near future. Thanks for the feedback! -GolfNow
Awful customer service
This app is not worth it! People! Just search Golfnow Review online! It shows you how they rip you off! But this is my experience. I tried to book a tee time, it doesn't work saying it's not available anymore. But the app charges me anyway. So I wanted a refund. I try calling and it takes forever so I give up. I go to their site and try customer chat and I tried to explain my issues. In the mid sentence I'm writing this, their "customer service, Scott P" close the chat... What?! I wasn't taking long time to write the sentence. And I purposefully divided explanations and sent my first sentence ahead so they don't think I'm gone. I thought maybe there was a connection issue and I tried to reconnect. Same "Scott P, the customer service representative" appears. He asks for my name and email. So I did. He recognizes my name and email and instantly cut off our chat. What?! This isn't a good company. It might have been descent app before, but they obviously don't know what they are doing anymore.

Good app BUT...
This app is good for finding tee times and assist in not having you call all over the place. HOWEVER, as stated by many others, which is pushing me to the brink of deleting the app and downloading another, is the fact that I can A. Only use my rewards $ on a hot deal? And B. It has to be three days in advance, which I noticed never has the cheapest tee times that early. The 12-15$ tee times are always 24 hours out, so it's there way of preventing you from using your rewards money wisely instead of on a 70$ "hot round" that will literally be as cheap as 12$ two days later. 5$! Every time I book a round for a twosome? That's ridiculous for fee's and the 100$ to "eliminate fees" for a year, you would have to play 2x a week every week to even make it worth the 100$ lol no thanks

Essential for any golf enthusiast.. BUT
We've got some pretty good golf in my area and this is a nice convenience yet I'm moving to a new city soon so I already see where this can come in handy for me. Love the app so far I think any golf enthusiast should staple this onto their homepage, with that said I think there's a lot of things that could make the experience much smoother from app to tee. It'd be quite nice if I could pay my entire rate all over the app instead of paying the convenience fee to book my time and then go to the clubhouse and pay my rate. With my main use of the app being such, I could delete the app and just call and save myself the cost of the fee. Overall I like it though. Saves some time searching the web for great deals.

GolfNow, are you listening????..
Easy to navigate, and save $$$$. Saves a lot of calling around. I would like to see GolfNow work with more courses to accept single tee times instead of "2 only" when there are openings. I do book a lot on my own and it seems silly to leave the tee sheet empty when people are willing to play.....
My only other comment is the recent decision to require 3 days notice to use your $10 rewards coupons. BAD decision, plain and simple. Hopefully you're reading other reviews who feel the same..and it is forcing you to play before the coupons expire. You can make other tee times the day before, so why not the "Hot deals"???... Please change it soon before more golfers leave the site. I'm pretty close to leaving also....

Helping me rediscover the game.
GolfNow is the premiere service for both discovering new courses to play near or far and capturing a value so you have some extra change on your pocket to play even more golf! On average GolfNow saves me $10-20 per 18 holes played, and when you play as much as I do it adds up fast. The absolute best part about GolfNow is the exclusive offers that are available for users of the service. Just recently, I was able to play Firestone Country Club North while the top 50 golfers in the world were warming up 100yds away from me on the driving range, GolfNow invited me out to participate in a "member for a day" offer that I would highly suggest others to take advantage of any time it's available.
