The good and the bad
This is a great app, but due to restrictions for me it is not usable. The customer service and response is the best I have experienced with any app. I purchased the premium membership to use the app to track wagers. The app will let you set the handicap for guests but not your individual handicap. While I understand it tracks and keeps an accurate handicap, I play in several groups/clubs that will only use the club play for club handicap. While I record all my rounds my actual handicap may not be the same as a particular club I am playing with albeit higher or lower. Because there is no way for me to adjust my handicap for wager tracking only while playing a club match, I am unable to use the app.
Follow-Up: As mentioned the customer service is fabulous, and they are very responsive, they even followed up on my review. The suggestion to change the slope of the course in the app does not address the issue at hand. While it will adjust my handicap artificially for that round, it would also adjust all the other players in the contest. So the issue remains. Additionally if the slope is adjusted wouldn’t that incorrectly record that round for handicap record purposes. It would be ideal if the app allowed for a “gaming” handicap edit. I have several other apps that allow an “edit” of any individual handicap for the bet tracking portion. Thanks for the follow-up.

Hi Sir, there seems to be a misunderstanding. All you need to do is Tap in the Green Circle that displays your handicap (on the Players Setup Screen) and you will be able to change your Handicap. Please try that again. Should be super simple. Sorry for any confusion. If you have questions or problems, don't hesitate to e-mail us at contactus@thegrint.com
I want to love this app!!!
Tracking scores is pretty easy, I like that for sure. I am a more casual golfer but golf four days a week all summer long, I just don’t really focus on my score. That being said, I am trying to get a better idea for my distance with each club and having a hard time with this app. It seems to work pretty well on my phone, and the distance is right a lot of times on my watch. Sometimes though it will “wake up” on my watch and the distance is at least 50yds off! I will ask a buddy that has his handheld and it matches my app 8 out of 10 times. It’s those two times where it is at least 2 clubs off. If I could run this app from my watch independently from my phone and have it give me accurate distances from the watch itself, not my phone, I would pay almost any amount of money. I could buy another device but with all the crap I carry on the course now, I really don't want a different gps. I need this to work!! Please let me know when it can be truly independent and a little more consistent. I think it is so close to being great!

Hi. Good afternoon. Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate it! We have a solution for you so the Watch is independent from the iPhone (if you have a Watch 2 or 3). Please e-mail us at contactus@thegrint.com so we can help you. We will be waiting for your email.
Best golf app in the App Store
I use this app every time I play golf. Now that I have an Apple Watch this app is even better. GPS on every course, keeps record of all scores, keeps your handicap, and keeps track of where to improve your game. I’m a USGA chairman for this app in my club/area. Everything is done by the books when it comes to USGA handicaps. The email response from the devs is amazing, they always get back to you. If you are looking for a free/useful/easy app for golf.....this is it. THIS IS YOUR APP.

Best golf app out there
Have tried other scoring apps but The Grint is definitely the most complete with 3D maps and handicap trends.
The only reason I refrain from giving it 5 stars is that there’s a small bug with the Watch App because it doesn’t sync automatically when I switch to the next hole on the iPhone app and the watch app still shows the previous hole.
Other than that I really like the small stats on the watch app that shows yardage to “dog leg”, front and carry bunkers as well as lay ups. Really help in devising a strategy before starting a hole. With the new 3D maps you get an even better idea of how the shot will fare, specially useful in hilly courses.
