### 2/5 — Connectivity is key

*2026-05-18*

I’ve enjoyed using this app for the last year or so – I would’ve continued indefinitely, but because all of the programs sit in the cloud, my driving range doesn’t have great connectivity and basically I can do an exercise but not save it.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you so much for rating and reviewing CORE Golf. We truly appreciate the feedback and kind words. Happy Golfing! Best regards from everyone at the CORE Golf team ⛳️

### 3/5 — Not all weather

*2025-12-22*

It needs plans that do not rely on you being on the course on different lies. In winter drills are required for in the sim or in the range bay only. Other than that it is brilliant

**Developer response:** Hi!

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. You are absolutely right, expanding training plans to better support off course and indoor practice is something that makes a lot of sense, and we appreciate you highlighting it.

We are very glad to hear you are enjoying CORE Golf overall, and your suggestion will be shared with the team as we continue improving the experience year round.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-09-24*

Great app and worth the money. I love how not only do they create a plan for you based on your needs, but you can also create you own. It’s definitely helped me drop 2 strokes off my handicap. 

The only things I wish it had was a notes section on each practice session and a place to write down rounds scores/notes. If someone plays 2-3 rounds in a week and doesn’t practice the performance bar drops because you didn’t practice. 

Worth the money!!!

**Developer response:** Hi!
Thanks so much for the awesome review. We’re thrilled to hear the app has helped you drop strokes and that you’re finding real value in it! 🙌
We appreciate the thoughtful suggestions. That’s great feedback, and we’ll share it with the team as we continue improving the experience.

Keep up the great work on the course!

### 3/5 — Great foundation — but scoring and flexibility need serious work

*2025-06-26, version 3.0.1*

Core Golf has a lot going for it. It’s easy to use, looks great, and the challenge-based format makes solo practice far more engaging. I appreciate the structure it brings to practice across all areas of the game — from putting and chipping to full swing. For golfers who want more purpose and accountability in their sessions, this app really delivers.

It’s worth noting that Core Golf isn’t designed for technical swing work. If you’re dealing with a major swing fault — like a big hook or slice — this app isn’t going to diagnose or fix it, and that’s not its purpose. It’s more about giving your practice structure, focus, and feedback based on performance — not mechanics.

That said, the app also has some big limitations that are hard to overlook — especially if you use it regularly.

The scoring system is the biggest issue. Many drills only reward near-perfect outcomes — for example, in a chipping challenge, you might get 2 points for finishing inside 3 feet, 1 point for inside 6 feet, and zero points for anything beyond that, even if the shot was still quite good. This creates a problem for mid- and high-handicap players, who may be making real progress by consistently getting inside 10–12 feet — but the app gives them no credit for it.

To illustrate: if I hit 12 chips that finish just outside 6 feet — let’s say between 7 and 10 feet — I’d score zero. But if I hit 1 chip to 2 feet and the other 11 off the green, I’d score more. That doesn’t reflect actual improvement. The app should either allow users to scale the difficulty, or introduce more realistic scoring windows that reward consistency and progress — not just elite precision.

The performance tracking is also underdeveloped. You can only view history by drilling into individual challenges — there’s no central dashboard to show trends, identify strengths/weaknesses, or track your actual progress over time. The “Progress” system tries to blend consistency and drill success, but it’s flawed: a couple of great sessions can set unrealistic expectations, and then you either stall or regress without the app really capturing what’s happening in your game. There’s also no way to edit scores once logged, which could be useful for correcting mistakes.

Another issue is that the drill library feels static. What’s there is solid, but it hasn’t grown much over time — and there’s no way to create your own drills or adjust existing ones to suit your needs.

The app also misses a big opportunity in how it builds its “custom plan.” It doesn’t account for your facilities or physical condition. You might get bunker or full-swing drills even if you only have access to a putting green — or are managing an injury. Giving users the ability to filter out certain types of drills would make the experience far more realistic and inclusive.

To be clear, I like this app. I use it regularly. It has real value. But it’s held back by rigidity — in how it scores, how it adapts, and how it evolves. I’d love to see the team keep building on what they’ve created. In fact, I’d even be happy to help with any issues I have mentioned or help with any testing. There’s a ton of potential here.

### 4/5 — Good start a Golf practice app

*2025-06-07*

I was looking for an app that helps me to set up a proper Golf training and track my practice. This app is a very good start. I am missing a test of skills at the beginning to better set the practice drills. Though, there are lot of drills and ideas on how to set up a proper practice to improve.

**Developer response:** Hi, Matthias!
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you find the app a good starting point for your golf practice. We appreciate your suggestion about including a skills test to help set up more personalised drills. It’s something we’ll keep in mind as we continue improving the experience. If you have any other ideas or suggestions, feel free to reach out!

### 4/5 — Great App for my predictability

*2025-03-06*

I use the app every day to work in different aspects of my game. I’m already seeing subtle improvements in my game like less “right” misses. Less miss chips.

**Developer response:** We love hearing that Hole19 is helping you improve your game! Using the app daily to track progress and make adjustments is a great approach, and it’s fantastic to know you’re already seeing improvements!
Keep up the great work, and if there’s anything we can do to enhance your experience even further, let us know. 🩵

### 5/5 — Practice with purpose

*2025-02-05*

Great app, gets you in the habit of actually practicing, not mindlessly smashing driver at the range.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! Keep up the great work, and we’re here to support your improvement. Team CORE Golf

### 5/5 — Great app to focus on your game

*2025-02-03*

This app is Amazing!! Not only does it give you drills to perform but it will remind you if you start slacking in your training. I unfortunately had to do some mandatory OT at work for a couple weeks and the Core app emailed me and told me to get back to the course and keep grinding. That’s impressive. I would HIGHLY recommend this app if you’re looking to improve your game. Todd Whitehead  Fuquay-Varina, NC

**Developer response:** Thanks for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that CORE Golf has helped keep you on track with your game. We’re all about helping you stay focused and improve. Keep grinding, and we’ll be here to support you along the way! Best, Team CORE Golf

### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2025-01-04*

This app has been great so far! I used to just go to the driving range with no goal, just hit a bunch of balls. The app gives you drills to practice so when I go I actually have a plan of action and something to work towards. Because of this app, I’ve corrected my slice in my drives and my iron accuracy has increased!

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! We're thrilled that the app has helped you improve your game and given you a more focused approach at the driving range. It's great to know you've corrected your slice and improved your iron accuracy—keep up the excellent work! Feel free to reach out if you have any other suggestions or feedback. Team CORE Golf

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-19*

The advice for hitting better drives is to practice hitting more fairways. Gee why didn't I think of that?!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We get it—some golf advice can sound obvious, but our goal isn’t technical coaching. CORE Golf is all about gamifying practice to help golfers train with purpose rather than just hitting balls aimlessly. We appreciate your perspective and hope you'll give us another shot! - Team CORE Golf

### 1/5 — Cool idea, poor execution.

*2024-12-18*

It’s a super neat idea, but all the “drills” and practice are basically just “hit your driver 10 times. How many stayed in the fairway?” 

That’s not helping fix an out to in slice. That’s not helping address fundamental errors and it’s not even helping to identify them. 

Not with the price, even at $4. Sorry, had to be honest.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, Steve. While we understand that golfers need technical help, that's not our focus. Our mission is to stop aimless practice - we exist to gamify practice and help regular golfers turn those "spray and pray" range sessions into structured and purposeful practice. We appreciate your perspective and hope you'll consider giving us another try! - Team CORE Golf

### 1/5 — BETA App version …

### 1/5 — Cancelled app but was charged anyway

*2023-04-21*

I cancelled the app but was charged anyway, will remove review if refunded but terrible way to do business

### 5/5 — Great Improvement Tool

*2026-07-17*

If anyone wants to see an improvement to their game, I would highly recommend this app. When I first began using this app, I was a 14 handicap. Since then, I have brought my handicap down to a 5.3.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thanks for the recommendation! We’re thrilled to hear the app has helped you lower your handicap so significantly. Great work, and keep it up! ⛳️ Team CORE Golf

### 5/5 — Pas toujours cohérent

*2026-05-24*

Je pense que ça manque de drills rapides (5minutes juste pour travailler 1 point) ou de petits entraînements toujours rapides 15 minutes (par exemple avec le contact de balle, sortie de bunkers et quelques putts)

L’objectif, à chaque entraînement on ne sait pas ce qu’on va faire
