## What is Course Guide GPS?

The only GPS enabled course / yardage guide for golf courses INCLUDING bunkers, hazards, tees, as well as the center, front, and back of greens.  Course Guide GPS also allows you to track your score, total strokes, putts, chips, sand shots, as well as penalties.

New in version 3.5 you can view your playing statistics in the Player Information screen.  These statistics include your best rounds, average scores by hole, and the best you've played each hole.

In version 2.0, you can see tips from the pros on how to play holes, save your own notes, and even keep track of each of your shots.  Plus, if the course supports online tee time booking, Course Guide will take you right to that page.

The app is free and you purchase only the courses you want.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-04-21*

Poorly made, glitchy to the point I couldn’t use, and less information than a printed book one can buy in the pro shop. 

1. Can’t select a course without it hiding the start link. Clicked rounds tried to change course hides other info
2. Terrible navigation in app nothing is intuitive 
3. Expensive
