Backward change

Was much better a year ago

‘Approved rule 25.2’ No longer present on app

Why is it you can add advertising to the app but you can’t add one line to the disabled golfers info. This is rubbish and discriminatory. FIX IT. Disabled golfers have to fight for their rights every time they play because you have removed that approval notification.

Last 20

I like the app but I wanted something in it to easily generate a PDF of my handicap and my last 20 rounds, which I needed to enter an overseas event. Can this be added to the app, or is it already there?

Rubbish

I never write a review for an app. But this one is just another level. Get your act together GA

Buggy

Absolute garbage this app. Do better golf Australia

Not designed for users

Either the app or its data server are very slow; it takes quite a while to load the first page.

If it is possible to view the last 20 (+) rounds, the access has been very well hidden.

I was an IT professional, and this smacks of a rushed job which took into account little or no user input.

Why did they bother

Why…. Why did they change. This app has been full of bugs for months. Can’t easily see you daily handicap. Horrible

‘Approved rule 25.2’ No longer present on app

I raised this issue in early October 2025, and the issue still exists.

I am writing to formally request urgent correction of my official handicap record to reflect my approved status under Rule 25.2 of the Rules of Golf (Modifications for Players with Disabilities).

I have previously been recognised within the handicapping system as a player entitled to the allowances and modifications provided under Rule 25.2. However, since the transition to the new app/platform, this approval is no longer displayed on my handicap record. Despite earlier requests, this has not yet been rectified.

While this may appear to be a minor administrative issue, the practical and personal impact has been significant.

Each time I play in competitions away from my home club, I am required to explain and justify my disability and playing entitlements to competition officials who cannot see my Rule 25.2 approval recorded in the system. This places me in the distressing position of having to repeatedly disclose personal information and effectively “prove” my eligibility in front of others. It is embarrassing, demeaning, and isolates me from other competitors who are not required to justify their medical or physical circumstances in this way.

Rule 25 exists to ensure that golfers with disabilities can participate equitably and with dignity under the Rules of Golf. When my approved status is not visible in the official handicap system, that purpose is undermined. The burden shifts onto me personally, rather than the system accurately reflecting the approval already granted.

I am not requesting any special treatment beyond what the Rules of Golf already provide. I am simply asking that my official record accurately show my approved Rule 25.2 status so that competition committees and officials can readily verify my entitlements without me having to repeatedly advocate for myself in uncomfortable situations.

This matter needs to be reviewed as a priority.

Please notify me when corrected.

Hopeless App

Installed it on my iPad and it froze first time I opened it. A total garbage app, both the performance and UI design are just awful. Giving it 1 out of 5 is extremely generous.

Unfathomable

This is the worst app I have ever used. Who employs these people? It is so convoluted, e.g. you can’t see your last 20 scores, it only displays last 3! Please fix it & return to previous app, which worked fine for 10+ years.

Triple Bogey Application

Just like the BOM, take a good app and replace it with something pathetic. Please just go back to the old app and put all of us out of our misery.

Totally useless

Why would you spend $$$ changing from a good working system to a really hard to use bad app

Ok but it has lost functionality

The quintessential requirement of the app is to easily be able to copy your and your friends GA (Golflink) numbers but that ability has disappeared. You need it to cut and paste into bookings etc. please bring it back.

Shocker

Very confusing to navigate especially other players handicaps

Golf Australia App

Absolutely terrible. Very slow, difficult to use.

Great app!

Awesome to be able to score and view your handicap all in one place.

Can’t check others handicap on different courses

Can not check someone’s handicap on different courses. Very limited what you can view compared to old app

Bad App don’t waste your time

Awful App needs to be scrapped and start again, won’t let you sign in and keeps saying incorrect Golf ID/Password

Downgrade

This is the worst application ever. What's truly bad is refusing to fix something even when it's cleary wrong.

Very Very Poor.

If I could give zero I would. This app is terrible compared to the previous one. It’s clunky to navigate, colours are all wrong, and like other users have said it’s missing loads of functionality the old one had. The Golf Australia website has also changed which is even worse than this app.
