### 3/5 — Free handicap would be nice.

*2026-08-19*

Would give higher review if you didn’t have to pay for a handicap.

### 2/5 — Was good; now poor

*2026-08-05*

This app was awesome for so long and now… just glitches and errors across the board.  Asinine to me that we have to pay for this and/or this is the representation of the game in Canada.

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-07-17*

The app overall is great to use, but recently there have been so many glitches. I haven’t been able to use the app for 2 weeks now because it just crashes.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear about your experience. Please update your version, there are some important bug gixes in 7.5.3 that should improve crashes.

### 2/5 — Courses

*2026-06-10*

I could not enter my score at Meota or jaskfish lake

### 3/5 — posting old scored

*2026-06-05*

if i do as much as look at an old score- it shows up in the timeline. why would i want a 2024 score posted as if it was recent?

### 3/5 — Total score during round

*2026-05-31*

Need to be able to see total score during the round.

### 3/5 — New update

*2026-05-29*

Now my IPhone 6 won’t recognize app

### 2/5 — Does not work on all courses

*2026-05-25, version 7.4.3*

Will not be renewing. 
Does not recognize all courses in canada. Nothing in us. No gps, no scoring no handicap. 
Needed for handicap. No work no value. 
Many others like garmin are cheaper and work all north america

### 3/5 — Correction

*2026-05-23, version 7.4.3*

Difficile de corriger un score si tu te trompe
Pour pas dire impossible

### 1/5 — Hard to understand

*2026-05-18, version 7.4.3*

Not friendly app, not easy to see your last 20

### 1/5 — App on Apple Watch

*2026-05-18, version 7.4.3*

Distance from hole you are on to get yardage- the yardage flicks/moves back & forth for accuracy. I can’t get a glance at the yardage and makes fellow players wait while I fuss to find it. I want to support Golf Canada and convenience of importing score. Please fix. Also bought the watch for accuracy, convenience and health benefits and to not have phones going off on course.

### 1/5 — No password reset

*2026-05-17, version 7.4.3*

Trying to reset password after I forgot.  app sends a code to reset and every code that is sent is invalid. Can’t actually use the app.

### 2/5 — Faciliter la procédure S.v.p.

*2026-05-14, version 7.4.3*

Pas évident de faire l’Inscription du pointage total uniquement!

### 1/5 — Review

*2026-05-07, version 7.4.3*

Too many ads.

### 1/5 — Update ruined the app

*2026-05-06, version 7.4.3*

Scores won’t load on home page. I still do not understand how this app is so far behind competitors

### 1/5 — New version

*2026-08-12*

I can not find how to look up a handicap of other players. It seems the app is only about me & my scores

### 1/5 — Completely Broken

*2026-08-04*

As of Jul 2026, submitting a game that uses Apple Watch fails, and the Watch app doesn’t release the play session. I’ve played enough this week to see the pattern. 

Hopefully it gets fixed, but I’ll have moved on so won’t be able to test.

### 1/5 — Entering scores

*2026-07-19*

Prior years I could enter my round total, since latest renewal I have to enter hole by hole.

**Developer response:** Yes, Hole-by-hole scoring is becoming mandatory by provinces because a single total score doesn’t give the World Handicap System enough information to make every required adjustment accurately.

Hole by hole scoring allows the system to:
- Automatically cap unusually high hole scores at net double bogey.
- Identify holes that weren’t played.
- Calculate an expected score for unfinished rounds.
- Produce more consistent and accurate Score Differentials.
Improve handicap integrity and peer review.

### 1/5 — Sign up

*2026-07-03*

Can someone please contact me. I’ve been trying sign up and pay and everytime I punch my credit card in it asks for a zip code not a postal code. Why would this even happen it’s golf Canada not the states. And my info says I live in Ontario. I need my handicap ur can’t get because it won’t let me pay

**Developer response:** Very sorry to read you were having troubles. Please contact us at members@golfcanada.ca or 1-800-263-0009 x 399 and we can assist.

### 1/5 — Course Handicap Calculator

*2026-06-04*

My handicap is calculated but I am not able to see the Handicap Index, the Slope or the Rating values. Not able to put new values in for another course. The key board does not retract to see my handicap if I put a new course in.

### 1/5 — Missing 2 rounds

*2026-05-30*

I couldn’t save a round of score so I checked for app update. After update, not only the round I am trying to save is gone, the previous round was also gone?! How can an official app be this unreliable?!

### 1/5 — App update

*2026-05-29*

Since the new app update yesterday cannot post a score

### 1/5 — You broke it…

*2026-05-28*

In the latest update - I cannot select percentage of my cap when viewing a course. Fix it please.

### 1/5 — Worst App OAT

*2026-05-28*

It’s ridiculous how bad this app is. Every time I open golf Canada I am bombarded with previously posted and old scores instead of the most recent. This is before mentioning the banners that are completely wrong but listed on everyone’s posts.

Lastly, where is live scoring?? You’re telling me that in 2026 our national golf scoring system is not only a complete POS but doesn’t offer a live scoring option.

Be better.

### 1/5 — Kinda sucks

*2026-05-26*

L’application ne s’ouvre plus, cela date de quelques semaines….j’ai iPhone 8 et ma version est IOS 16.7.16 ….. avez un indice pour moi !!!! Merci

### 5/5 — Great app

Great for keeping track. I love the ultimate score cards, neat feature

### 5/5 — Mobile

*2026-04-26, version 7.4.3*

Like the look on mobile

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-08, version 7.4.2*

Phenomenal performance, great for juniors as I can play rounds for 5$ with the youth on course membership included with golf Canada!

### 5/5 — Handicap

*2025-10-15, version 7.3.4*

My handicap is tweaking

### 5/5 — Good app, just one suggestion

*2025-10-14, version 7.3.3*

I have trailed a bunch of paid app this season,until my friend suggested this app. It is free, and has all the features I need,GPS and score on Apple Watch.
Just one suggestion: the hole list on Apple Watch are too easy to be switched to another hole. If there could be any lock and use button to switch the hole info would be good.

### 5/5 — One of the best!

*2025-10-04, version 7.3.3*

Love the app and new features.  Only minor gripe is since I upgraded to ios26 can’t seem to input scores.  Keyboard doesn’t appear and screen locks.
