• Play without carrying your phone
• Sync round data between Apple Watch and iPhone
• Contribute workouts to Apple Health and your Activity rings
• Show maps on your watch (Internet needed for this feature)

• Swing plane
• Impact angle

• View holes using 2D or 3D maps
• Preview each hole with a 3D flyover

Once a course has been loaded, it remains available offline, so you don’t need a reliable internet connection on the course.

USE IT YOUR WAY

Use Golf GPS++ on your iPhone, your Apple Watch, or both together. Round information syncs between your phone and Watch in real time.

The iPhone experience includes free GPS and course-mapping features. Apple Watch functionality, custom clubs, and certain advanced features require Golf GPS++ Premium.

### 5/5 — Add score

*2026-06-26, version 1.28*

Show current score while playing a round

### 1/5 — Lost data

*2026-06-21, version 1.28*

I stuck with this app for five years.  It does not have the features of newer apps but it had five years of my scores which I valued.   A week ago I went into the app and all my data was gone.  I have reached out multiple times with no response.  This occurred a month after my renewal occurred.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2026-06-19, version 1.28*

Unfortunately this app is not working for me. Several times this app has not saved information and now all my scores for the past year are gone. I’m so disappointed.

### 1/5 — Lost all information on app and zero response from company

*2026-06-19*

I just finished a round and when I went to check my scores the app when blank, no scores, no club information, no courses available. The screen show I lost my internet connection, what!! I tried about a dozen times to reach the company and/or reset my password but the company didn’t respond. I have got zero response in the last four days in my attempt to get the company to respond.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-06-19, version 1.28*

This app has stopped working 6/16/2026

### 1/5 — Not always reliable!

*2026-06-18*

I purchased a lifetime access and almost once every few weeks I have to reactivate the membership. Monday I was at a new golf course and it would not connect to the golf course so I had to play the whole round without any yardage. That made me nervous because now I don’t know that I can trust the app.  It seemed to be working fine then maybe an update recently on the iPhone caused an issue? It was very frustrating. I otherwise love the app that I get a little nervous that I can’t count on it all the time.

### 5/5 — Really Nice App!

*2026-05-24, version 1.28*

I love this love this app and use it all the time! 
 
The biggest thing I took from it is that I now know which club to use for the distance that I hit.

### 1/5 — Paid for premium and Apple Watch app does not work

*2026-04-28, version 1.28*

Paid for premium and Apple Watch app does not work

### 3/5 — Recherche parcours

*2025-10-10*

Bonjour, je n’ai accès qu’à quelques parcours. Comment effectuer une recherche? Seule la localisation automatique le permet apparemment.

### 5/5 — Best app on the market

*2025-06-29, version 1.27*

Been using for several years yardage is perfect Best part leave your phone in the cart get perfect distance from your watch
