### 2/5 — New update

*2026-05-02, version 3.0.0*

Seems to run very slow now and doesn’t load sometimes and layout is bad

### 2/5 — Too slow

*2026-04-25, version 3.0.0*

Preferred the older version, this one is too slow

### 1/5 — New Update - Terrible

*2026-04-25, version 3.0.0*

The latest Golf NZ app update is terrible. Unbearable loading times when trying to book a tee time or load scores. The new interface is also messy and cheap looking. Looks like a first time developer remade the entire app. Please change it back!

### 3/5 — Tee Booking Issues

*2026-03-17, version 2.0.8*

Generally pretty good but the booking portion of the app sometimes does not work. No green dots appear even though you can book through the clubs website. Frustrating as by the time to log into the other, tee times are gone.

### 1/5 — Remove ads

*2025-12-27, version 2.0.8*

Ever since you introduced the home screen ad I've been averaging 5 app crashes/restarts per round of golf(from none).
Also, could we get rid of the ad at app load?

Update:
There's consistency: I consistently get served ads. Also consistently get app crashes. Loving this when I max a hole and have to painstakingly load the app, wait for the ad, open my scorecard and browse to the hole to mark my max score.

### 2/5 — Performance inconsistent

*2025-12-02, version 2.0.8*

Score cards not being produced and available tee times not accurate. Needs to be improved.

### 2/5 — Bad Gateway

*2025-10-09, version 2.0.8*

Unilaterally logged me out, won’t allow me to sign back in. When you click the link for ‘forgotten password’ it just says ‘bad gateway’. Useless

### 2/5 — Remove ads

*2025-09-14, version 2.0.8*

Ever since you introduced the home screen ad I've been averaging 5 app crashes/restarts per round of golf(from none).
Also, could we get rid of the ad at app load?

### 3/5 — Incorrect score Pop Up

*2025-08-20, version 2.0.8*

It is frustrating when a score has been put in by your playing partner incorrectly then amended by the next hole but still get the same pop up for the rest of the round. Each time it comes up after entering a score so then have to swipe to enter another score on the same hole. Also why not have in the drop down menu a “go to hole #” for easy maintainence on the course.

### 1/5 — Horrible update

*2025-03-09, version 2.0.3*

The latest update makes a bad app worse. Well done.

The friends list is buggy showing wrong scores and wrong or just blank profile pictures.

It now takes multiple steps to find someone you just had a tee time with. It insists I filter by my club but can’t even find my club, and then can’t find my partner who was on my sheet and booked the tee time for me. There is zero intuitiveness in this app, it’s slow, clunky, extremely buggy and feels like it’s 10 years behind in development.

The app was bad enough before this latest update and now is even worse: why are we putting up with this in 2025, find a new developer and rebuild it,
