Great Points Features
Update: review has been updated with a response and just went directly to someone that messaged me before and she responded but never a response via the official help line. Thankfully their hired contact responded and is assisting me. Appreciate her responsiveness.
Also received some items I won and all are great and shipped relatively quick with minimal shipping fees.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. This one is on us. If you reached out with questions about membership services and never received a response, that’s not the level of support we expect to provide. We’re glad you’re enjoying the app and course features, but we need the service behind them to be just as good. Please reach out to us again and reference this review so we can make sure your questions get answered.
The Real Deal
GolfN app
Cool…but could be Elite!
First, I don’t think there’s any chance someone really wins the Spin thing. That feels beyond impossible, and if someone IS winning something other than the usual squares, they need to market that, publicize it. Not to mention if I have a Silver Membership, I should only be able to Spin for a membership above my tier. More collectibles, more points prizes etc would make that more fun.
Second, I’m not getting points nearly as quickly as the MyGolFSpy writer mentioned. More transparency around point totals, more points boost activities, rounds, etc would improve it as well.
Lastly, entries should be awarded for achieving certain goals. Play 3x a week, earn 300 bonus entries etc. If we’re gonna gamify, let’s really gamify!
Going to use through seasons end and reevaluate. Not sure I’m willing to step up my subscription if it doesn’t seem like I’ll ever accumulate that many points.
What a find.

Please email support@golfn.com with the device you’re using and a quick note that you left this review.

Best golf app there is
My only real nitpick is checking distances to hazards and bunkers. The cursor can be a little difficult to position and isn’t quite as intuitive as I’d like. I’d love to see a quicker, easier way to get those distances at a glance.
That said, it’s a minor complaint compared to everything GolfN gets right. If you play golf regularly, there’s really no reason not to have this app. Highly recommend it.
The things they offer aren’t worth a dang
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. A few clarifications are important here. GolfN publishes the terms and conditions for rewards, including restrictions like first-month-only membership offers, before redemption. Those aren’t “hidden things.” They’re part of the offer and available to review before you use your points. Points earned through Daily Rewards can vary because rewards and promotions change over time. That does not mean the system is inconsistent or manipulated. We also publish the applicable odds and hit rates for chance-based rewards. GolfN has awarded members over $700,000 of merchandise, memberships, experiences and other rewards, so the claim that “no one ever wins” simply isn’t accurate. We encourage members to review the published reward details, terms and odds so they understand exactly what each offer includes.
It’s Alright
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. We do have to push back on calling GolfN “outrageous in price.” The GPS, scoring, analytics and other core golf features are free. Memberships are optional and designed for golfers who want to accelerate their rewards. You mentioned paying for another golf app that tracks your rounds. Does that app give you any of that subscription money back in golf gear? GolfN does. Members earn points that can be redeemed toward real products from brands like Miura, Cobra, Srixon, Cleveland, L.A.B. Golf and Bettinardi. GolfN members have already redeemed more than $671,000 in rewards. We absolutely want to improve stability, course data and Pro Shop selection. But calling an optional rewards membership “outrageously priced” while paying another app simply to track your golf misses a pretty important difference between the two products.
Great Golf app with free bonuses
A Good Habit
Pretty basic app
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. To clarify, Daily Rewards are not “rigged” based on whether someone pays for a membership. We publish the applicable odds and hit rates so members can see how rewards are distributed rather than having to guess based on their individual results. Points Passes also have specific uses within GolfN, and we’re working to make their functionality and eligibility clearer in the app. We appreciate the feedback there. We’re glad you like the app’s layout, features and distance tracking. We also have significantly more than basic GPS and yardages available today, with additional features, rewards and experiences continuing to roll out.
It’s Legit
Dislike: New 10% off Membership in the free spin
Great app
Awesome App
Aside from that this app is fantastic! Sure it takes a while to gain points, but none of the other apps do that and if I’m playing golf anyways, why not add another perk to the game.
Great app for golf activity
Had much opportunity to earn points but overall decent golf companion app and the only one with some kind of rewards system for using it.
